Oil & Fuel MF Industrial 30 Fuel Starvd

[GrantN]

Have a MF Industrial 30 (comparable to 165, I think) with Perkins 4-cyl diesel. Having fuel problems with tractor running for 30, 45, or maybe 60 mins, then miss a few times, and then stops as if I pulled fuel cut-off. Have blown out all the lines up to the injector pump. Have replaced lift fuel pump. Have replaced both fuel filters, and ready now to replace them again to see if it will help. Based on bleeding at the fittings, fuel seems to be getting to injector pump and to each injector. At my wits end. Thanks for any help and ideas.

I'd bet there is some stuff floating around in the fuel tank which starts to collect around the fuel outlet of the tank when it's running, or the cap on the fuel tank isn't venting properly.

Thanks. I'll try both of those. The cap-vent issued has been suggested, so I'll look at both closely.
