Tractor Repair: FORD 1510, ford 1510 tractor, fuel level


Question
I HAVE A FORD 1510 TRACTOR THAT RUNS FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN STOPS LIKE ITS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL.  I HAVE NEW INJECTORS AND A DIFFERENT FUEL INJECTOR THAT I BOUGHT USED BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO FIND A NEW ONE.  I HAVE BLED THE SYSTEM A HUNDRED TIMES BUT STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.  I REPLACED ALL FUEL LINES AND CLEANED THE FUEL TANK AND I HAVE THE SAME RESULTS. PLEASE GIVE ME A DIRECTION TO GO IN.  THANK YOU.

Answer
Hello,

  If you cleaned the tank, then I assume that you checked the flow of fuel from the tank outlet to the filter.  Replace the fuel filter if you have not replaced it yet.  If yours has an electric fuel solenoid on the injection pump so that the engine shuts off with the key, check if there is power to it when the engine dies.  Make sure the tank is venting properly so that it does not build a vaccuum as the fuel level drops.
