    Fuel drain shutoff valve

    Shoot me a PM, I should have what you want. They use the same item on an 802, and I have a couple here in parts.

    MEP 803 return fuel line fittings

    Dremel with caution... very easy to pass into the barb which its grabbing onto. I use a pair of vice grips and squeeze the ridges of the cap together, which makes a raised area on the cap... which I can then cut with metal shears or a shear/crimp tool. Kurt covered the rest.

    MEP-802A bug/rodent screen mod

    I use 1/4" hardware cloth and self tapping sheet metal screws. Don't forget to cover the bigger offenders, the large square cutout in the skid base under the engine, as well as the round cutouts under each battery.

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    If it can't take a sustained 12 and shed effectively, it sounds like a design flaw for certain!

    A digital MEP 802/803 repair and maintenance assistant.

    For those interested in such things, I would recommend the entirety of the TMs listed for 802s and 803s (genset and engine books). Its a lot of common info between the two frankly. If its something that works 'well' the info for trailer mounted units (power units and power plants) would be a...

    I would love to help test it, but on principle I can't. I hope it turns out to be useful to someone.

    MEP-016D (Yanmar L70) break in

    Well I respectfully disagree with their statement that break in oil is a gimmick. It lacks friction modifiers to allow slight wearing of components so they all seat properly. But I am glad you got an answer on hours to break in.

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    Rated power for a 3TNV84T... it should do 12K without an issue mechanically. It is possible that they sized the fan in the MEP platform for 10KW power though (which is why the AMMPS is so quick to throw the code for making too much power). If you were drawing too much, the system should have...

    MEP-016D (Yanmar L70) break in

    I know the 100hr mark is for the larger 80X machines that are rebuilt with Lister Petter engines in them. If you are getting conflicting info, you can always reach out to Yanmar directly and see what they have to say. Thats what I would do here. https://www.yanmar.com/us/support/contact/

    MEP-016D (Yanmar L70) break in

    From this book (which covers the L70): https://www.nuvair.com/manuals/Yanmar-LV-100-Use-Manual.pdf What 'manual' are you referencing that says 100hrs?

Both TMs will feature manufacturer part numbers, which will cross to identical NSNs...
