I accidentally posted this on the Oliver crawler page. I copied and pasted it to the right page, let me know what you guys think.
Long story short, tractor has been sitting. Drained the fuel tank, cleaned the shut off fitting on bottom of tank. Blew air through the line to filter. New glass type fuel filter, blew air through the line to injection pump. All good and clean. Added 5 gallons of fuel and gravity will now flow it through the filter. Take filter off and fuel runs good on the ground, why would this tractor not have a lift pump? Looks blocked off from the factory. Surely I dont need to add more fuel? I have the tank cap off so I know its not a vent issue. Any other ideas? Tractor runs great on a separate tank of fuel. New injection pump and injectors. Add more fuel to the tank is easy but surely you would think the tractor should run until the tank is empty. Should I put a lift pump on this tractor? If so does anyone have the factory 310 fuel lines from the filter to the lift pump? Nice original 3,300 hour tractor would hate to rig up some rubber hoses. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks
