I HAVE A BX2370 THAT HAS A STOPPED-UP FUEL TANK TO GET ME BY UNTIL I CAN PULL THE TANK I HAVE STARTED USING A AUXILARY TANK AND A AUX. PUMP (THE EXACT SAME PUMP THE TRACTOR HAS ON IT) SINCE THEN IT RUNS AND PERFORMS PERFECTLY BUT WITH ONE EXEPTION IT USES EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF FUEL NOW, LIKE 3 GALLONS IN TWENTY MINUTES OF MOWING AND I HAVE FOUND NO LEAKS. PLEASE DOES ANYONE HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS ?

STOP YELLING!!!! 
Probably good place to start is how did you plumb the new tank?
Not knowing how you have the auxiliary tank set up, I'm only guessing you're flooding the engine with fuel, or it's being sent back to the stock tank via the return lines on the injectors.
Does it smoke while it's running? If so, what color is the smoke?
Another possibility is the Injection Pump seal is failing and allowing fuel to get into the block.
Best to check the motor oil level.
Just a couple places to start.

They are correct, your return fuel flow is going into your tractor fuel tank. It will not be long before the tractor tank is full and fuel will be pushed out through the vent on the fuel cap or it will push a fitting out of the tank dumping your fuel on the ground.

Mickey,
Welcome to the forum
As mentioned - typing in all caps is a no-no, hard to read and typically means you are yelling at the reader.
They have given you great advice - describe what is going on and more help will come.
SORRYT FOR THE CAPS - THEY ARE FOR ME I HAVE VISION ISSUES AND IT HELPS ME READ
AS FOR HOW I PLUMBED THE TANK I TAPPED INTO THE LINE AT THE FRONT FILTER RIGHT BEFORE THE INJECTORS WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY FUEL RETURN LINE OR WHERE IT WOULD BE BUT I WILL CHECK THE OIL AND STOCK TANK FOR FUELAS WELL

Type all caps if you need to…doesn’t bother us in the least. Don’t know why some think it’s yelling…some kind of immature psychological problem?
YOU KNOW IT’S FUNNY, BUT I DIDN’T NOTICE THE ALL CAPS UNTIL SOMEBODY MENTIONED IT.
I’M REPLYING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THE OP MENTIONED HE HAS A VISION ISSUE.
LIKE MOST OF US I IMAGINE, THE ALL CAPS IS NOT AN ISSUE IN MICKEYG’S CASE FOR SURE!

All caps has been 'yelling' since the BBS 300 baud modem dayze.......
BTW if you hold the Ctrl key down and rotate the mouse scroll wheel forward, all the text on the screen will increase in size

That is cool as ice cream in August, didn't know that. Thank you, now I can see maps better.
doesn't work for me.
I am holding down ctrl and twisting this ruddy mouse and all i get is:
- a squealing mouse thats pissing all over my laptop
- a cat thats going crazing hoping I chuck it the mouse when I am done
- a wife yelling at me to get the dam mouse out of the house
Another method: use ctrl and the + key to increase text size, use ctrl and - to decrease. Depending upon your settings and browser, this will be remembered for the websites where you change text display size.

hmm, I use Mozilla Firefox for my Internet browser and Thunderbird for emails, as they are rock solid stable unlike MS products with a zillion hooks in them. Can't run Chrome either due to security issues.
I do run eXcel stand alone on this windows 10 PC, something 'they' say can't be done.

Jay,
I also use Firefox and most of the time my HP Z820 and Z840 workstations are running Linux (they both came dual boot with Red Hat Linux as ordered). If Canon and Adobe were to port their image processing software over to Linux, I would dump windows forever but the photo processing software is too resource intensive to run properly in any compatibility box.
And I used to be a Microsoft fan since consulting work for them during the dot com boom paid for my retirement at 55 but a good operating system is like a good waiter in a fine restaurant, it is there when needed doing its job but never calls attention to itself. Windows after version 7 is like a 3 year old with ADHD always causing commotion and determined to be the center of attention...

The last windows I really liked was 98SE where I had control over the REAL comports and QB45 ran flawlessly. Cut a lot of code back then, retired at 35..yeesh 1/2 my lifetime ago....
Who uses a mouse with a wheel these days…?? IPADs forever! Since Windows 10….. MS can go to Hades.
