John Deere 2305 gas tank removal

shawnharmon · Dec 14, 2013

I need to remove the gas tank because there is something in it the keeps plugging the fuel line, To big to flow thru the fuel line, I have used low pressure to blow it back into the tank. It just keeps coming back. I will need to remove the side covers and control panel and lower shroud. I am just not sure how to get those all the way off.

Thanks Shawn

I think the problem is that they put a gas tank on there.

Sorry I can't help further.

Have you checked the interior of the tank for rust? If it's rust that's clogging it, you would probably need a new tank. If its just an object that fell in your tank while filling, you could probably use a flashlight and a flexible claw pick-up tool to remove it. That way you can leave the tank where it is.

Good luck,

If it is rusted there are companies that line tanks and guarantee them for a lot less than a new tank. I had a truck I did it on and it was like a new tank.
Any idea what's in there?

I will check that out first, did not think of using a claw, do not think it is rust, only 105 hours on the tractor I will post when I find out.

Thanks Shawn
