Howdy,
OK, A MEP-802A mounted on a LTT-TQG trailer Tan.
Not all paints are equal. But for touch-up places, this sure does blend well.

MEP-802A/803A wet stack information.
sample MEP-802A wet stacking
A lot of the military units are run lightly loaded, or simply not loaded. They might even be started and run for a hour or two every other month. Whatever the situation, the above picture shows a case of wet stacking...
Howdy,

Hook-ups to your towing vehicle will vary.
Howdy,
There are 3 gauges which can have the inside lit.
Your fuel level, coolant temp, oil pressure gauges.
I simply made a jumper wire from the pos+ post from the panel lights over to the open 1/4 blades on each of the gauges.
Now they light up when I flip on my panel light switch. :)
MEP-802/803 fuel pump
Howdy,
The 800 series TQG has 2 different fuel pumps. The older style is a square Facet electric fuel pump. The newer style is a round Airtex E1074 fuel pump. This is the primary pump location item. A lot of the units already have these mounted, or have been replaced with...
Howdy,
For conversation sake, this thread really is for talking, moaning, and bitching about generators for Feb 2016.
Prices are on the rise. I do not know the reason behind it, but the surplus units keep rising dramatically. Even then add on the GL 12.5% fee, or the GP 10% fee, with the...
Howdy,
I wonder if the auction companies will get the idea that the reserves are way to high.
Point in fact= GL closed out almost all MEP-803A generators with only 4 making reserve, out of 40 lots across America.
We had MEP-003 10kw
then we had MEP-803A 10kw
we now have MEP-1040 10kw

Howdy,
Does anyone have any mounting location ideas for a 24VPSC PulseTech Solar Charger?
Yes, I know how to mount it. I am looking for some ideas of oops, I should have mounted it in the middle, or I should mount it more to the left side, I should have put more silicone underneath, etc...
Howdy,
I noticed nobody has mentioned anything about break-in oil.
My MEP-802A had 14 hours on the meter (3/07 unit) so it really has been sitting a while. But with so low hours, I wanted to change the oil and all the filters. I put in break-in oil. Sometimes the meters are not true, but in...
Howdy,
Looking for some confirmation about what should the exhaust manifold temps be? MEP-803A, the inner 2 ports are obviously higher than the outer ports. What is your sustained temp? In example, running at least 30 minutes with a load of 50% or greater, what temp do you have for the...

Howdy,
Essex Electro Engineers A427 Load Bank
It was made around 1970. 0-33kw coverage, single and 3 phase. 3kw, 6kw, 9kw, 12kw switches in any combo, and a 0-3kw variable turn knob. It really makes thing easier to keep a generator in shape.
The MEP-803A can really pull some power. It...
