    Just got a 1994 MEP-802a Has a few issues..

    The coolant leak may by from the rubber cap on the unused nipple on the water pump. My 1997 802 leaked there when I first got it. Found the rubber cap had dried out and cracked. Easy fix. See TM 9-2815-252-24P Figure 3 (Cooling System) item 11

    Heating a S280

    How about getting a used propane "furnace" from a trailer or camper? They pull air in from the outside, use it for combustion and then vent the combustion outside again. I put one on my car trailer/camper. Works great. It does require 12 v power to run the igniter and the blower. Only required...

    MEP-802A Master Control Switch. It's an 88-21160 NSN:5930-01-368-5160

    Electrically it looks like it should work according to the switch contact tables in the two TM's. Just need to use the correct terminals on the switch from the -002.

    Finally Joined The MEP Family

    Grab a copy of TB 9-6115-642-13 It has all the info on the operation of the heater. Essentially it burns diesel fuel and circulates warmed coolant thru the engine block.

    Mep-802a overload capacity

    Resistive loads are a 1.0 power factor. With a 1.0 PF load the 802 can provide 5000/0.8=6,250 Watts If you are running a purely resistive load such as a water heater and incandescent lights it should happily put out 6,250 watts and would be at 100 % load on the meter. I verified this yesterday...
