    Advise needed for MEP-018A

    Hmmm, and I thought you needed an oil filter. Look at the TMs Chainbreaker pointed out in post #14. You are looking for the NSN of a 'filter', 'fuel filter', 'air filter'.... Search those terms when you get the TM with lots of NSN numbers. Some of the TMs are specific to the Engine, the...

    Towing MEP 803a

    Mine looks like the tan picture: it's an MEP-803A sitting on an M116A3. The second picture is my MEP-802A sitting on a Light Tactical Trailer generator chassis. Curb weight on the LTT is 1175 lbs. So if yours is sitting on an LTT it's about 200 lbs heavier than mine. Call it 2860 lbs...

    Towing MEP 803a

    My 803 is sitting on an M116A3 trailer. Shipping weight shows as 2,660 lbs. What kind of trailer is your generator sitting on? My trailer plate indicates an empty weight of 960 lbs.

    TM will have a part number for the oil filter. Plug that oil filter number into Parttarget and you get lots of numbers. https://www.parttarget.com/2940-00-580-6302_2940005806302_MS35802-1.html/-d1eb679b-44fb-4fab-a738-31ce4812fd5d?searchtext=ms35802-1&searchoption=sku&originalsearchtext=ms35802-1

    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    This might work: https://www.wholesalemarine.com/moeller-marine-fuel-pick-up-tube-79134.html . Says fitting is 1/4" male pipe so you will need a bushing to install the assembly. If you go with a polymer tube that is not Nylon check diesel fuel compatibility.

    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    Should work well as long as you don't have too many fittings in exhaust and the pipe is short. I've got mine elevated because of the heavy, wet snow we sometimes get in VA. I recall some sales units - out of Columbus, OH I think - that had a 90 degree fitting on the exhaust pipe, a short...

    M1102 Trailer Value?

    I have not noticed any problems with brakes. The illustrated application did not work due to low tongue weight, so I moved the lunette to another trailer. The added metal is solid steel.

    M1102 Trailer Value?

    ~$1,000 at auction in GA. Check GovPlanet's sales history for the trailer and your desired location. GA auction prices have been between $900 and $3000....so depends on how hard headed the bidders are at that particular sale and the sale's location. Great trailers. I lowered my M1101 3...

    802A question

    I would tape the individual ends up so they don't hit anything else. If gauge was broken / not reading I would think they should not be connected while running. And that meter is hard to find. Might want to look in the SS classifieds. 60 Hz...

    Ok this is probably going to be a really dumb question or two

    I connected a Pulsetech IS-24-L Solargizer to the connection bolts on the NATO Slave plug on my 802 and it blinked as designed. You might want to change your connection points.
