Howdy, Things to remember. When looking for parts ONAN DN2M and DN4M all use the same parts (2 cyl and 4 cyl) Lister-Petter LPW2 and LPW4 is the same engine. The engines have been around for years. MAYI Diesel has been my go to for parts.

Howdy, You need to hire a electrician.

Howdy, Slow down a minute. What kind of soak? How long of a soak? Many members here have found ways. Give it some time. Some have left ATF in the cylinders for days. ATF fluid? Have you drained the oil? What was the oil like? was it oil? was it milkshake? was it water? Take the simple approach...

Howdy, Proper usage, inspection, and testing a tank so you do not have problems. Condensation water is a problem. A free standing tank has numerous access ports. As having a WATER drain at the bottom for draining off water. The same reason the water/fuel filter has a drain at the bottom for...

Howdy, Look all over the generator. You might see a stencil saying CARC and a month/year.

Howdy, NOTE, Your genset is probably painted with CARC 383. CARC is not a breathing lungs friend. Proper care is to be taken with sand blasting, removal. Read up on CARC paint. That is why all the rattle cans, and gallons all say 383 CARC substitute.

Howdy, For those which have not had a lot of experience with Diesel. Diesel is a fuel oil. (Off-Road, Home Heating Oil, Un-Taxed Diesel fuel has a RED dye) standard Taxed Diesel is a greenish tinge. Your preferred choice is 100% Diesel. Water sinks to the bottom. Fuel pickups in tanks should...

Howdy, Just stop! If you do not understand 3 phase, do not go there. In a large industrial, big machines run on 3 phase. There is other equipment out these which runs on 3 phase. If you do not have any 3 phase pieces of equipment, you do NOT use 3 phase on your generator. power out of the...

Howdy, Treat the off grid shop like a normal electric supply. Select a service panel and wire all your plugs and lights like normal. This way, if you ever get a mains power, your good to go. Your generator is operating as the power supply, off grid, but panel is wired properly, you would...

Howdy, Start in this thread. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-802a-mep-803a-filters-and-parts.186068/ The 2nd post has quick links to lots of stuff. The 3rd post has links to the manuals here.

Howdy, Remember, the A3816 nitrile wellnut is tightened to 40 INCH-lbs. Just make sure you have the little rubber gasket ring in place when putting the canister filter assembly back together. NOTE: after changing both fuel filters.... turn unit on to prime & run for a long while to fill the...

Howdy, You are very limited with what you can do. The absolute best would be a transfer switch between the meter and your panels. Here are some other methods. Generator connection choices | SteelSoldiers

Howdy, Don't try to re-invent the wheel. Start here in this thread. MEP-802A MEP-803A Filters and Parts | SteelSoldiers The 2nd post has quick links to all that you need to know. If you go with the well nuts, only use the proper nitrile rubber. Pay attention to tightening spec.

Howdy, A flush always include flushing thoroughly multiple times. Re filling trick too. When putting in good coolant, fill it up, hit the dead crank some, and fill it more, hit the dead crank some, and fill some more. I also find tilting the entire unit over some to make it easier to fill fully.

Any gasket sets (They also call them Joint Sets) Look for Lister-Petter or Onan or Cummins LPW2 / DN2M The engine design has been around for many years now.

Howdy, Sure, with a 22kw generator in place. For a MEP-803A 10kw, not so much. Cost prohibitive. Each shedding breaker is not cheap. You will have to widdle your entire panel down to 10kw. A generator break out box with only the necessary breakers could be done. Have you priced out a 200 amp...

Howdy, So far, by what you have stated. You are way in over your head. You do not want to use a ATS with a 200 amp service and a MEP-803A generator. ATS = automatic transfer switch By standards, you would need a generator to fully support your 200 amp panel. That means a 200 amp output. Load...

Howdy, Turn the S1 to prime and let it sit 3 minutes, then start.

Howdy, Do NOT bury a tank. The liability is not worth it. You would need to be permitted, have a escrow bond, a double wall tank engineered, a containment barrier, and probably a yearly fee. When you are done, you will then have to take it out, and test, and submit to then get your bond back.
