Have fun in the storm everyone. Looking somewhere 10-18" up here.

No ingress there... just for air ducting. Bastard would need to have drill bits for teeth to get into the machine from there.

I use 1/4" hardware cloth on the underside, with self tapping sheet metal screws. If you want to bullet proof it, do the air intakes on the sides, and figure out how to delete the 'sock' at the wire entrance with something that a rodent cant climb/chew through.

Did you swap out both inline fuel filters and clean the separator? Might be a dumb question.

I recall seeing someone post a video a few months back on the 'how to' of disassembling the fuel rack/metering pumps. Anyone got a link to it? Thanks

Bump... I remember seeing someone post a video about how to disassemble the metering pumps on these sets. Can anyone provide that link here?

Have you asked Delks if they have anything?

If you are running light loads, its a good idea to put seafoam into your fuel when you do burn it hot. Helps kick the rest of the crud out of the system.

For as complex as these machines are, when you really start looking at each part and how they work... its not as daunting as one might think. Guy has got you on the road to success with this issue.

If you want to go with the OEM style, SS user Suprman sells them on ebay here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MILITARY-MEP-802A-803A-804A-DIESEL-GENERATOR-FUEL-TANK-DRAIN-NITRILE-WELL-NUT/224013193011?hash=item34283a0f33:g:-nYAAOSw9IdewIXl

Thanks chaps. Happy to stuff one in a box for UPS/FEDEX delivery if you were interested Denvercaitland. They can be seen in the Steel Soldiers classifieds here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-803-813a-replacement-door-starter-side-88-20078.196472/ The pictures are older... they show...

Pricing as of August 2020, direct from Quantum 1- 10 pieces. $100.00 ea

If I were building a DC generator it would probably involve an old school Lister Petter air cooled engine, and a discrete DC alternator tied together either by chain drive or belt. But there are way more knowledgeable folks on the topic. Thats just something Ive considered doing over the years.

Emergency use only sticker = not good for long term use

Maybe you should ask @Suprman if these cables will work here... or at least to get better markings off them for you. Price is certanly right if so...

Those L0-3 should be the metal lugs you would energize to send power out of the machine.

If you pick up the freight via usps I'll just toss the couple dead pumps in a box and you can sort through them at your leisure. They will be complete, less mesh strainer.

I have a couple inop 002/003 pumps here.. what are you looking for?
