Fuel pump needed

[ramy]

I picked up an MEP-002A 5kw generator recently and have found that it needs at least one fuel pump. The one does not work at all and the other takes over 10 minutes to pump fluid thru all the filters. Anybody know where to get a fuel pump for these?

Try Colemans or Saturn military surplus.

In the past I have bought replacements at a John Deere dealer or a NAPA. Look for facet pumps. http://facet-purolator.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=7&id=14&Itemid=36



Did you untwist the bottom cover and clean/replace the filter in the pump?

The square ones will work also. The thing on the wire is a noise suppressor, you can live without it.

Ebay has a few, search for Facet 24

I'll give Napa a try. Saturn Surplus is out of them, Memphis doesn't have them and other places I found want $250 for them.

If you do find one at nappa, can you post the part number?

OK, I called Facet Purolator in NY. I spoke to a sales guy and he said that the military pumps are available through a Distributor in Cincinnati Ohio. Their name is J and N Auto Electric, 1-800-366-7100.

He said, if you look at the mounting tab where the two bolts that mount it are, there is a number on each side of the tab. These numbers are the part number you need. He said most of the Military pumps are going to be part numbers, 480517 or 477833 or 480509.

One more thought, there is one of the 3 pumps on that unit, that is an auxiliary source pump. You could use that, as one of the 2 primary source pumps(temporarily) until you find an affordable replacement pump. It should run OK with just 1 good pump on the main tank.
Be sure the pumps are not plugged, they have a filter/screen in them. Many times, I have simply cleaned astuck, non working pump and it worked for years.

Thanks, they have them new in stock for $145. Also found that Colemans has used ones for $20.
