    Mep802a fuel issue

    Any idea what would cause an 802a to ossolate? Even with no load, really bogs down and almost shuts off with a 5kw load. This is for a different gen set.

    Mep802a fuel issue

    I just got the gen set a few days ago and only saw it run for about half an hour. It would make sence that its a blockage but like you said thats prety far up in the fuel system. Guess its time to pull the cover, fuel lines, filters.

    Advice on a 50-100 gallon Auxiliary tank for MEP-802A generator

    100gal is also quite the amount of fuel to keep around for a fuel sipper like the 802a. At 30-50 percent load that would be over 2 weeks of fuel running 16hrs a day.
