    Bx1800/2200 fuel sender leak fix

    I'll let ya know. But I will probably wait until later in the winter to fix it, when nothing else is going on. I have a nice warm shop to do it in..... Your leak is probably the fuel sending unit gasket, just like all the rest of them has been. Ron

    Bx1800/2200 fuel sender leak fix

    Looks to me from the kubota parts book that you can fix the fuel sender leak by just taking the left fender an roll bar off, an not the whole floor pan. If so, it doesn't look to be that big of a job. Anybody know if this is the case or not?
