Bobcat 873T

[wespat]

I have an 873T put 10 gal. of fuel in it. Ran for about 10 mins. and its like it is out of gas. Took the fuel line loose and got no fuel coming out so I pumped the line pump and still get no fuel.Is there a fuel shut off or am I doing something wrong. I bought the machine used and it has about 125 hours. Thanks

My first guess would be the suction line in the tank. They are known to have problems. Find the fitting with the gromet than goes into the tank and pry the fitting out. The suction line will be connected hopefully. It should go to the bottom of the tank and not have any splits or holes in the hose.

How is the best way to get to this?

I have read about a replacement line located in a new location. Do you have any information on how to do this and where do I get the line

Pulled the line out the top of the tank. I found the suction line was broke off and in the tank. I am going to the dealer and get a new one. My question is do I need to get the old one out or is it all right just to leave it in? Thanks for all the help

If you can get it out I would but it shouldnt cause any problems if you leave it in. I wouldnt spend half an hour trying to get it out. But I would make an attempt.

I think there maybe a couple old lines floating around in my tank...no big deal
