  1. Hello, we have a situation with an excavator slowly sinking in mud in a very steep angle and wont start,it all happened a few weeks ago when it was re-fueled, the diesel fuel came from a busy service station where we had bought fuel before and had no issues with it, we had one injector replaced, same, just wont fire but it will if engine start spray is used, but then it stops running when spraying stops, the batteries have been checked and turns engine, the fuses have been checked, any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
