    Fuel Fliter Cartridge Gaskets 803a

    2pbfeet, that's my thinking too about those two gaskets, I have a green viton o-ring that I am using and it seems to work fine, I'll give it some run time and check it to see if it's holding up to the fuel. I checked the website for everything truck parts and they have the gasket set for $ 4.77...

    Mep-803a water pump and stuck all the way to left fuel gauge

    I had my fuel gauge stuck on empty as well, I removed the gauge and check the connections those were good, I loosened the nuts on the gauge and tapped it in my hand and came unstuck off empty. I replaced the fuel sender with a Wema 8.5" and that length is just right, i believe if it was any...

    Fuel Fliter Cartridge Gaskets 803a

    Just a little follow up, I can not find those fuel filter gaskets anywhere (Wix 15398 gasket kit) , the parts house don't cross reference them and nobody can order them. I would like to change my reused one on the filter that I have but I guess that will have to wait till the next filter...

    Fuel Fliter Cartridge Gaskets 803a

    Uniquify, that is exactly what I needed, thanks for the info! I purchased the dash 202 washers for the bottom of the fuel bowl and it seals well, so if anybody needs some I have plenty (came in a pack of 100). I'll get these ordered, I operate off of 2 is 1 and 1 is none.

    G-17 thread sizes

    Getting ready to plumb a 8135 pump and I need to know the size of both ends a the G-17 filter to connect it to the pump. I don't do this type of plumbing with NPT, Jic, and NPSF fittings often so I have a learning curve. Also will teflon tape be good for diesel fuel? Thanks

    Fuel Fliter Cartridge Gaskets 803a

    2Pbfeet, That's a great idea! I'm going to pull it out and do that, probably the best and fastest way to get it done right!

    Fuel Fliter Cartridge Gaskets 803a

    The thick wide inner gasket/washer between the filter and the housing is the one I need, it didn't come with the the Wix filter I used. I've been looking for the thick washer but no luck, I may have to pull the used one out of my housing to measure it to see what I can come up with. It looks...

    Fuel Fliter Cartridge Gaskets 803a

    It seemed like it was a flat washer but I'll get some of those Dash o-rings for the next filter change. For the filter bowl I checked for a manufacturer stamp but couldn't find one so now I'm stuck on that bushing.

    Fuel Fliter Cartridge Gaskets 803a

    Does anybody have a source for the canister fuel filter gaskets? Changed the canister gasket and the Wix filter only came with the top outer bowl gasket, I reused the gasket for the top of the filter. Also is there a gasket for the bottom of the fuel bowl where the bolt goes through.

    Thanks Ray70, I left that spacer on so if it distorts in the future I should be good!

    Wema Fuel Sender For mep 803a

    Follow up on the Wema fuel sender, I put in the 8.5 version and put a plastic spacer on the bottom of the sender, after I got it in I don't think it needed it maybe it's needed for an 802. My Beede fuel gauge was pegged all the way over to passed empty and stuck so I took it out and loosened the...

    Hurricane Beryl and Mep 803

    Hurricane Beryl was a wind event so the power lines were hit with downed trees, Harvey was a flooding event, when we had the freeze or power generation is set up for hot weather so that freeze kicked our ass. I have a 250 gallon above ground tank that I use for tractors and mowers.

    Wema Fuel Sender For mep 803a

    I am going to clean out my fuel tank because the tube with the screen filter is rusted. I want to replace the fuel sender with the Wema style sender, I thought I saw a thread on the part number to do this but I can only find the info fro an 802. If anyone has done this do you have the part...

    Hurricane Beryl and Mep 803

    Just did 4 days with power outage from the hurricane and my 803 did perfect, best thing I ever did was installing an EasyStart on my A/C unit, it brought the starting amps for the A/C down to 26 amps. The 803 used about 3/4 gallon an hour I ran everything including the well, I didn't use the...

    First real use of Mep-803 | Praises and problems (albeit little)

    Was it break-in oil from a reset? Glad it made it through the outage, Hook'em

    Fuel Solenoid

    Ok, so checked the TM and there was a really good picture of how it goes back together, there is not enough thread to put a locking bolt on the back so I guess I'll use some lock-tite so it doesn't back out!
