    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    I'm also kicking myself in the butt.... 2 weeks ago I could have gotten an running, but in rough shape, 802A mounted on the proper trailer for $500. Doubt I'll ever get that opportunity again. I made the mistake of bringing the wife & she wasn't having it. She's usually okay with my projects but...

    It get's the job done! There originally was a 20KW generator on this trailer that was taken off. It's a 3,500 lbs axle so I'm good to go.

    MEP-802a first connection to the house, report

    I have a Trane 4 ton unit. It takes about 70% of the load running in Cooling mode. Enough for me to leave the smaller stuff on like the fridge along with the booster pump. I have an isolation switch for the well pump so it won't all come on at once. I just shut the HVAC off the run the well. We...

    MEP-802a first connection to the house, report

    I used an interlock kit for my house recently to hook up an 802A if ever needed. Everything is electric at my place, so I can't run everything at once. Sounds like you sized real well!

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    Well, it's been a while. I broke my foot & wasn't able to do much. Got the generator mounted onto a trailer. Not as good as the military trailer they should be on but I got it for only $400. Painted it all sand. Going to do a few more coats. I wired in & put 7 outlets on the side of the...

    I did & ordered all my filters off that before I even had the generator at my house. :)

    I wish I found this thread before replacing mine with the regular rubber one. Oh well, next time. :)

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    I received my auxiliary fuel hose yesterday. Got one new for under $50. Going to add a pickup line to the 50 gallon fuel tank on my truck so when I bring it out to my off-grid place, I can hook into that fuel source & run for days & not worry. The auxiliary fuel setup is easy to use, but I may...

    I looked at that thread but must not have gone deep enough to get to the metal bulkhead nut part. If it leaks again, I will do that. Thanks!

    Okay, I figured it might be something like that, but because it wasn't all of them, I didn't know if I was doing something wrong.

    How come every other post I make says it needs to be approved by a moderator? I made some a week ago that still haven't posted.

    MEP-802a Fuel Sender-need cross reference part or source

    I was able to use a much better part that is much more simple & will last longer I think. WEMA KUS SSS 5 1/2" long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDwyqbAoGcM

    Fuel level sending unit, top fuel tank well nut, & the double float switch for the auxiliary fuel pump & low level shut off. I thought I was also going to need to do a thermostat, but that wasn't the case..... the coolant was a bit low & I think a large air bubble was in there. Topped it off...
