    Kubota Tractor fuel hose issue
    One of three plastic nozzles near the top of the diesel tank broke off. All three nozzles PUSH fuel back in to the tank. I have no idea why. I can close off the hose and it runs fine - but will it hurt anything? The hose is connected to the #1 cylinder injector. Another of the 3 plastc nozzels comes from the #4 cylinder injector. The third one appears to come from the fuel pump. CAN I JUST CAP IT? DO I NEED TO TIE IT IN TO ONE OF THE OTHER HOSES?

    NEW INFO: The problem is not with the hose - it is the nipple that sticks out of the tank. It broke off flush with the tank.

    I would suggest fixing it properly. Replace the hose.

    Good luck bud, I gave you what advice I thought was deemable. Good luck with it. And you may wish to read the site rules. And this is improper usage of the rating system.
    GOOD LUCK!

    GOOD LUCK.

    I apparently don't have near as much time as you do. I may not have read the rules of the site - but you didn't read what the problem was. The hose is fine. Never mind - I got the answer asap from tractorpoint.com
