I was bush hogging today when our Deutz D4006 seemed to have lost all power - no matter how much throttle I gave to the tractor it still just died in the field. I disconnected the fuel line coming directly out of the fuel tank and nothing came out - no fuel at all. So I took a stick and moved it around inside the tank, brushing the stick up against the bottom and fuel started to just pour out of the open line! So this appears to be a clogged fuel tank issue. I was then able to start the tractor and then move it back inside the barn.
We know that moving a stick around inside the fuel tank is not a good solution so we are looking for how to better solve this problem.
Our questions:
1. Can the fuel tank be cleaned without removing it? If yes, what is the best way to clean a fuel tank still on the tractor?
2. Is it hard to remove the fuel tank on the D4006? (It looks kinda hard but maybe there's a good way to remove it)
3. How do you clean a fuel tank that is off the tractor?
4. How do we know that we have thoroughly cleaned the fuel tank? In other words, what should we be looking for when examining the inside of the tank?
5. Should we buy a new fuel tank instead of trying to clean this one? (Deutz Boyz may have one)

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
