WOW!!!! A real tractor post. LOL!!!!
Ford 801 Diesel Seldom use the tractor. Might brush cut my field a couple times a year. Move some dirt or grade my driveway couple times a year. My adult ADD allows me to put needed projects on the back burner. So this has been a building ongoing problem.
Tractor starts and runs for a while then quits. Seems to be running out of fuel so I replaced the fuel filter. Did no good and conditions got worse. Took fuel strainer out the bottom of tank and removed screen. Also cleaned out tank. Tractor works fine for a while.
Now the problem is back. I can see the bottom of tank threw several inches of fuel so I do not think it is a algea problem. Took the fuel line loose on inlet of filter. Just a drip of fuel. Blow back into fuel line and can feel a blockage. Clear blockage and fuel runs slowly. Took over a hour to drain 5 gallons of fuel. Fuel looks clear. Can see the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket with 2.5 gallons of fuel in it. Do not see any trash in the bottom of tank that would cause a blockage. But there is definetly a blockage somewhere.
To heck with this. Ordered a bottle of biocide; a new fuel shut off valve; and a new piece of brake line I will bend into a fuel line. Contiplating taking all the tin off to get the tank off but I just do not see any trash.
Is there something I can use to flush this tank other than the garden hose while the shut off valve is off for just in case??? I would stick the garden hose in it if I thought I could get all the water back out.

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.
