While digging on the property the other day I noticed a strong smell of fuel.
I shut off the tractor and did a quick walk around and found fuel pouring from the engine conpartment.
I ran down to the shed to grab the fire extinguisher and when I got back, I opened the hood. I could see fuel all over the left side of the engine but it took me awhile to pinpoint the source. I was a fuel hose that had been attached to the tank with one of those clamps that you squeeze with a needle nose plyers. It had just come off the nipple on the fuel tank. I put it back on and made sure the clamp was on correctly. I guess I'll be adding that to my list of things to check when doing my daily check. Here is a picture of where it came off.
