My 1955 has a ROPS cab with the left and right fuel tanks. I have never put fuel in them since I bought the tractor in 1997. I want to start using these tanks. Is there anything I need to do to these tanks to be sure I won't have any fuel problems? Also, are there any things I need to watch for when using these tanks for fuel? I know that the main tank needs a nonvented cap. Thanks for any advice . I'm getting tired of fueling up so often.

I have a G1355 MM with the fender tanks. They are very handy. However, when the non-vented main tank filler cap goes bad, the fuel will drain from the side tanks and make a mess on the hood. Fill the main tank and one of the fender tanks just before you are ready to use the tractor. If the main cap leaks fuel onto the hood, go ahead and run it before very much leaks out. The motor will use the fuel faster than it can leak. Of course you are headed the local Agco dealer for a new cap before the next fill up.

Be careful to clean the fender tank caps every so often. I had a 1950T in the mid 70's and the fender caps plugged. The vaccume created, sucked the main fuel tank in so bad I had to replace the main tank.
