Keith, It was powering an office trailer/bunkhouse. 120v via a 50amp RV receptacle. The trailer has a hardwired EMS/surge guard with a very accurate digital readout of cycles, voltage and amp draw. Think electric heaters, microwave, coffee pot, fridge,TV, DISH receiver etc. plus a bank of...

Whoops! Can you tell I flunked math? ;) It was showing a amp load of 25-34 amps during this period. Would that be consistent with the 85% plus load rating?

I think the day tank is 6.5 gallons which would equate to .05gal/hour. That fuel consumption figure is consistent with published facts.

I have a defective AUX fuel solenoid and a new replacement in a box. Once I find time to replace that we will go the AUX fuel source route . I can really appreciate the simplicity and ease of that setup MORE now. BTW, the oilfield unit that went down was a 12.5kw Perkins unit with 8k plus...

It is sitting in an M101A2 with the top on. It is way toooooo loud to get inside with the unit running. I also check oil levels and for any leaks while it is shut off.

Thanks guys! Light pressure on the control lever induced the solenoid to operate properly. The entire linkage does need a general cleaning. In the meantime, it is out there chigging away doing what generators do best. I appreciate the help.

I have been using my MEP 002A heavily for the last 3 days due to a primary genset failure. I am offgrid at an oil field. Yesterday evening, I needed to refuel the MEP 002A and it seemed to wind down slowly when the master switch was set to off. Just a few minutes ago, I needed to refuel...

I get no reading (infinity) on any of the 3 pins on the solenoid.

Yes, When both are connected the breaker trips. If you disconnect the AUX pump power lead with the other two connected, the breaker trips. The pump does run. If you disconnect ONLY the float switch connector, the breaker does NOT trip. If you disconnect ONLY the AUX fuel solenoid, the...

Any additional ideas on tracing down this electrical gremlin? Sure would appreciate it.

Anyone know how I can check the AUX fuel solenoid to see if it is bad? That seems to be the next logical step.

The AUX fuel pump looks to have been replaced at some point with a Facet brand pump. The two wires going into the AUX solenoid were twisted together and wrapped with electrical tape instead of being properly spliced. Whoever did this replacement also reversed the two wires. I now have the...

FWIW, I just tested both switches for continuity per TM 5-6115-584-12 and they both test good

2 of the 3 pins have readings in the 12-1300 range. The third pin is nada I put the original float switch back in and none of the pins have a reading

I have been working on a low hour MEP 002A trying to get the various small problems resolved. The latest thing to pop up is a seeming problem with the fuel level float switch. Whenever the master switch is placed in the RUN/AUX position, the breaker on the panel pops. I replaced the float...
