Why does my semi truck lose power going uphill?
Even if there is enough fuel in the tank, there can be other problems related to fuel that prevent your tractor from having enough power when going uphill. One example is a clogged fuel filter. The engine won’t work properly without pure fuel going into it. Fuel filters need to be changed at regular intervals.
How do you accelerate uphill?

Remember to drive slower in slippery conditions. Avoid pressing the accelerator hard and abruptly, especially if the road is wet or icy.
Why does my car lose power going uphill?

Anything that restricts fuel from entering the cylinder will cause a loss of power if the engine requires more fuel than is injected. Clogged fuel injectors create a cascade of problems. Deposits can build up on the injectors over time from heat soak or poor fuel.
What causes a car to run lean on a hill?
If the fuel filter is not changed for a long time, eventually the particles and sediment from the gas tank will build up and clog the filter, restricting fuel flow. If the flow of fuel is restricted too much, not enough will be able to reach the fuel injectors and the car is likely to run lean.
Why does my riding mower not go up hills?
It works fine on the level but won’t pull me up hills anymore. I replaced the drive belt and followed the directions to adjust the brake/clutch lever. Still doesn’t work. Any suggestions? When it stalls on the hill is the engine still running full speed, or does it stall? Does it make any odd noises?
