Sorry I wasn't clear. That was a steam turbine they ran from the exhaust. It was actually two diesel turbines each one could produce 25mw then if both were running we could produce about 20mw from our steam turbine. or if only one was running we would get the 10. more like 8 really but I'm...

That's real similar to the way they use the exhaust off the jet engines and the power plant to run steam turbines.i always thought that was an awesome use of waist heat. The turbines I worked around made 25mw then the exhaust made another 10. I'm pretty new here too. Yeah this is an awesome...

I won't lie I was hoping for the ability to generate 20kw total. Oops. I do have the ability to program my inverter to help the gen if the load goes over a certain amount so if the gen is running and the load goes to high it will help and when it's lower it can be charging the batteries is...

It's pretty funny I just assumed when I saw the sync box that it was for sharing load. I guess I'm going to have a pile of those 803s laying around now. Lol

I did find one TM that at least showed the system even though it didn't really describe the function but I saw it was still hydraulic drum brakes then went on you tube and learned more. It makes sense in you have to bug out you don't want brakes locked up cause an air line is broke or...

I thought for sure that sync box was so you could parallel the loads and get 20kw. I've been reading and it's just for transferring without interruption. I do need to research more before I do things. Well I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway I still want it. I just thought for sure that's...

Well I did it again. I bought one of those power plants. I was supposed to sell a piece of equipment to a friend up in Pennsylvania so I thought I could kill two birds with one stone and deliver it then pick up my stuff. Any way the delivery fell through and I don't want to drag my 40 foot...

Do you guys know why they might have ripped all the reset tags off a batch of auction gens? There are like 20 gens two per trailer power plants and all the reset tags have been torn off.

Thanks a lot. I'm in the process of learning about these and knowing which parts to buy. I see you can very easily spend to much. Lol. I stole the water temp guage out of my 802 and did the recommend 30 minute run while watching the temp. I added a 35% load as a bonus though. It gets to 180...

Yes sir. Right now I'm still trying to figure out what all I need. Do you have recommendations based on what you see? Should l just replace the water pump too? Or maybe just buy a full gasket kit? I haven't been able to find just the water pump gaskets yet.

Update. After some reading and troubleshooting I'm pretty sure the water temp guage needs replaced. I'm still not sure the thermostat is opening or that the water pump is circulating water though. I did establish that the temp sender is sending. Maybe I never got it got enough to open and I...

So I know you've all been dying to know if the new 803A was going to run. I know I was. So the suspense was killing me and I had to know. I put a plug into the open hole where the petcock will go topped off the oil and filled the radiator. She started and ran and produced electricity. What a...

I am really happy there are such awesome resources available both written and such a helpful community of knowledgeable people that are willing to help. I knew there were many reasons I wanted military gens both because they buy the best but also great documentation.

BTW thanks for the direction. I found the part in the TM and sourced one on ebay. Awesome thank you. I took your advice and used the TM. Those things are awesome!!! I found the part number and ordered one off ebay. It's 1/4npt btw. Thanks again for the info.

I did mean to post those pics of non relevant parts of the machine in case someone might notice something I should know about but I sure wasn't meaning to post 5 of each

Lol. I hadn't noticed what happened with the pictures until I read your reply. Oops. That's good to know thank you. I didn't realize that was just a drain. I knew that one hose was supposed to attach there and was curious about it's function. Do you know what thread that is? 1/4 npt perhaps...

Hello. I hope I'm doing this correctly. Is this a new thread labeled mep 803a? I just got home with one of these. Can someone tell me the name and size of the nipple that the water line ties to behind the alternator? I'll post some picks. The nipple is broke off and someone had stuck an ear...
