I feel the fueling system on the 80x series is a better design. More complex, yes... but the IP on those older units can be problematic. The metering pumps on the 80x series I prefer. Keep on top of either though, and they should be there when you need them.
YMMV
Im used to extra charges these days unfortunately, valid or not. Thanks for the info... hopefully I can actually catch Chris on the phone at some point.
Won a palletized item, and the address comes back to seemingly a junk yard on a dirt road... not even sure its correct, or that a tractor trailer can be sent into retrieve my item.

Because hour meters can be changed (with no documentation required)... they should only be used as a piece of your decision making. Ive seen hours be rated as an equivalent of anywhere between 25 and 60 miles in OTR equipment.
In a chart provided by Green Mountain Generators, they list a MTBF...

The second gen is the MEP-802/803 style. First gen were all air cooled (MEP-002/003, etc).
The second gen is not a 'digital' machine... its an advanced analog machine, if I were to use such descriptions. There are no computers. Each generation has its quirks/flaws. The 80x series are...
There are a lot of features that make those sets nice... not everyone thinks about equipment the same way I do. Same reason you wont find some folks buying XL trim trucks, but only Platinum, etc.
You arent getting better, for the money, than the second gen MEPs... in my opinion.
Because people believe they are better. I disagree. They may be better for military customers, who will have forward looking access to replacement parts through the typical parts networks. Civilians will have a heck of a time getting some new parts for these in the future.
If I can't turn a...
And don't mess with those thicker lines to the lift pumps unless they show signs of leaking. Just buy some 1/4" Gates line for your shelf and if they ever need to be replaced, you have the stuff onhand.
You might find the time it takes to remove the roof and accessories, to take longer than the line replacement. I would just do the entire return at once. Its really not difficult. You will see once you get in there. Never hurts to just buy a spool of the Gates stuff and keep it on the shelf.
In a completely different direction... why not swap the fuel pump to a 12V version, retain a single battery as stock for any lights, etc... and manually actuate the fuel shutoff solenoid by cable? Mount a remote NATO slave plug on the frame with a HD toggle to open and close the circuit for...
