Pony Fuel line Help!

Depending on the model the factory shut off valve on the pony clutch side also contains the fuel filter element. No reason you can't plumb a more direct route if you don't mind the inconvenience or the advantage of a double shut off if there is one at the tank also.

Jf,I was thinking the same thing.I am going to reroute mind.

Great! thats the answer I was hoping for old magnet. I appreciate your input.

The fuel shut off on some of the CAT 12 graders, like the 70D, with a pony motor were in the cab so you should be able to put them anywhere. I would panic if I didn't see one in the usual place though. I have never used the mag switch to kill the pony and don't know for sure if it works. I have never liked Cat's gas filters but my biggest problem was getting the gas out of the tank.
Good luck.

When I got my D4, someone along the way had already junked the original valve and lines and put a cheesy shutoff valve in the line. I cleaned the tank by dumping some nuts in and shaking it well, then blowing it out. Rebuilt the carburetor and put in a ball valve for shutoff, followed by a throwaway fuel filter and new hoses. It's a bit of a pain to have to walk around the critter to shut the fuel off but I just haven't gotten around to running a rod across the engine so's I could shut it off from the control side.

No fuel problems since. .other than having forgotten to fill the tank once. .😄
