It should be 5/16 fuel hose.

If I were you, I'd do 2 things. One, I'd install a strainer in the filler pipe (Kubota sells them btw) and they are cheap and 2, I'd install a Racor fuel polishing filter between the tank and the existing fuel bowl on the tractor.

Good idea.

Do you have a part number for the Kubota strainer?

I have a Racor 445 30 micron filter on my diesel storage tank.

I am not familiar with a fuel polishing filter got a link to one?

You have one on your bulk tank, I run them on my tractors. I use the IFJF bases (lots cheaper) and the Racor elements spin right on. In fact I like the IFJF bases better because there are 2 inlets and 2 outlets in each base and instead of 50 bucks, they are 20 bucks. Just installed one on my F2880 mower 2 micron Racor filter element.

Every Kubota dealer stocks them I believe they are around 10 bucks and drop right in. You'd be amazed what they catch too. I get grass, bugs and small twigs and I bulk fill as well. All that stuff migrates to the bottom of your fuel tank and eventually blocks the fuel flow. Kubota used to supply them with every new tractor. Must have gotten cheap. Fit right in the filler neck and come with various size bases so one size fits all.

Well it’s still running great at PTO and any rpm above idle. It runs my 9.5’ mower and 74” flail mower great.

However, it’s surging at idle.

What would cause it to surge while idling?

New Holland TC45D won't start fuel supply issue

I have a 2003 New Holland TC45D that I'm having issues with. I have a good supply of fuel when I loosen the bolt on top of the fuel pump to bleed the lines, but I cannot get any fuel to the injectors. I have tried loosening them and cranking when they are loose, but no fuel arrives. Any...

I am planning on trying to clean out the tractor’s fuel tank this winter. I may also check/replace the fuel return lines.

Nice thing about both my tractors is, there is a drain bung on the bottom of both saddle tanks so if I want to drain them and get out any debris, simple matter of letting the fuel get down low and taking out the drain plug.

Fuel starvation. Don’t hit these tanks with compressed air. These engines use a diaphragm lift pump and over pressuring could damage it. My tank was full of garbage in the bottom. These tanks have a very small inlet and it easily can plug. I drained the fuel and just used a hose taped to a shop vac to vacuum the tank clean. Then a little flush to clear the lines.

Since then mine only surges lightly on first cold start. After it does not. I ran into the fuel bowl half full issues. After cleaning the tank and a new filter it stays full.

Since the supply line from tank to filter was disconnected when I used a 18 volt tire inflator it would not have damaged the lift pump.

I can fully believe that junk in the tank would cause it.

The hose on a vacuum is a great idea thanks.
