How do you fill your 10 series with a field cab?

[KenGod]

Love my new 3510 with field cab but I find it a huge pain to fill the new relocated fuel tank.
I use 5 gallon cans, I cannot empty the can fully due to the rear glass preventing me from tipping the can all the way up.

I looked for a fuel tank extension but came up empty

Has anyone come up with a bush fix other than getting a large tank with a pump system?

How about an EZ Pour spout for your 5 gallon container?

This is the high flow version with extra spout extension.

EZ-Pour HI-FLO Replacement Spout Kit 351 : Rural King

It will empty 5 gallons in just over 30 seconds.

Even with the EZ-Pour, the fuel has to enter the spout in order for it to drain out. I think the OP's issue is that he can't tilt the fuel can up high enough to drain it all...not how fast it drains. Siphon might be another option.

Have a similar problem with my CK3510SE. A “standard” 5 gallon diesel can won’t let you easily get the last gallon or so into the tank because of the location of the filler neck on the tank to the cab. I am comparing a couple of 30-50 gallon fuel caddies to use instead of cans. I burn a relatively small amount of diesel in the winter so may hold off on a purchase until spring. I have tried several different types of diesel cans and unless I am messing around with holding a funnel in the tank and pouring the Fuel into that I have the same issue.

With the added “8” extension, I think it would work fine. If you can’t fuel with 16” spout, you’ve really got a problem?

I agree. A longer spout should do the trick.

I agree. A longer spout should do the trick, but I still consider it a design flaw...after all, standard fuel cans don't come with long spouts. How did Kioti engineers thing owners were going to refuel their tractors?

Is this what we’re talking about?

I have been wanting to comment, but I am not familiar with 3510's, & I'm not really even sure what a "field cab" is. Be that as it may, Rick's picture (above) gives me the confidence to ask why can't you just open the rear window, & have all the room in the world? Seems like you would even have a 'ledge' to support the gas can while you poured??

Please keep in mind that I am not familiar with 3510's (and/or field cabs)

Looks like Im going to need to get new cans and try that High flow extension, I have 3 of these, you can see how short the spout is.


I could try and open the window. I read that once I put the backhoe on the seat will be in the way
