Kubota 95-2 9302 Air in Fuel Code Troubleshooting and Solutions - MikePhua - 07-04-2025
The "air in fuel system" fault code on the Kubota 95-2 9302 skid steer typically causes the machine to stall or run erratically. This issue is usually caused by air entering the fuel system, affecting the engine's fuel supply and operation. Below are common troubleshooting steps and solutions for addressing this issue.
Problem Description
Users have reported encountering the "air in fuel system" fault code on the Kubota 95-2 9302, which causes the engine to stall. After starting the machine, it runs for a short period before losing power due to air entering the fuel system. This problem is often caused by leaks in the fuel lines, clogged fuel filters, or a malfunctioning fuel pump.
Common Causes and Solutions
- Inspect Fuel Lines and Connections
Fuel line leaks or damaged connections are one of the most common causes of air entering the fuel system. Inspect all fuel lines, fittings, and connections to ensure there are no loose, cracked, or damaged areas. Even small leaks can allow air to enter the fuel system, disrupting engine performance. If any leaks are found, replace or repair the damaged components promptly.
- Check the Fuel Filter
A clogged or damaged fuel filter can lead to insufficient fuel supply and result in air entering the fuel system. Inspect the fuel filter for any blockages or signs of wear. If the filter is clogged or old, replace it with a new one to ensure proper fuel filtration and flow.
- Examine the Fuel Pump
A malfunctioning fuel pump can cause inconsistent fuel delivery, leading to air entering the system. Check the fuel pump to ensure it is functioning correctly and providing a steady fuel supply. If the pump is faulty or damaged, it will need to be repaired or replaced.
- Check the Fuel System Venting
If air is not properly vented from the fuel system, it may accumulate and cause issues. Inspect the system for any venting mechanisms and ensure they are functioning correctly. If necessary, use the air bleed system to remove trapped air from the fuel lines and restore normal fuel pressure.
- Check Fuel Quality
Contaminated or water-laden fuel can also lead to fuel system issues, causing erratic engine performance. Inspect the fuel for cleanliness and ensure there is no water or sediment. If the fuel is contaminated, replace it with clean, high-quality fuel.
When the Kubota 95-2 9302 displays the "air in fuel system" fault code, it is typically due to issues like fuel line leaks, clogged fuel filters, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or fuel contamination. By systematically checking and addressing these components, most users can resolve the issue. If the problem persists, it is recommended to contact Panswork’s professional repair services for a detailed inspection and repair to restore normal operation.
