    Picking up an MEP-803A from an Army depot

    Unbelievable. Our tax money at work. I will hold my actual thoughts on your plight Demoh... but that sucks you had to go through that.

    Fuel storage and fuel transfer

    HHO is basically off road diesel, with the addition of kerosene for low temperature anti-gelling characteristics. You should be able to run it just fine, but make sure you add something for lubricity (be heavy handed with it, as kero is tough on fuel components) to your day tank, every time its...

    Wire type

    How many feet do you need? I think thats a reasonable figure for the kind of wire it is. You will certainly find wire cheaper, but it wont be as nice. Unless you are completely rewiring a machine inch for inch, thats a real good price for repair work to me. Plus it will LOOK right. Ive used...

    Fuel storage and fuel transfer

    My 500g underground propane tank was $1700 if memory serves, without trenching and all other work. A home heating oil tank with legs is about $800, and can be readily filled by any oil supplier with #2, so while a little bit more expensive than drums with secondary containment, it makes...

    Fuel storage and fuel transfer

    Oh, and I used said drum to fill other drums. That way once all are full, I pretty much just have (1) jockey drum that I rotate through. If I had a little bit more money when first starting it all up, I probably would have just bought a 275g home heating oil tank and been done with it.

    Fuel storage and fuel transfer

    I strap a 55g drum to a pallet, put in my truck, and go to the local gas station and fill it up. No problems yet...

    MEP-802a just reached 17,000 hours

    well with the 802, he should be running about .6gph, so run the math that way.

    MEP-802a just reached 17,000 hours

    If he does end up going solar, and its 24V system (will probably be 48v, as I hear thats the 'newest tech'), he would be well served to get a 28v DC BAPU so he can directly charge his banks without needing an inverter!

    Talk about some expensive power! But I understand the economics of bringing grid power in, and how this is a better solution for some folks.

    MEP003A wont stay running

    Do the pumps you have match the original number that Chainbreaker called out (with inline EMI filter), or were they changed to something else before you got it?

    MEP003A wont stay running

    You aren't going to find exact fuel line material off the shelf, as you find on the 00x sets. You will need to make something up with equivalent sized modern hose and civilian fittings (they are AN-5, so you will need to source or have made a line with JIC 5/16 fittings).
