I have a 1970 Ford 4500 Industrial tractor. Just this past weekend the tractor began to stall on me while using it and than would be hard to start. I knew that the fuel was getting low (by the way this is a 3cyl. Diesel) so added another 5 gallons of fresh diesel. Shortly after it stalled and would not start at all. I pulled the single fuel filter (CAV type) off and it was extremely dirty. I’m in the process of replacing it knows. I thought it best to check to make sure that all of the fuel lines were clear. I started at the tank and disconnected the line from the outlet value to the filter housing. To my surprise no matter if the outlet was open or closed I was unable to get any fuel to flow from the tank (I did remove the gas cap to make sure that I had good venting). Accordingly to my manual the outlet is integral to the tank but it does mention that there is a nylon screen. I tried to remove the value by removing the retaining washer from the end of the outlet but it appears to be stuck. I was thinking of trying to blow some air through the value to see if it opens up the outlet. Any one have any ideas? Should fuel flow from the tank unobstructed or is there some type of check value?
