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.
