[Farmall] Gas Draining from H tank with sediment bowl shut off...

[Greg Hass]

About adding a gas filter: For several years I put up with my Cub leaking 
gas from the carb every time I ran it out of gas, which was about twice a 
year. There was no way to stop it without taking the carb apart and blowing 
it out with air. The problem only occured if it ran out of gas. I didn't 
want to try a filter because that would alter the tractor. I'm not too hung 
up on keeping the tractor original as this is a working tractor although 
not a lot of hours per year; however I don't like to change things just for 
change. I did finally decide that if I kept taking the carb apart that 
often it was only a matter of time before it was damaged so I installed one 
of those inline see through filters; end of problem. It has been this way 
for 5 years and not leaked since. My guess is that when these tractors were 
used a lot, the filters weren't needed because gas was added so often the 
scale and such did not form; I only fill mine about half full three times a 
year. I have also noticed at shows that over half the tractors have these 
filters installed.
