So my IH 2444 uses a 12V fuel pump, and a line that runs diagonally down to it, from the bottom of the fuel tank.
A couple of weeks back, I ran the tractor out of gas, and it sucked a bunch of debris into the fuel line, which clogged right up.
So, I replaced the original steel line with a modern rubber one, and installed a proper fuel filter which previously the tractor was lacking.
Now, the dang thing KEEPS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. I'll just be driving along and the tractor dies. I pull the line off the input to the fuel filter, and just a little bit trickles out.
Usually the fuel filter wont completely fill, and a bubble of air remains. Sometimes it does completely fill, but this doesnt seem to make much difference.
I've already tried unhooking the fuel line and blowing compressed air up it, to remove any blockages. I just hear gurgles in the gas tank, like theres nothing slowing the air down.
Any ideas?
The only thing I've learned helps a little, is keeping the tank fairly full. Problem is, its about a 20 gallon tank, and I dont want to keep it all that full, because I dont put very many hours on the tractor.
Any relevant advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
