      When I bought my foton the was a parts package that came with it and there was a extra injector in the kit and other small parts. I guess that you did not get such a kit. If not, I read on this site awhile ago(maybe the old forum) that these injectors are not pricey maybe pick some up and change them out. It might be cheaper than having them gone threw by a diesel shop.

        may be if possible some fuel line attached to the vent tube and carried to a higher placed around the radiator upper tank and some type of valve on the hose like what is used on vechicle differentials  so it can breath. I have had trouble with some type of dirt dobber  plug the vents on mine.

          I got a generic lens polishing kit next time it rains I will try to remember to try cleaning them up, maybe I will get lucky.

            have you tried them on the Chinese tractor lens with any luck? I used a Sylvania product on my 96 dodge with good luck it was slow process about 1/2 hr per lens but it worked well, I kinda figured the plastics used are different for manf. to manf. since I have a 2005 that is real bad but the 2006 is ok so I guess the plastic formulation are not the same.

              I doubt it would make any difference but instead of breaking the fuel line at the injector do it at the pump just in case something weird is going on if nothing else seems to work. Even try loosening them all at one time briefly to see if one leaks out more than another. which will be subjective to several variances I know . but oh well.

                I assume you put more fuel in the tank. then look at the fuel glass bowl filter, if you have one and make sure it is clean ( look at the fuel color make sure no water is in there) It won’t hurt to drain the canister fuel filter in a glass jar and see what was in there if you do not have glass bowl. replace filter back if was clean if a mess toss out. next to reprime filter at the fuel line that goes to the injector pump crack it open(maybe a banjo fitting) then push the manual fuel pump button till comes out at pump, then crack each injector and turn over till diesel sprays out. do not overheat the starter when doing this. I am sure I forgot something  .,good luck

                  I think 303 is a tranny oil with older john deere and universal can be used in common sump systems use aw 32 in lifting and steering systems .

                    there will be a brief 2 month wait on parts for this, it is a good thing that this was not really service affecting.

                      take a quick look at your oil capacity level to make sure it does not have to much oil ( or other fluids that might be leaking into oil) in in crankcase and overfilling.

                        yeah you are probably right buy new and modify, I have been thinking about getting the metric thread pitch and see if someone else make the same joints but with a different design as far as joint lube service. but that I think will be a dead end.
