Looking for a fuel strainer part number. Have already found primary and secondary filter numbers
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The strainer is missing, only have the housing.You could download the TM here in the TM forum, for the MEP-004A.
There, in TM 5-6115-464-24P, Page (PDF page number) 198, Figure 49, Item 14, is listed the fuel strainer. Do you need just the strainer? Or is it missing? Normally you simply clean the strainer, not change it.
If you can't locate one, let me know via PM & I'll see if I can come up with a spare.Looking for a fuel strainer part number. Have already found primary and secondary filter numbers
Guyfang,And that's exactly what it should look like. Part number F6X12AT3, NSN 2910-00-374-6020
There are other numbers also, but this is a good one.
Interesting. Unable to find anything like it on the net. Perhaps a water separator cartridge like in the Ford diesel would work. Thanks for your effort.I just took the housing off one I have in the shop--this is what they look like.

Guyfang,
Is it possible that the MEP-003A strainer assembly is the same as what's installed on an MEP-004A? Before I take a bunch of measurements this afternoon I thought you may already know.
No need to look anything else up--when I get back home I'll pull an MEP-002A or 003A strainer and do a comparison. (Out of state a few days this week.)There are approx 16 different NSNs and Part numbers for the strainer. It's the same strainer, no matter what gen set book you look it up in. So if you feel like you have a little dead time on your hands, try all the numbers. I will list them all if you like. But only if you promise to look all of them up!!
Every once in awhile even the government gets it right. It only my two cents worth, but I think we should be still using it. It worked. It was simple. It was in the supply system.
KISS.
