Hello I have a 2009 T190 bobcat. That has been a good machine but lately it will run fine, then drop RPM then die. Changed fuel filter ran good again for 2 hours, finished plowing snow. Next day it ran fine but not for long, thought maybe had summer fuel in it so pumped it all out added 80 liters of winter diesel. Ran good again for a few hours then today it did the same thing runs good for half hour then drops RPM s then dies. Squeeze the primer build can hear fuel in the pump, then the primer bulb goes flat and stays that way for a while then will go back round then it will start right up. Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? Its not bad fuel, it is winter fuel with anti gel in it. it is only -10 outside. Sorry if this has been asked before.

I used a 12 volt pump to pump out 50 or so liters out through the primer bulb and the fuel filter with no issue.

I agree with reaperman, you most likely need to clean out the tank. Sometimes the gunk will only come up and block the pickup tube when the machine is moving around.

There is actually a drain plug located on the fuel tank. There should be a small access panel on the bottom center of the machine between the back wheels. It’s a messy job but sometimes it is the only way to get the larger clumps of gunk out.

Here is a link to the parts catalog so you can see where the plug is:

When it dies does it feel like the squeeze ball is empty and you are having to reprime the system?
