Letterkenny may have gotten tired of purchasers attempting to contact the email and phone numbers listed on the tag. The paperwork was wrong on one of mine (several years ago) and I sent a couple emails to Letterkenny. I received no response, but I did not get a 'not a valid email address'...
I was convinced I had pressure in my 802 because the fluid in the manometer would disappear. I then decided to make an air chamber to help reduce the pressure swings in the oil sump out of a peanut butter jar. I've got ~2" vacuum.

Military Generator Heater Auxiliary Fuel Line MEP-802 MEP-803 MEP804 Diesel
there's one out there. I fabbed my own from 1/4" fuel hose and they work well. But it is nice to have a 'bullet proof' spare.
An Airtex E1074 came on my machine. Summit sold them once upon a time....https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/atx-e1074/overview (it is a 24 volt pump). Note fitting on top of pump and electrical connector.
Airtex E8135 is about as close as we can get...
Here are a couple Faria-Beede data sheets:
Oil Pressure sending unit looks like Datcon 02504, Datcon 02504-00 for the MEP-803A: https://www.parttarget.com/6620-01-128-3053_6620011283053_7B1118-001.html/-0F27605A-C21F-4331-9F48-EDD5C143246F . Several on Ebay.

The only thing I reused from the blue K&N switch was the diode. The Electroswitch drawing in my original post notes this. The 75902LV is a much better switch than the blue plastic versions.
I've been happy with my Amprobe meters, but I am not an electrician. I bought the AMP-220, AM-570, and AM-510 from this outfit: https://www.tequipment.net/ because they were the best price at the time of purchase. This was several years ago.
I don't recall the prices being this high for the...

I power my 120V 30 amp camper with an 802: WAY too much power so I need to have a couple extra heaters working. I did not rewire ANYthing in my control box. I simply used my Output Selection switch and dialed in 120V single Phase. I have the Neutral and Ground bonded with a driven ground rod...
The TM for the M E P - 0 1 6 B indicates you have an Output Selection switch that allows you to select 120V 1 Phase output. I don't own one so have no idea of the differences in your 701A. TM has a wiring diagram that may help...
Top 2 bolts (#5) are anchors that allow the lunette to swing in or out as you pull the trailer. Your lunette is attached by the 4 each #3 bars. Check out the attached Mendenhall Buyers Guide.
You might want to check your wiring connections, too. It might be something as simple as a grounding or corrosion problem. I searched on 'fuel gauge pegs full' and got several hits. This one is interesting:
What would cause a fuel gauge to peg way past full?
Re: What would cause a fuel gauge...
I used a 70 amp breaker. The 803 is rated to 52 amps. Searching the wise old internet led me to a rule of thumb to size the breaker for 125% of maximum amperage. 125% of 52 amps = 65 amps. I suspect the day I bought the breaker Lowes or Home Depot were out of 65s and I went with a 70amp...
My Kenmore 'load bank' cost me $50, the 2 dollies $20/each, the electrical connector around $30.....$120. A few months later I found a second stove on the side of the street and dragged it home. I move this one around with a hand truck. It needed a couple burners replaced so cost was around...
I saw 71.4 amps at one point and a lot of 62.2 amp meter checks. This is a 52 amp machine in 120/240 volt. 52amps x 240 volts = 12480 watts......12.5Kw. It appears to me that you are overloading your machine. When I first bought my 803 I ran it hard to clean it out.....and it really didn't...
