Glad things weren't destructive on your end!

David was taking that one to someone in western NC. Kinda wish he was leaving it with me since it was charged with MY diesel fuel! :D I have been working on mine at home. I went the DIY route with cells and battery enclosures. Its been online for a few weeks now and working well so far.

No doubt. I didn't want to talk about any uses that involved things such as missile systems on a youtube video. All it takes is someone reporting the video and youtube will demonetize it. We decided to keep it kinda vague.

I swear I recognize those guys. :D

Thats OK, we can help you get going. For these parts we have a quick reference at the top of the forum: https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-802a-mep-803a-filters-and-parts.186068/ The water separator filter part number is right there. If you ever need to find the part number for an item...

Get TM number TM 9-6115-642-24 from the TM section on this forum. Page 39 shows the parts breakdown of the unit. Refer to item 3, fuel water separator Page 51 shows the fuel system schematic. Page 421 shows the water separator I don't know what else is missing but that part is a simple spin...

@mlaxton, give us the rundown of the current problems?

What issues are you having? Has the unit ever worked correctly?

The new batteries for my system arrived today. 45kw/h in total. Each box is around 70lbs. Not fun to carry in the house! Next thing is to get them all opened up and tested before the return window closes in a few days.

I don't have the EG4 but I expect it is the same as most hybrid inverters where the same silicon that does the inverting also does the charging. Since they can only direct power in one direction at a time, when charging, the generator needs to be able to carry the load of the structure plus the...
