You changed your filters?Is there rubber line from the tank to the motor. If so extend it into the cab and put a boat primer bulb (or electric fuel pump) where you can reach it to play lift pump when it starts to die. See if that helps.Also check the line going into the tank is clear, some have a screen on the pickup, and on Bobcat brand loaders the pickups are known for breaking off and sucking air with a 1/2 tank. Might be something to check.If you think you have air getting in the fuel system, find the return fuel line from the engine to the tank and remove and submerge the end into a pail of fuel, start the engine and look for bubbles coming from the return line. If you have bubbles you have a problem you need to find and fix.Ken</blockquote>
