FORD 6610 GAS TANK

robc · Feb 24, 2020

I have a ford 6610 with diesel leaking somewhere about the gas tank, I see the diesel running down the side of the tank. Do I need to remove the hood of the tractor to find the leak?

It's most likely related to the return line going back into the tank filler neck. Either the tube going into the tank has come loose, and/or the hose is loose or cracked. I've seen it all.

Had that happen on MIL's 5600 a few weeks ago, the short rubber section that fits over the tank connection slipped off.
Had to take the tank shroud loose to lift it up enough to reinstall the hose.

Do I have to remove the hood of the Tractor to access the return line or is a another way to get to it?

The return line goes up the front of the tank behind the battery, open the hood and swing the battery out, then look to see if you can find where it's leaking.
I did have to unbolt the hood but didn't take it off to fix mine.
