[QUOTE="RNW, post: 1836496, member: 42761"] i have a 20 year old JD 5525. i have had the same problems. there is a check valve before the small inline fuel filter that helps a little. keep your tank full as much of the time as you can will help. i have heard that you can install a fuel pump(after market is much cheaper that will help the problem) I have had algae/slime problems clogging my tank at the bottom and have had to have the tank drained and pressure washed. i was told that i should treat my fuel with a proper diesel treatment for the slime/algae problem and have started doing so. not regular diesel treatment, this is a higher priced treatment and you need to treat your storage tank also. i was told that since they started using plastic tanks on tractors that it encourages the tank to "sweat" when left and not "full". still treat for water also. i now keep my tank full and treated and my fingers crossed. i have dealt with this for about 3 years. now i have been in recovery for 6 months. remember you can't bleed the system unless it is "full" because of the design and location of the tank. The tractor has served me well for over 20 years except for this design flaw on the fuel. hope this helps. let me know if i can help.....i have felt your pain [/QUOTE]
