I've been following all this, and (maybe I missed it somewhere) would like to know for clarity, does the pick-up tube extend all the way to the bottom of the tank? A quick check would be to bypass the factory pick-up line with a different hose through the filler which extends down to the bottom of the tank and without adding any fuel, see if the engine starts. If it does, then you definitely have a hole

Also what kind of fuel delivery system do they have? Not knowing the layout of these machines I can only guess... more info would help.

I have a 2010 Diesel OX, mine would run out of fuel after it burned 4.5 gals. The gauge would show above 1/2 a tank but it would quit until more fuel was added. Matt sent me a new pickup that I had to remove the fuel gauge sending unit to install which means my fuel gauge no longer works. Once I installed the new pickup I could run it all the way to empty. So it would appear that it is a pickup issue. I tried loosing the cap to make sure it was venting, that was not the problem. I'm in Alaska and Matt mentioned that there were others with the same issue. Rich has informed me that a new tank is on the way. I will remove the new pickup and send it to Rich and Mark once I get my replacement tank for other to use to test their machines.

hi all I am not a real experienced diesel guy but I run equipment with diesels and a lot of them have a fuel line installed with a squeeze bulb like a boat fuel line not sure if it would help or not
