I am seriously considering purchasing this generator. And have a few questions.
1) What do I need to know as far as how is this different that a normal civilian 5kw generator?
2) Are parts still readily available? (Especially filters... Filter cost?
3) What is the modification mentioned at the end of the description?
4) What sort of fuel burn should I expect at 50% load?
5) Asking price is $3200. Does that seem fair/reasonable?
FROM THE AD:
1994 libby MEP-802A Military Generator 5000 watt only 328 hours fresh oil & filter load tested for 6 hours at 6000 watts.
Capabilities
5000 watts @ 120/208 volts 3 phase 60hz
5000 watts @ 120/240 volts 1 phase 60hz
120 volts 10 Amp convience receptacles
All gauges work as they should
Lister Petter diesel engine
Has the required Mov & fuse modification that protects the generator from shorting itself out when cheaper parts fail
-----------
Thanks in advance!
