Hi guys,
We just picked up some MEP-531 gens from GL out at Ft. Riley that had been fairly severely pilfered. It looks like I’ll be able to get probably 2 out of 4 of them back in operable condition. The price was fair enough, so I cannot much complain. The other pair look as though the engines will likely be fine but I’m short on control panels so, as they stand, they are not going to be very useful since I doubt anyone has complete MEP-531 control panels anywhere.
So here’s my question. I have seen these little Yanmar diesels adapted over to run other previously gas gens such as the MEP-015 1.5 Kw units. Does anyone know of or ever better happen to have the Tb on how to officially accomplish this modification? If not that, does anyone have a modified unit? We do have some MEP-15 and MEP-025 units in use for East Wind and I would not mind modifying them by removing the much maligned 2A016 gas engines and replacing them with Diesels.
Thanks
