I have been having a fuel flow issue where it stalls out my tractor. I replaced all the fuel lines (supply and return). It helped but it still stalls just not as much I drained the tank. I have bleed the lines. I can see in the fuel filter bowl that it is not full of fuel when it stalls. any suggestions on where my problem may be. I only have 300 hours on it and I am in Texas

thanks

Sounds like there's still something blocking the fuel outlet at the tank. Try loosening the fuel cap and see what happens --- it's vented but the vent hole may be blocked/plugged.

I had the same problems with my 2800. Turns out I got some bad orings when I changed out my fuel filter. Go get some new orings for the fuel filter (two of them --one small for the intake and one large for the filter bowl) (Methinks they had some orings made of material that did not hold up well to the low sulphur fuel). In the end, your fuel bowl should fill itself by gravity from the tank. If you still have problems, try using compressed air to blow out the return line to the tank.
