I don’t think so. When I first got this unit I tore it apart to replace the leaky well nut. Cleaned the tank on the inside very well. Never saw any RTV sealant. This really seems to have come from the fuel. The fuel itself smelled and felt different in between my fingers from fresh stuff...

I thought that at first but it just doesn’t look like a biomass. It’s most closely related to a tar substance unless you let it dry out and then it’s like a wax. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I attached a picture of the super sticky sludge I pulled out of the tank. It’s only a little bit but there’s plenty more in there. Unfortunately it completely gummed up my fuel gauge probe, and the fuel level float are pretty sticky as well. So when I have time I’m gonna have to drain the new...

Well I went ahead and treated my 55gallon drum again with another dose of PRI-D and shook the drum around for a few minutes. Hopefully that staves off having the same problem with the large reserve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. Well that makes me fill better. However I still need to do something as things are so sticky inside the tank that the strained at the end of the fill port won’t even drain fuel when pulled out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ride around? It’s in my mep-802. I’m more or less concerned about potential damage to the injectors or mechanical fuel pump. I just need to get this figured out before winter in case we get any ice storms and I need to use the generator. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I messed up. I forgot to add stabilizer to the diesel in my 802 when I filled it about 9 months ago. Now the diesel has varnished up and coated the inside of the tank. Well I didn’t discover this until after I had ran the generator for about 3 hours. Now it ran just fine, and still does, but...

Well I check the oil level now, and I’ve confirmed that the low oil pressure switch works by disconnecting it while the unit is running. So how much if any should I dig into this positive pressure in the crankcase thing? I’m very convinced the oil loss was due to the cap not being put on...

Oh, and I ran it for a little while, not too long, but didn’t see any oil leaks and it didn’t appear to consume any oil either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I ran it with the oil dipstick removed and there is definitely air moving around, mostly out I think. I don’t understand the concept of how the crankcase is suppose to be under negative pressure. It’s a sealed container with pistons moving up and down in an order. Where would the air go...

Awesome, thank you for that advice. I’ll have to check that soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First off, the stupidity comes from not checking the oil level before running my unit. It’s on my before start checklist, how dumb can I be? Well I fired up my 802 today for probably the first time in 2 months. I let it run for about 20 minutes to charge up the batteries and just get fluids...

Maybe it’s because I’ve only been looking in the states closest to me. I don’t know how much shipping would be from someplace like Ohio. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven’t looked at the TM myself. That being said, as a point out that if the TM said to supply 12V, it may of meant a regulated 12V. It appears in your pictures that you hooked up to a battery, which if it was fully charged could have been putting out roughly 13.5V. Just saying. Sent from...

Where have all the 803’s gone? The last month or two there have been very few for sell on the auction websites. My father has been trying to snag one for backup power at his house for about 6 months and hasn’t been successful. The first few times it was his fault as he couldn’t figure out the...

Anybody have another source for these? The website link on the first post is sold out. I just discovered mine has been leaking. Leaked about a gallon in the last month and a half. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just an update. It may have been my starting procedures originally causing this issue, however, last night after connecting it to my house and running it for several hours I shut it down. Then I attempted a restart that failed for low oil Px. I went to go check the oil and found that the common...

That is right. A meter and then a panel. Generator will power whole property with proper load sharing. Now to just figure out the best way to fix the ground on the house. And yes all my plugs are grounded in my house. Gotta love the 60’s electrical code in Oklahoma. Sent from my iPhone using...

First off I would like to apologize for the can of worms I am about to open up as this has been discussed in depth in other threads. That being said, I have a unique situation. Please read the entire thread as there are many important details regarding my electrical setup. First, I have a...

Agreeded. There are some charge controllers for about $20 on amazon. There may also be solar panels that have them built in. The hard thing is finding one for 24v Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
