RPM. Loss

[Arkansas USMC Ret]

Hi, I am the new guy from North Central Arkansas. I own a 2014 Mahindra 28xl HST. I am having an issue with my tractor. When it is running it starting losing RPMS sometimes to the point of stalling. It has a new fuel filter and the fuel pump sprays like a healthy heart. One thing I have noticed is that the fuel filter bowl starts drain faster than it fills when the RPMs start dropping off. Does the Max 28xl have an in tank filter or screen other than the fill screen?

Hi you either have a plugged fuel cap vent or diesel fuel algae in the fuel tank, I don't know if that tractor has a screen in the tank.....

Thank you so much for your input. I suppected the vent so I removed the fuel cap and it continued as described. I drained fuel into a mason jar and it didn't show any signs of alge but I am still not ruling that out. When I removed the fuel line to drain some fuel it just sort of trickled out. That is why I was wondering about a in tank filter or screen.

Sound like you have an in tank screen that needs cleaning.

That's the same thing I am thinking. Now I just need to figure out how to remove the tank.

I don't think there is a screen in the tank it shows one in the fill neck part number 7 , Take the hose off the inlet side of the filter and see how fast it drain out.....
