Much as I am a fan of "it can't be tight if it's a liquid" occasionally, given what else is on the trailer, I would vote for a big wrench and a breaker bar, or large impact wrench.
@JerryK you could try any of these in your favorite search engine(s) and see what you get; use the phrase filetype, followed by a colon, followed by pdf, (no space from colon to pdf), I.e. "filetype"+":"+"pdf" instead of the emoticons below. (Anyone know how to quote text so the emoticons don't...
Partshawk.com lists the Airtex E8135 as 1/4-18NPSF inlet and a 3/8 (npt?) outlet, but I would double check yours as there many variations floating around.

That helps a bit. (I know nothing.) Did you look at the older thread here;
https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tm-for-pu-821-t-pu-822a-t-power-plant.131746/# ?
It was a TMSS100G: Power Plant, Utility, PU-821/T, GREEN, NSN 6115-01-547-6713, DLA NSN 8340-01-533-5396, is a green system...
I avoid teflon tape on diesel lines, both because it tends to leak and others have had trouble with injector fouling. I also avoid silicone products.
It is an NPT fitting, and should seal without sealant, it if you want sealant, get one for diesels like this...
That is helpful.
Have you looked at how much your freezer actually draws when it kicks on? (LRA?) At first glance, since you have observed that it correlates with the freezer starting, I would at least consider that the LRA plus the other loads is too much, triggering the "Short circuit"...
I'd bring it into your local auto parts or Napa store, as it isn't too fancy, just needs to be diesel compatible.
The spring is required to keep the filter in place, so it is great that you have it. The one of the small o-rings helps keep dirty fuel from bypassing the filter, the other keeps...
The fuel filter assembly has three kinds of gaskets.
Top to bottom:
1) the thin outer o-ring between the outer bowl and the filter mount.
2) the thick, wide inner gasket/washer between the filter and the housing, (usually comes with the filter)
3) the two, small o-rings either side of the spring...
There is a whole thread on this, but the short answer is it is a dash 202 o-ring available from a
many suppliers. e.g. McMaster-Carr.

In general, you can measure the o-ring size and turn it into...
I agree with @Guyfang on this one as well. Unless you go all in, stripping this down to an engine and a gen head with AVR, you are going to have a lot of wires, so the odds that removing the wires will solve the short issue is much less than one in three in my book. If you want a stripped down...
I think that they are actually two tanks, and designed to go around a beveled hull or wheel well. The MSRP is $5k/ea, which makes me wonder what is inside them, e.g. anti-spark / flashback resistant material. The caps are labeled for Diesel. They look to have been around the block, but could...
Thanks for the follow up, and I'm glad that you got it working.
There are third party strainers to be had; I tend to assume that diesel isn't clean, and refueling tends to occur in less than perfect conditions. But maybe that's just me.

If it were me, I would try to find a NOS/good used one.
If you go down the route of new, in the past, I have used these folks, but be prepared, pricey!

I'm sure there are lots more around, and comparison shopping...
No, I didn't intend to scare you with this. Yes, it functions just like a coolant overflow bottle on most engines.
The only unusual thing to me about the MEP-803 radiator cap is access / location, and that tends to leave behind a little more air than radiators with the cap at the high point of...
The overflow bottle is there to purge air out of the system. When the coolant heats up, the pressure is vented into the bottle, which includes any gas, or air. On cooling the vacuum, sucks only coolant back in. After a few cycles, on most reasonably designed engines, the air and therefore the...
