Do any of you have the same problems I have when I have a sediment bowl off and re-install it. If I put it on tight enouh to not leak it won't flow fuel. Had that problem today with a H Farmall. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I would rather have it do that, than fill up immediately and start dripping.

Huningreen,what the others said, but I guess I just like it full so I turn the fuel on slowly with the bowl setting loose, as the fuel nears the top I turn the tightener, just when it overflows I turn it all the way tight, bowl is full and I wipe off the glass and check for leaks..to each his own, but the others are quite correct...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Thanks Mike. Glad someone on here can be of help without getting smart. I had the fuel line completely off the carb so I don't know what the problem is. Before I pulled the bowl off it was flowing fuel. Bowl was just full of water.

If your talking about it not filling then the problem isn't the sediment bowl but in your head./ All it means is the carb is full of gas and the float is holding the needle closed so NO gas can flow. Start the tractor and watch the sediment bowl, it will fill in less then a minute. Works the same way as takeing a drinking straw and hold the end closed with your finger, then put it in a glass of soda and what happens?? The straw will not fill woith soda till you remove your finger, works the same way on the tractor fuel system and sediment bowl

Good post, Old!

I wonder what percentage of folks freak out when the sediment bowl doesn't immediately fill when they turn the gas back on after cleaning it!

You hit the nail on the head with your explanation of how the sediment bowl won't fill if the carb is already full of gas, and the float is holding the needle shut.
