Hope I'm posting in the right place, this is my first time... I have a 14 month old NH 3010S that has started leaking fuel from the tank. It appears to be coming from behind the bands that secure the tank. The only way I see this happening is if the bands rubbed a hole in the tank. Before I start ripping things apart has anyone heard of this problem or have any ideas?
Thanks
Ken

Most diesels have return lines that run to tank and connect fairly high on the tank. If the tractor has such a thing, you might check the connection at the tank. Fuel from a leak high on the tank might run down along the bands.

I haven't heard of anything specific to your tractor but there are discussions about repairing fuel tank leaks here and there.

It's not that it can't be but I'd be doing some real studing of the leak before I'd jump on that thought. They also will stop the fuel from going any further down the top side of the tank. ....

Thanks for the response. I called the dealer today and he
informed me that I had a two year warranty. :) So, I'll let
them figure it out.
Thanks again.
