Fuel tank removal

[Huskbota]

Does anybody know how to remove the fuel tank on a Kubota L3010?

Yes, you unbolt it and remove it.

That would be obvious right? Did you ever remove one? Part number 010 goes over tank toward the rear. the only way I see to do it is to remove the muffler to allow plate number 070 to slide forward enough to allow tank out from under number 010

The workshop manual (WSM) for my B2910 has information on the step to remove my tank.

Check out RCW's post and find the one for your tractor. It might give you at least an idea.

I've found my WSM very useful so far.

Good luck!

I've done a few, I can't remember the exact steps, but it bight be possible that you need to remove the muffler or other parts.

I have found that when doing mechanical work a WSM is helpful, but you must have some mechanical ability to determine what needs to be removed to accomplish the task. Something simple like removing a fuel tank doesn't require a lot of analysis unlike disassembling a clutch or transmission. When in doubt about procedure's, do a simple "Google" search to see what turn up. This is what I did and I found this, which might help you.

I have a leak in the bottom of the fuel tank. I have removed the damper plate bolts and upper tank support bolts but cannot locate the lower tank support bolts to remove that so I can get the tank out. Where are they and how do I get to them.

Note how this person figures it out on his own without a WSM.

Just found this using the Google search engine: Kubota gas tank leaks water

I have a two year old Kubota L3010 which is an outstanding tool/toy which I would highly recommend. However, a couple weeks ago, it started knocking to the point where I towed it back to the barn. Found water in the bowl, so drained it all out and changed the filter. Still did not run right, so had the dealer come get her and check it out as I thought the injectors may have been damaged by the water. They said injectors are fine so they drained the entire fuel system and cleaned it all out. They let it sit out overnite in the rain and checked it again in the morning. Mmmmmm, got water in the fuel, how can that be? After some monkeying around, they checked with Kubota and found that they are having some problems with fuel tanks that leak and allow water in. They are replacing the tank but I thought this info might help someone out there from going crazy trying to troubleshoot a problem. Can't say I know which models have this issue but if you are having similar problems, contact your dealer. Good luck..

Buy a complete first aid kit, because sometimes a band aid isn't enough, and you need a tourniquet.
