JCB 536-40 Fuel Injectors

[RFF]

Our 2017 JCB stopped running. Dealer has diagnosed a fuel injector issue citing contaminated fuel. No other vehicles have had any issues. All our fuel stored in new tanks and filtered at Tank. I get the feeling from dealers that this is a problem with JCB engines but they wont admit. Anyone else had issues or know about this problem?

Just had a set put into a 536-60 with 5500hrs on it, thick end of £2k for the job

Yes looking at £4k through main dealer

Even at £4K that is steep, injectors are @£4-500 each, was quoted £490 but got them down to £400 then fitting and setting up on computer

Had one go at 2500ish hours

Do you use a fuel additive? One thing with the fame content in diesel is that it absorbs water and it doesn't separate out in sediment bowls so will travel throughout fuel system. I may be wrong but i wonder if this is the cause of a lot of injector problems.
