    55 gal fuel storage drum preparation?

    Long term? If couple years there is some anti bio conditioner that can be added. Every so often suck any water off the bottom. It will last almost forever. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    I bought a "Not operationally checked" MEP-803A what can I expect?

    Sometimes as things break around here I think of it as a large pile of scrap iron. But as I work through it and get things settled out in the end I am rather proud of what was accomplished. Guyfang is right if the general population thought "as is where is" surplus equipment was simple they all...

    I bought a "Not operationally checked" MEP-803A what can I expect?

    Still reading through this thread and I have to ask. The Gensets in Germany appear to be garage kept. The paint is like new. The 3132526 must have recently reset. Guyfang do you know why these look so good? Several in the background look to be the same shape. Also does anyone know just what...

    I bought a "Not operationally checked" MEP-803A what can I expect?

    Looks good to me also. I just bought a 802 for $1550.00 at PA. 803s are several hundred more in value. Good luck. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    New to Our Family M998

    I live in Maryland and what is the MVAs opinion on title and tagging. I'm know there are ones you can and ones you can't. Any ideas? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    M116A3 Fix-up & Conversion Thread

    Alright I have to ask. The military has the control panel facing forwards on all that I looked at on GovPlanet and yours is facing back. Was that intentional for the fuel tank or another reason. Also is that a generator specific tarp (tan) you have or did you make it? I have a camo gen set (see...

    MEP 802A / 803A Gov Auctions

    That is the best option for a person that is unfamiliar with any military equipment. There is a definite rolling of the dice when purchasing at auction. I have both won and loss at auction. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    MEP 802A / 803A Gov Auctions

    Bidders need to look closely to the pictures and videos for the condition of the units. One thing I look for is at the point of starting the hertz gauge will go to 60 cycles if the gen is making power. Not a sure thing but one thing to look for.

    MEP Drawing restoration

    Now I am a new owner of a 802a this diagram is great. I will have to put on my electrical hat and study in a quite room. Hopefully I will never need it (meaning my gen will keep on generating) but this will surly be an asset to my troubleshooting. Thanks for all that put this together.

    MEP 802A / 803A Gov Auctions

    Quiz for today. Just how many 802 or 803 gensets do you think is or was in service over the past years. I have no idea just how many there are. Local yard near me also had quite a few 802/803 units.

    GovPlanet Chambersburg, PA

    Did a load out today at Chambersburg. The GovPlanet load operator was a good guy. He even brought it out with the loader and set it right down on my hook. I brought the correct pintle hitch with chains on a 5kw gen set with trailer. Did not have lights since my truck tail lights were clear to...

    POE/Mineral compressor oil

    Would the ethanol in reg unleaded pull the water out and participate to the bottom? Or do you know something I'm not thinking about. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    POE/Mineral compressor oil

    Thanks the oil actually is new. Where I do HVAC work the supervisor didn't want to chance it since it was not known how old it was. Still in the metal 5 gal pals. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    50/50 crude oil mix

    Not to get political but I would think the 144000 illegal immigrants we feed, house, Medicare would be a bigger concern for our Feds. Keep with safe practices and do the testing. During ww2 the government tested burning wood smoke to run vehicles. With success. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Alternative fuels in modern engines

    Has anyone researched if the modern engines know if the fuel is ULSulphur or old sulphur fuel will pass the sniffers? Looking for info not guesses since all modern vehicles have ultra low fuel stickers everywhere. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
