    MEP-802/803 fuel return improvements

    Oh I know the line (the rear sheet is off my set as we speak). I just didn't know if there was a barb, or if the nut 'captured' the hose, as it is not a high pressure line. Thanks

    MEP-802/803 fuel return improvements

    I don't know if that fitting has a barb. If it does, nothing more I need to do except strip the stock hose off of it and replace.

    MEP-802/803 fuel return improvements

    What should I do about the end of the return line, that goes into the tank? Can I get that fitting somewhere, that has a barb, that I can use hose clamps with? Or maybe a double male end barb, that I could cut the stock line an inch or two back from the OEM fitting, and install with dual duct...

    MEP-802/803 fuel return improvements

    Thanks for this info csheath. Was running my 802 before work this morning, and notice a nice pressurized leak coming out of one of the short fuel lines from the common rail, blasting diesel all over the right hand door. O-Reillys it is on the way home. Thanks again.

    A real nice Army General Mechanic’s Tool Kit

    I don't support HF, but yes someone can absolutely DIY a 'similar' kit for substantially less money.

    A real nice Army General Mechanic’s Tool Kit

    Saw this earlier perusing Linkedin for work (this company is a dealer of our products): https://www.jensentools.com/jensen-tools-gts-14250-a-u-s-army-gmtk/p/gts-14250-a Daddy wants! The kit is over 3 grand though....

    Ok... walk me back from the edge please

    Oh, I knew that Murphy was right behind me all day yesterday. We unfortunately had errands to run with our youngest, so I wasn't in the cards to make sure one of the other sets was operational (and getting to work in the dark and getting home in the dark doesn't leave me any time during the...

    Ok... walk me back from the edge please

    We're good... guess I freaked out prematurely. This set has a bad fuel gauge (as well as oil pressure, and voltage seemingly) so I took the front metal off and pumped the remaining fuel out that wouldn't gravity drain, by return line. I saw part of a fuel float freefloating around, so I at least...

    Ok... walk me back from the edge please

    Going through an 802, and I think this **** set has gasoline in it! None of the alternate military fuels have a similar smell and consistency as gasoline, do they? I am not up on the other variations our forces use. The day tank is currently draining. Whats the most effective way to purge the...

    I wish all defense suppliers were so helpful.

    So you think the MEP-803 is underpowered huh? Well looky here...

    Depending on the conditions of the rims and tires... they alone might be worth more than $750 for the pair! You can sell them to the humvee guys all day long.

    So you think the MEP-803 is underpowered huh? Well looky here...

    Just find a reputable electrician for the wiring portion (while these are 'fancy' machines, the wiring is as straight forward as you could ever hope for). Are you OK with turning this on manually as needed, or do you need to go the auto start route? There is an aftermarket kit to do this, and...

    So you think the MEP-803 is underpowered huh? Well looky here...

    Your wiring should meet your needs. Is your set on a trailer, or is it a power unit only? If power unit only, are you bolting it down to it becomes truly stationary? Are you able to service the machine where it is installed (or will be installed)? The actual WIRE used is irrelevant (its all...

    Any of you chaps pick up at Ft Drum today?

    Yes, those are GP Sets. Paul, the GP OSM confirmed that Samantha no longer works there (his competitor). Good thing too, she was nothing but a problem to deal with, and screwed up royally about 6-8 months ago on a HUGE volume of sets.

    Any of you chaps pick up at Ft Drum today?

    Someone grabbed 3 sets a few minutes before I got mine. Figured it might be someone here.

    Any 30/60kw genset gurus?

    Thoughts about reliability on either rating, Guy?

    Any 30/60kw genset gurus?

    Can someone school me on the difference between the A and B variations of these sizes? Only interested in info pertinent to 60hz too. Thanks :)
