My BX2350 has 113 hours on it. I have been reading all the fuel problems lately and think I had one. My tractor has been losing power under load a little bit lately. It almost acted like I was coming out of the seat, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the problem. I went ahead and changed the rear filter. I removed the front fuel line first, and noticed just a little bit of fuel came out, and when I removed the rear line the fuel poured out. When I put the new filter on and connected the rear line, I noticed alot more fuel came out the front with the new filter. It seemed to run much better afterwards.
What I can't figure out is why it plugged up in the first place. My tractor get used on a pretty regular basis, every couple weeks at the least. I get fuel from a gas station that moves alot of fuel, I think. During the recent cold weather I have kept it in a heated gargage (45 degrees). I treat my fuel with Howes. I cut the old filter open and it wasn't gelled up or obviously dirty. It didn't appear to have water in it. I'm just wondering if its normal to plug up a filter in a little over 100 hours.
