Oil & Fuel fuel shutoff in l2500

[jimbo64]

where is fuel shutoff on l2500-grandson changing fuel filter and says he can't find. pic anyone thanks

on my 2550 it is a little handle above the filter.

will check, makes sense, thanks repete

a'int no such shutoff before fuel filter or at least that I have found. Books do not show or mention one. cannot believe that Kubota would let something like that fall thru the engineering cracks. Makes for a messy filter change-you gotta be quick, come on someone tell me I missed something. Lets hear from someone with an l2500

thanks jimbo - could one be added or would this put to much of a restriction in the line and starve it for fuel

There isn't one on my L2500.I used some vice grips on hose.Good time to change out fuel line.Mine was brittle.

I have an L2500 and it has no shut-off valve. I was really suprised. I spoke with a mechanic about this and he told me there are pliers (somewhat like vice grips) that are used to shut off fuel lines etc. without harming the lines. I just did the quick change method myself.

thanks guys-wonder if putting one [shutoff] in the line would restict the fuel flow so much it would impact the tractor performance, anyone ever put one in?

I think a shut-off valve would make a good upgrade and your low fuel use
would allow the use of a small one, like you see on lawn mowers.

I had an L2500DT, and I recall it had a very unusual spin-on cartridge
fuel filter. No filter bowl, like most tractors this size.

If it's like mine (L3400) according to the manual there will be no fuel flow when the filter is removed for cleaning. Mind you, I haven't tried it yet, and I think I'll be outside with a pail and a pair of pliers handy when I do try it, but that's what the manual says.

If you do add a shutoff valve, you're not going to need a big one, the snowblower size (Tecumseh) should be big enough. If that was left open it would drain the tank in about half an hour, if you burn more than that you're making a lot more horsepower than I think you are !!

trust me chilly807 that there is a big fuel flow when the filter is removed, one must be quick when putting new filter on. Don't do it in any area that you don't want a mess. at least with the l2500]
