Is there a cheaper way to install air brakes on your tow vehicle? I'm thinking an electric/air system on your truck and then run the air hoses to M720 axles. Need air compressor and the electric actuation system. I have no experience with air brakes, but thinking 1 system should be less...

Your shed looks pretty full. I would put it back on the trailer and park it beside the house as it was.

8135 is good for gas and diesel: https://airtexasc.com/media/1178/16-universal-fuel-pump-applications.pdf

Some pump info here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-8xx-series-fuel-pump.151124/page-2#post-2245958 This should get you close to your price point....but will need a few fittings and connectors: https://www.rockauto.com/en/partsearch/?mfr=AIRTEX&parttype=6256&partnum=E8135

Diesel has a pretty unique smell. Compare to what's in your fuel tank. Motor oil is a heavier oil as LITD points out and will have more lubricity. I ask because I had a fuel leak on an 802 that put diesel on the flat surface of the engine shown in photo #2: the fuel line clips were sprung...

Diesel fuel or motor oil?

You may want to consider purchasing a used Kenmore 'load bank' like I did.......

My notes on alternators for the MEP-802A and MEP-803A generators: Alternator: PRESTOLITE LEECE NEVILLE 8MR3005C CAR 8RG3063 GENERATOR ALTERNATOR TRUCK 24V , NSN 6115-01-368-2911. Actual part number is 8MR3005CA, NSN 6115-01-459-1661. The 8MR3005C will need the head rotated per Green Mountain.

Fuel drain leak is covered by Daybreak in his parts list: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/the-infamous-well-nut-info.154411/#post-1875261 A lot of guys prefer the bulk head fitting replacement: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ultimate-well-nut-repair.171091/

I would go with an MEP-802A.

I use jerry cans for my 802 when camping. It's an option worth considering....... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/jerry-can-fuel-pickup-adapter-and-hose-for-wavian-nato-cans.181889/#post-2229291
