Yep, I installed it. Not all that difficult and a call to Peter straightened me out on some alternatives. you can find my thread where I post about it. My only issue is with my Aux fuel, seems to work ok from main switch but not from autostart. May or may not be related to the module and I...

Congratulations care to share how much?

I'd be interested as my 803 doesn't have the mod. PM me

So let me add my experience... i have the 24kw version of this unit, bought brand new from the company after a fair amount of research and back and forth with these people assuring me not only was I getting a good product, but their great support as well. A bit of background. We built our house...

I have the 803a with Peter's autostart board installed and on a transfer switch : http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?154027-MEP-803A-as-off-grid-solar-backup as for why - we live totally off grid. Sometimes the generator has to come on at an inconvenient time. Most of Sep wife and I...

Sounds great :)

I'm in. already got mine in generator info

Thanks, Mike

Thanks Chris i thought of had looked pretty good thru the manuals, but alas, I missed it :(

QUESTION Anyone know the trigger point for the Aux fuel pump to kick in? 1/2? 1/4? 1 gal? ???

A bit of egg on my face here :) Seems I may NOT have a problem with the aux fuel overflow after all. When the bottom of your 125 gal aux tank sits higher than the top of the generator tank and you plumb the line into wrong fitting, there may be a problem - GRAVITY. I plumbed my line into the...

Jamawieb, perhaps I should add that the Inova board still allows for independent start/stop which would require manual use of the interrupter switch.

I had that concern myself, but Peter got me straight. The board does take care of it and unloading for shutdown. As Peter told me there are various wiring configurations, the instructions don't show them all. So far very happy with the board, but the sequence is a bit different from my...

Thanks guys, sure do appreciate the help. Hosted our retired military group for semi monthly meeting and lunch today. Kinda figured some of the ladies might not be appreciative of diesel essence in their meal. Need to burn off some fuel as it is to the top. I just might decide to wait until I...

Thought I had a pretty good day in that I was able to get my Aux fuel line tied into my main 125 gal tank. Let it run to test for leaks. None suspected. Came back after it had been running 10-15 minutes unattended to find a puddle of diesel being fed via the tank filler. Guessing the Aux pump...

Should have known that was too easy LOL. Went out after posting above to find a puddle of diesel. Guess the good news is the aux fuel pump works, less than good is it didn't shut off so fuel was flowing from the tank filler neck. Guess a couple gallons, but don't know. No idea how the shutoff...

Today was another major. Hooked up the Aux fuel line to my main, 125 gal tank. Biggest challenge was finding the 5/16 flare fitting locally. Finally got one today at an Air/Hydro shop, 5/16 flare to 3/8 MPT. Had already installed a 3/4 tee after my tank filter so simple matter of 3/8 X 3/4...

Had to make a change to my manual transfer switch. Replaced the slider type on-off-on switches with a more robust DTDP flip type. Added an LED to each side to indicate which generator is controlled by Autostart. Challenge in that the only time there was power in the box was when something was...

I'd be curious what are you running on 400hz? Be sure you get the right one :) http://www.marcorsyscom.marines.mil/Portals/105/pdmeps/docs/MEP/B1016B1021.pdf Sure isn't economical

WOW, that makes me really glad I got from you. Thanks again.
