The fuel line from the sediment bowl to the fuel tank has developed a metal fatigue leak. Removing it has not yet been accomplished....its looking like the easy way out is just to cut it in half and replace with rubber hose? Any old Indian tricks appreciated...

I have the add on front fuel tank...half full and the regular tank half full. I think I probably could have reinstalled the original line after brazing IF I had been willing to wrestle those tanks. I ended up just forcing the line out, cut the ends off and added the rubber line. Yeah I prefer original---but I figure a time may come when I have no choice but to remove the tanks. I will put back steel line then. Thanks to you fellas for your comments. Chad

ON my 3020 diesel I have a inline filter on the fuel supply line. I have a short piece of the original steel line in the tank and also on the fuel pump and just replaced with rubber fuel line. Not original but much cheaper and easier to work with. I like the idea of having an extra filter in there too.

A new fuel line is still available from Deere. It will run you all of $35 or thereabouts. With a little patience, you can get the old one out (cutting it in half isn't a bad idea), and the new one back in. Rubber hose could be used, but the correct fuel line will look better and last far longer than a rubber hose, not to mention that you'd have to cut off the ends of the old line to connect to the tank and lift pump anyway. Your original line lasted 30+ years, and you'll replace a rubber hose four or five times before another steel line fails. My two cents.

I worked on a 3010-4020 years ago. Had the same problem. Can't exactly remember how I got the fuel line out. Seems to me I pulled until it came out. Kind of straightend out the factory bends pulling it out. I brazed up the holes (braze all the way around the tube, like wraping a band-aid around it) and stuffed it back in place and reformed it back to shape while it was in the tractor. Otherwise maybe remove the fuel tank? That would be a good time to clean out the dirt and water in the bottom, and the corn stalks too. yes, I find corn stalks in those tanks, farmers use the corn stalk for a fuel gauge!!
