    need generator and compressor info

    The MEP-016A-D (A-E?) series all use the same generator end, the voltage selections are a bit unusual, they include 120V only single phase, 240 V only single phase (no 120/240 single phase though, but it can be created by adding a single jumper wire when 240V only is selected on the voltage...

    aux power unit off an M1

    I am not sure if they were M1 Aux power units or not, however GL had a handful of small 3KW 28V unit powered by a small 1 cylinder diesel engine at the nearby army base. These units had similar specs to the MEP-026B, however they were not a MEP series unit, and were much lighter and more modern...

    Mep-003a

    I am not sure if your generator uses the same type electric fuel pump that my MEP-016B uses, but if it does these pumps have a fuel filter screen in the bottom that seems to be left out of the maintenance schedule and may be clogged up. Look to see if the bottom of the electric fuel pumps have...

    MEP 701A help needed!! DC Control Circuit Breaker popping

    Parts are always the problem with these units, try ebay, ask on here if anyone is parting out a unit, etc. As to the voltage regulator repair may be an option, also I think the same voltage regulator is used on an assortment of other MEP models, I am not sure of the details on which ones. Ike

    MEP 701A help needed!! DC Control Circuit Breaker popping

    Google "MEP016B manual" the 701a is a 016b with an ASK housing added. Note on mine some of the wiring does not exactly match the manuals. Ike

    Voltage Regulator adjustment? MEP-016B

    Yeah, the 016B manual is not the greatest on content, and full of obvious mistakes, like the reconnection diagrams. Ike

    Voltage Regulator adjustment? MEP-016B

    Thanks, it will probably be next weekend before I get a chance to do much with it. 117.4V is probably close enough for most purposes, but I don't really like that it is at the max range, the rheostat looked to adjust the voltage in a nice linear way with no spikes, but I don't know the range Ike

    Voltage Regulator adjustment? MEP-016B

    I had my MEP-016B running some this weekend, after changing the voltage selector switch to 120V only from 120V/208V I find that my front panel voltage control knob will now only adjust up to 117.4 V (in 120/208 it would go up to 125V or so), I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a simple...

    Multifuel Gensets?

    I assume your looking at the smaller MEP series generators like the 002 (5KW) and 003 (10KW), both of these us a militarized bored out version of the Onan Diesel J series enginies, so you may have better look searching for people with success running bio-diesel in the Onan DJC, DJF, etc.. As...

    MEP 002A looking for suggestions

    My first reaction is clogged fuel lines, maybe even causing excess pressure buildup on the return side from the injectors. A couple of more possibilities causes, if you have a fuel line leak on the suction side of the pump it may he sucking air into the fuel and getting to the injectors (this...

    Generator /camo colors?

    I was out picking up some stuff from a GL auction at the local army base today and saw some MEP-002s/003s sitting in their yard (assuming soon to be listed for sale). These were a color I have never seen before and I was wondering if anyone had any insight on to the climate they may have been...

    Pick up at Fort Polk

    I know this message is a bit old, but I do have a place just outside Ft. Polk (about 10 miles from the GL/DRMO building) where it could be stored if need be (nothing big enough to tow it with though (biggest thing I have is a 1 ton pickup), but there are some local tow truck operations that I...

    Boat Anchor

    I just wanted to agree, GL really should send their people to Fork Lift Driving school, I bought a trailer mounted diesel powered compressor last summer, when the young Fork Lift driver was loading it onto my trailer, he lifted it by the light end, it fell off the forks onto the trailer, went up...

    Transporting Vehicle Procedure/Under Hood Tag?

    I have never bought a truck from GL, but have bought engine powered items (generators, air compressors, etc.) some had hang tags confirming that the fluids had been drained and battery removed for environmental regulations. I have also found they care very little about how these fluids are...

    Fluctuations in Inventory

    I picked up something at the local site a week or two ago, while there I asked if they had anything interesting coming up and was told that they had very little, and most stuff was being shipped out (I don't know where too), but have to wonder if the better/lighter stuff is going to the new GL...

    ?? genset mfg.

    As far as I know all MEP-002 and 003's are built with Onan engines and Libby Welding generator ends. The ASK versions with the sound suppressing housings are often preferred, there are also various trailer mounted versions (laundry trailer, machine shop trailer, dual / single generator...
