841 i know its happend before

841 worked hard in 95°+ heat running a 30 ft boom
sprayer ran good stopped idald down and jumped off
to open a gate to go into another field and the engine
seemed to struggle a little to run throuteld back up
and it ran fine and I know I know this is a common
problem and yes heat sheald is on their. And we all
know that the gas was just boiling away in the tank
the problem is I can't get fuel were I live that doesn't
have ethanol and I can't make the temp in Texas
cooler and when I'm in a time crunch to get things
done I can't wait four cooler evening temps.so my
question is what is the all time fix for this common
problem if I were to seek out a fuel additive to get the
boiling point of the fuel up what would it be and here
is another thing I would like some advice on for those
so inclined Google an out fit called hush mat its
supposed to be some pretty good heat reflect n stuff it
might be the way to go for all these guys with old
tractors and new fuel delimmas any way I do have the
fuel line routed a different way it runs up in front of the
muffeler where it is not to close to heat rather than
behind the mannafold. As fare as engine temp it was
running around 190 thanks guys let me know what
you thank sorry for the long post

A gallon of diesel fuel in a tankful of gas. Back in the hot corn picking days here in Iowa (Mounted picker on 960), it seemed to do the trick. Never had ethanol back then tho.

Put some tinfoil on the bottom of the tank with the shiny side down. It will reflect a lot of heat away from the tank.

Where do you live in Texas? At the Alon (formerly Fina) gas stations here in central Texas the Premium gas has no ethanol in it. I have heard that some of the Walmart (Murphy) gas stations sell Premium without ethanol.

Thanks for the come backs WayneIA and Mhb@ufe and
Texas. I am in central Texas but we don't have a alon near by we do have a murfys I will look into trying the premium fuel from there I wounder though how much higher is the boiling point of non ethanol fuel verses 10/15% and what is the difference with the fuel then and the fuel now regardless of the ethanol thats added these days.The post that wayneIIA I thank answers that with adding diesel that would up boiling point I don't know how long ago those days where but I thank Mhb@ufe has a point with reflecting heat with tin foil obviously in 1959 it would do the same thing but in the winter I can run this tractor all day every day and not have this problem what other than tin foil /diesel/and non ethanol can one do to improve on this design flaw for the long haul and for the better of the machine

Don't forget to check your timing. I have a 860 that was doing the same thing. Ran fine in cooler weather but would heat up quick in 85+ weather. My timing was off.

will look into that as well thanks

Having this trouble, too. I drove my tractor down the road no more than 2 miles (first time since getting it back running), the gas was boiling out the fuel gauge sender hole.

The NON-ETHANOL gas, that is.

The easiest-sounding fix is to add diesel to the fuel. What does that do to the engine? What else can be done?
