54' John Deere 70 Fuel tank issue - MyTractorForum.com - The Friendliest Tractor Forum and Best Place for Tractor Information

Not sure why but this has been going on for years with this one tractor......after about 10 minutes of running this tractor always develops a tiny drip drip drip around the fuel cap dripping down the side of the hood.

This is the gas version 70 and I know it's from pressure build up in the tank but no matter what I do it continues to do this...I've tried new fuel caps.

I have no leaks on the carb, no leaks in the fuel line, no leaks around the fuel shut off or glass fuel filter. I can unscrew the gas cap and hear the pressure release while its running...but after a few minutes it will start to drip around the fuel cap again.

If the tank is real low it will stop but even with under half a tank it builds enough pressure to start the drip around the fuel cap.
