Reading your posts maybe my problem and your is related. I have a MF1835 that at 1/2 tank of fuel will stop when climbing and incline where the engine is higher than the fuel tank. 1st time service dealer suggested new filter. only 135 +tax no change but in looking how the fuel line is strung out from tank to filter then goes to radiator to cool continuing to fuel the emission system . uses diesel for cleaning exhuast system.
I have found the inlet to the filter fitting collects trash or what ever it is and blocks the filter line .I just make sure the tank is full before using anywhere other than level ground.
No conplaints just wish a drawimg of system and where found was included in purchase.
Also the battery is cheaper designed than a Wal Mart lawn battery. looks good but no voltage.

If your tractor has a fuel cooler it's probably a common rail fuel system which would be completely different from what's being discussed here.

Reading the supplied book on this tractor. only explaination is uses diesel for emmission control ,and tracing the lines from filter to front of Radiatior is another cooler. asking the deailer they said is a fuel cooler. light on dash shows when it is cleaning emmissions from exhaust.
My comment was on the post of fuel shortage and my suggestion was may be simular to mine. Don't know the fancied termination. only what i have found to cause fuel to be restricted to the fuel pump.

Have you been able to eliminate all contaminates "trash" from your fuel system?

Once contaminants get into your tank it can be quite the job of removing them without completely removing the tank and flushing it upside down.

I had a similar problem with my 1540(95% same), after getting a delivery of bad fuel. Tried many unsuccessful fixes for months.
Getting the tank out of this model is a bi%ch.
Finally broke down and bought some fuel tank “cleaner” product, and within 2 tanks, it was completely back to normal. Haven’t had the problem again.
Not an endorsement for this product by any stretch, im usually pretty anti-snake oil additives. Just an fyi screenshot of what product I happened to pick up at the store.
I still have the remaining product in my garage
