bobcat t190 fuel tank

has anyone ever had to replace a fuel tank on a bobcat t190. wonder about price. or is there any hoses near the bottom of the tank. have a leak somewhere near the bottom.

You have to pull the engine and hyd pump frame to change or repair fuel tank because it's underneath the engine. The tank is polyethylene (plastic), common problem is small pebbles get lodged between belly of machine and the fuel tank. Over time vibration causes pebbles/stones to wear a hole in the tank. I've also seen hyd hoses on top side of tank rub holes in the tank from running vibration. It's about a 10 to 14 hr job to pull engine and replace tank for an experienced wrench.

Make sure your leak isn't coming from something on the topside before you commit to replacing tank, even though it's not easy to check fuel hoses and tank condition on top side, just can't get to nothing on those things.

probably let bobcat of erie sort that out. it normally drains down to the red on the gauge. this is all recent within two months anyway. when it rains it pours. thanks buddy your very helpful and fast with replies. i posted one more about the fuse. appreciate all the help

Yep, sadly, that's one of the designs of Bobcat I'm not particularly fond of, fuel tank under engine. Likewise, owners aren't all that thrilled about it either. Oh well, we don't build them. I can't remember for sure, but I don't think the tank is terribly expensive, just the labor to replace the damn thing!

check the drain plug on the bottom of the fuel tank should be a plate on the bottom of the machine take it off and see it the plug is leaking.
