[AT] Fuel Issue

[David Myers]

 Dennis,well before 1999 I experienced the same problem.  Turns out we had a clear substance ( can't remember just what it was) that would float around and act like a solid stopper when it got over the tank outlet.  Looked just like a clear, largish (3/4 to 1") bubble.  But it would plug the fitting without going into it.  Stop the engine and it would float away.  Something foreign had gotten into the tank.  We drained and cleaned the tank and the problem was gone. David     On Friday, October 11, 2019, 11:24:25 PM EDT, Dennis Johnson <moscowengnr at outlook.com> wrote:  
 
 My Farmall 2504 (Industrial version of 504) is giving me fuel problems. Acts like something is blocking fuel tank outlet, but it is not something I have been able to see. Cleaned settling bowl and had less than 1/32” if degree in it. Put it back and blew air backwards thru the line and it then runs fine. Had been setting a few months. Did similar thing last year. Would drive a little bit, and then start quitting every 30 feet or so. Jiggle the inline filter in the hose between tank and carb, and it starts and goes another 30 feet.
Questions assuming something is in tank blocking outlet:
1: how do you get it out??
2: what do you do to treat the inside of the tank so this stops happening, generally at inopportune times??

Thanks
Dennis
