Air filter element MEP007 genset

[NEIOWA]

I helped a local FD with obtaining a couple 100kw MEP007 genset. Any ideas on finding a cross ref to civ air filter element #?

-24P says part FS code is 30554 = "Project Manager - Mobile Electric Power" So this part may to unit specific/hard to find a cross. Or used by more than one MEP version

Part # 70-1251 which might be a civ # for some mfg. Part is flat filter square in shape. qty 2ea per gen set.

Goggle gives me:

They need about 4ea not the 30ea min.

BTW Also fits a Eagle F-15 Wayne

RE: Filter

I hate to say this but finding a cross for that is going to be impossible... im no genius but I am pretty talented at digging up some very hard to find PN for odd things. Problem is that size filter is not common to any civilian application that I can find on or off road from 3 different filter manufactures.

I would suggest this... yank the current filtration system and install a Donaldson air unit on it... their very reasonable and easy to service. http://www.donaldson.com/en/engine/support/datalibrary/034266.pdf ... The FKB06 would be the size you need...

If that seems to costly to the department hunt down a used air filter housing from a 5 ton, or???... might be a little large but it will bolt on top with no problem. Napa's heavy exhaust system catalog will have any elbows, rubber, tubing and reducers you may need.

Its a few hours work but in the end you will have a easy to service air filter that you don't have to buy 30 or 40 of.

RE: filter

They ended up replacing intake with civ unit. They the project set for months. Recent Iowa tornado/floods w/power outage and the again thing genset a good thing so have a local shop working on it. Have one unit running but need ONE part. ANy help would be appreciated.

Anyone have any advice on locating a "Meter, Frequency and Transducer, Matched Set 6625-00-003-0971? Mounted in the control panel, used to adjust engine speed to correct hz.

Same meter may well be used in all the MEP sets.

RE: filter

P131919 Filter

The original filter for these gen sets is a donaldson P131919, NSN 2940004361362, aka 70-1251, aka 70-4020. these are hard to find as they are deemed military only. You Can get the Donaldson originals at:
Waller Sales Co.
contact: Don Smith
(615)672-7266
they are in TN.
they run about $60 each and they are working on an aftermarket filter that will be cheaper if there is enough demand for it.

hope this helps, I looked for over a week before I tracked any down.

FWIW, this is the same filter in the 004 and 005 generator sets, and probably in the 006 as well. The correct part number is P13-1919 (or P131919). There are some listed on eBay at this time, (not cheap) and I'm sure there are more from time to time.

I know this is an old thread but wanted to give everyone an update that is trying to find these filters. Ive been in contact with Waller Sales and the filter is discontinued. Ive been talking to Christy Waller there and she is doing her best to find a replacement. I will say their customer service is top notch so if you're looking for any kind of filter, give them a call! Ill keep everyone update as to what they find.

While Oshkosh supposedly has them in stock, but at $200 for one, shipped, I wonder if devilman's suggestion above to replace the whole intake assembly makes more practical sense.

This filter fits MEP-004A through MEP-009B sets. I helped someone find a replacement 4-5 years ago? and there IS another company who mike one like it. But for the life of me, I can not remember the Who, Where, What or How, of the deal.

Yesterday, for fun, I tried cross referencing all of the listed manufacturer's part numbers for the NSN above, and the one and only one that I could find was Oshkosh, who were willing to price it and price the shipping. I freely admit that failure to find is not the same as not existing.

However, if memory serves me right, I think I have known Oshkosh in the past to accumulate enough orders to do a run of parts, so I wouldn't bet money on them actually having it in stock. That said, my bottom line would be that a 160cfm 11." square filter with 9.26sq ft of filter and an aluminum frame isn't exactly standard anything these days. If it were me, I would be looking at any form of centrifugal filter that had 160+cfm. Donaldson has a bunch in different sizes and shapes, but so do many other manufacturers...

All the best,

In the early 70's when the MEP-115A came out, we could not get filters. There just wasn't enough in the supply system. We ran 7 gen sets 24 / 7 / 365. So we went through a lot of filters. So we just started washing them with warm soapy water and letting them dry out. Compressed air just ruined them, so we let them dry out all over the missile site. Wasn't fun in winter. We had only cold water, and only one toilet, urinal, sink on the whole site. If the diesel heater did not work in the "Latrine", then the the whole place simply froze up. Never tell me about the "Good Old Days."
