fuel leak.

No new news yet but i would think if it was a return line there would be just a small amount of leakage??? This leak i have is quite large, almost running out as soon as i start engine. Will know more next week

Small flow yes, but it's all relative.

The return flow in my Kubota F3060 is pretty substantial but never had reason to measure it.
I can see it when engine is running and fuel cap is opened up.

Wild guesstimate is under .5 gallons per minute, but certainly enough flow to make a mess in just few seconds.

Yep, little Kubota B7100 returns about half a gallon a minute while the JD 5020 returns what seems like 5 gpm. All it takes is a quart though to seem like a buckets worth spilled out.

ok now i am getting a better picture...i could not imagine that much so fast. Also, everything is so packed under the tank it is difficult to see much less get at things..arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhh
