I notice when I run the tractor and bush hog for a little while. The gas in the tank sounds like it's almost boiling. At least it sounds like it's the gas in the tank verses water I the radiator. Thanks and Any ideas?
 
One idea from the Midwest... wait til it cools off in the evening. If you're out in the sun like today, in the Midwest, you're heating that tank from the top, the front and the heat from the engine.
 
It probably is.

This has become a problem with some older farm tractors with the fuel tank above the engine since the EPA started mandating all of the nonsense.

It helps to avoid gasoline with ethanol if you can.

As others said use non ethanol gas as a start,
My TO35 Ferguson has a heat shield built over the exhaust manifold that to some degree protects the fuel tank from the heat,

Your tractor may have had one, over the years it may have been taken off during a repair job and not replaced,

Mt neighbors old TO30 boils the gas all the time, I just would not like to hear that sound as I am driving the tractor,
