    Mep-803a coolant water coming out of drain hose while running

    If it didnt shut down from coolant overtemp or was smoking and making noise, you should be fine. The drain valves on these don't drain out all that quickly. Just make sure you top the system off till it wont take any more, then run for a bit, and top off again. The blocks can sometimes be air...

    Generator Costs - Actuals

    Probably because of the volume in which trailer mounted sets were purchased. While its MORE equipment, that was probably the standard outfit (due to weight and logistics of actually moving said equipment). The NSN for the genset alone probably had little sales activity, and the companies bidding...

    Mep-803a Diesel leak

    Ive had good luck using a nut runner on my screw gun, and hold the canister body up and tight until the bolt seats, then just finish with a socket wrench. The twisting of the can body can sometimes distort the gasket.

    Mep-803a coolant water coming out of drain hose while running

    Have you confirmed the petcock valve on the engine block (follow that drip line up to the front of the engine with your hand, below the water pump) is fully closed?

    803 fuel filler rubber gasket

    I know this is an older post (bumped for the Fernco info) but hoses are available in the classifieds readily. Or at least till the batch I ran runs out, doubtful I will run again.

    Mep-803a Diesel leak

    You will want to check the sealing edge of the filter canister too.. if it has any burs, distortions, or tweaks of any kind... its never going to seal right again. Ask me how I know. Do you have the internal spring, and sealing washers in place on the bolt as well? They are available new on the...

    MEP-831a Recommendation for spares kit contents

    The MEP-831A is not the most robust platform in the MEP series, so just a bad joke on my part I guess. I am sure those more well versed in this particular machine will swing by with their two cents... but you are on the right track. Fuel pump, all filters, fluids, etc. Relays, gauges, a way to...

    Fuel Leak help

    I don't know if you ever changed out the stock seperator or not, but if you haven't... your life will be easier with the roof panels off (as you need to remove the side panel near it, to get good access to use a chain wrench to remove the bastard). I would personally change out the larger...

    Fuel Leak help

    Take the roof panel off above the engine. You see the hard fuel line that goes from the fuel fitler bowl, to the metering pumps near the pushrod tubes? At the left hand end of that, is the soft 'fuel return' line. You probably have a leak in this line, either at one of the Ts at the injectors...

    New guy from NW Florida MEP002a questions

    If you find out that pump is functional, I'd part it out based on what you paid (starting with that pump!).

    MEP1040 fuel tank sender?

    If Joe Biden can be voted into the highest office in the land, an Etch-A-Sketch website company can sell to the government. 2023, baby.

    MEP1040 fuel tank sender?

    These folks are listed as one of the OEMs, along with Onan (so its probably whose actually making it). http://www.centroidproducts.com/ Their part number is C-A054F059

    New guy from NW Florida MEP002a questions

    I think this is a bad description... you might want to reach out to these folks: https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/10032/10-KW-Exhaust-Muffer-Generator-400HZ-MEP-813A Looks like the same Onan muffler for the 00X series, not an 813A.
