Looking for advice. Cockshutt 1850 fuel (Diesel) is running out of one of the lines in the picture.This one is the left hand line looking form the back of the tractor. Would my tank be sending fuel out or is this a Pump issue. Appreciate any advice.

Probably had fender tanks and it's plumbed to a Tee on the tank that is also hooked to the return from the injection pump.

Yes exactly, Upon further inspection that is what happened. But I still think that the tank needs to be vented or a new fuel cap (vented) put on. I never leaked from those hoses until now.
 
Your tractor had fender tanks on it at one time. The hose from each tank ran to a tee that is usually under the platform by the brake locks. A single hose runs from there to the return on the fuel tank. The front tank under the hood must have a non vented cap in order to draw fuel from the fender tanks, fender tanks must have vented caps. Simple fix, put a vented cap on the front fuel tank. The other option is to remove the hood, unhook the hose at the return, remove the tee fitting and hook the return line back up to the tank. Then remove the hoses running to the back of the tractor. I'd say just get a non vent fuel cap and put it on, problem solved. Chris
