A 'minor' detail bit me one time. I had overheating problems when I put too much antifreeze in my 803. Once I got the mixture correct - 50% antifreeze / 50% water in my case - all was as it should be.

I like discarded or used electric oven/stoves for load banks. I've got one I paid $50 for and one I found discarded on the side of the street. Mine are the old style with exposed, plug in electric eyes (cheap parts). I had to add a few burner eyes to the road find stove and now all is good...

There's a good amount of info on this subject on the SS site. Here are a few threads worth reading...... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/connected-my-mep-803a-the-proper-way-as-my-home-standby-generator-install-pics.128668/...

Here is a good discussion on aux fuel pump problems...... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-802a-auxiliary-pump-any-chance-fuel-can-siphon-from-30-gallon-drum.193347/#post-2261169 Prime time is probably less than 3 minutes.....depends on the size and length of your aux. fuel hose.

If you are just transporting the generator the M1101/1102 will work well. I prefer to leave my generator on a purpose built trailer to make oil changes easier. I changed the wheels/tires on my M1101 to lower it a little but it's still kind of high.

Basic design of these desiccant breathers is shown here: https://diesel-fuels.com/desiccant-fuel-tank-vent-breathers/ I think that when it comes time to 'Recharge' my desiccant with 225F heat I'll be doing in on the outside grill with the top up until I'm convinced the diesel / flammable...

We used to put desiccant vents on our extruder gearboxes. Nice throw away units that cost WAY more than I want to pay. They hand screwed into a pipe thread on top of the gearbox. Air flow was bi-directional into and out of the gearbox. When extruding material the gearbox would get warm and...

I've just changed out the fuel in my 50 gallon storage tank and began thinking of installing a desiccant breather. The ones I found were expensive and throw-away units. I wanted something I could recharge with desiccant pellets bought online. This is what I came up with: 1) I started with a...

Sent you a PM. I think they've changed rules about upcoming auctions.....

You probably should read the rules about discussions regarding upcoming auctions......and then delete your post. Maybe I need to read the rules..... Collusion: Collusion between members will not be tolerated in the SteelSoldiers.Com forums. The following could be construed as collusion and...

My 803a is pretty quiet. I'm very tight against my neighbors.....the concrete is their driveway. But I do share my generator power when things go dark....

justacitizen has an excellent point: add up your necessary load for an outage. I have an MEP803A and am WAY overpowered during an outage. So much so that I've started running my electric clothes dryer each day to help clean out the wet stacking. I have a gas stove, gas water heater, gas home...

I'm doing that right now with my 50 gallon storage tank.....fuel has gotten kind of old. I've got one of my spare MEP fuel pumps rigged up for use transferring fuel. I pumped old fuel out of the storage tank to my truck and another tank the other day and fresh fuel from Jerry cans back into...

Check out this link: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/jerry-can-fuel-pickup-adapter-and-hose-for-wavian-nato-cans.181889/#post-2229291 I let the aux. fuel pump do the jerry can lifting. I use the European jerry cans for fuel, so this adapter would not seal as well with your Scepters.

Chains might reach your hitch.....I always need some extra length. What is the electric impact system for? Those spare tires are heavy: I need a ramp to roll them up into the bed of my pick-up.

Low air pressure in the tires (I bring an air tank, too), short safety chains (shackles and short sections of chain), lots of zip ties, tools, and monitor the hub temperatures. I pulled an 1101 out of Bragg with a tight hub and did not have the tools to loosen the nut so had to stop at every...
