| My 4720 has been throwing fuel rail pressure codes for 2 days now. Code 1347.7. Runs fine in the field other than the code coming up. When going down the road is when it loses power. The code doesn't come up and stay. It'll come up and stay for a minute or two then go away, then come back a few minutes later. Any suggestions on where to start looking? |

Alliance, NE | Change fuel filtersnor it might be bad sensor? |

| Forgot to mention I changed the filters and they have about 20 hours on them since change. Also drained the water separator on both filters today, no luck out of that. |

| Mine throws that code a lot also and was told they are picky on filters. I change regularly but still get code but I never have any power loss. Might be something else ?

| I was told by the dealer today that it could be anything from trash in the system to cracked housing where the filters are. Also to change the filters again and see if that does anything. I guess that's the first place to start. There isn't any visible fuel leaks anywhere on the motor. The motor does change sounds some and will starting knocking hard for a few seconds like its starving for fuel. |

SE MN | There was a thread on here the other day about 30 series tractors and rail pressure codes. 1347.07 mostly tractors but one on 4830 maybe same issue? Not sure if 4720 has same motor but there was some suggestions beside filters I'm not sure how to post the thread here |

Central SD | IIRC I had that problem on my 4720. I know I have a short fuel line for it around here somewhere. Check to make sure all the fittings along the rail are tight or tiny pin hole in lines. Seems like whenever I had the problem, I could smell fuel, but couldn't see any evidence. I think it was a loose connection, highly pressurized, just a mist of a leak. Sorry my memory isn't any better, been a few years since. |

| Still giving trouble and seems to be getting worse. Been spraying wheat for the past two days and it ran fine yesterday, still threw the code but the motor never checked up. Today was a different story. Ran fine till about lunch then started losing power. It would die down in first gear and start putting out black smoke. Could only run the hydrostat about half in first gear. Drained the separators on both filters and it would do fine for about 5 minutes then start right back. Starting to wonder if its trash or water in the fuel? It's about a quarter of a tank full right now. Going to try and change filters in the morning and run some diesel treatment through it to see if it helps. Any other suggestions on what it might be? |

| I have about 300 more acres to go. Gotta try and get over it before I do anything. Should I fun just enough fuel in it to get over that then drain the fuel and check the screen filter inside the tank? Trying to check everything from the tank to the motor. Starting with the simple stuff |

|
| Also, after draining the filters, when I go to prime them back up on the transfer pump, it never gets tight. The motor will eventually start but the little primer handle will never get tight, like the filters are full. Is this normal? |
