BX2370 Mowing the field ,engine died,disconnected the fuel line at injector pump and finally got fuel ,ran for a few hours and died again . thought the fuel pump was going bad. Replaced the fuel pump and it ran fine for a few hours and died again. blew the fuel lines out and got fuel, ran fine for a few more hours then died again. Replaced with another fuel pump and ran fine for another hour and died again. i can hear the fuel pump running but no fuel at injector pump . any ideas ? Fuel filters have been recently changed.

Check the fuel tank for blockage? You are missing suction somewhere.
Go back to the tank outlet line before the first filter and see if there’s good flow there. If so then move past first filter and check the flow. Go all the way to your injection pump if needed to see where the flow is insufficient. You can also start at the injection pump end, either way works.

If you have a plastic tank you may have some biological agents growing in the tank and plugging up the flow path. If you have a steel tank it could be rust inside the tank plugging up the flow path. It could also be some bug or plastic or something similar that covers the tank outlet

Your symptoms sound most likely to be something in the tank but it could be anywhere
