    Do You Cover Your 803?

    I used the 1/4 screen on my new 803A with zip ties . I bought it at TSC. I would use something more substantial on the bottom hole. It is not used for air flow just drainage and the time to put it on is before you install it because you will probably never be able to see it again to check it's...

    Do You Cover Your 803?

    Sorry I'm not sure where I got it. I just had it under my work bench. I think a buddy got it for me from a scrap dealer. You could get a piece of aluminum and drill a bunch of holes in it. You can cut aluminum on a table saw with a fine tooth carbide blade.

    I have gotten PayPal involved in a couple of unsatisfactory eBay purchases but it never even occurred to me to pay GL with PayPal. Thanks for the great idea. Ted

    Just an update. GL replied and denied any responsibility. Offered me a $100 credit on future purchases. This is pretty well what I expected they would say but it doesn't make me happy. I was fully aware that the photos and description could be wrong but I never imagined that I would have a Bait...

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    Thanks Guyfang I would have followed your advice and marked it but all the screws on both senders were only part way in and on an angle with the black goo sealing them so I knew the plates weren't oriented right before I took them off. I learned a lot doing this and now even know what a SAE 5...

    Do You Cover Your 803?

    I was putting batteries in my new 2006-803A and noticed that the foam that goes over the lower drain hole sits about an inch above the floor. My 2004-803A has the foam right against the floor. I don't know if it was installed improperly or if it is a design change but it certainly won't keep...

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    I was just reading a post by Zarathustra "NO FUEL error on 802a/803a when there is actually fuel in the tank" from 2015. He gives an excellent description of the low fuel sensor. He also states that the holes in the gasket are not evenly spaced. That was my feeling as well. I don't think it is a...

    MEP-803A battery size

    This is what I made for my 2nd 803A. They are stronger than the original hold downs. I bought the angle at TSC.

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    No I started to remove the filler neck but then I decided to take the plate off the sending unit and pull it out instead. With the cross threaded screws and all the goo they used I didn't want to assume that they had it oriented right. Also taking it apart probably changed the orientation. I...

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    Well sometimes it's best to quit when you are frustrated have a couple beers and go to bed. In my youth I would have ploughed ahead and broken something. I got the sender out this morning. I noticed the slide mechanism was bolted to the round attachment plate. Once I separated them I was able to...

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    Thanks Mike. I have the fuel filler tube out but couldn't get past the guides it slides in. I was getting pretty frustrated at that point though. Today is a new day and I will give it another try. My arms are not that large. After Guyfang's advice I won't be removing the slanted panel so I have...

    I tried that but he was "not in today" and since we were at a national guard site outside the main gates and I couldn't re-enter wthout accompaniment I was **** out of luck.

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    Thanks Guyfang, I assume you mean reach in through the fill hole. I thought of that but there is a liner that extends down quite a ways. I will try to remove the fill suround and see if the liner comes with it.

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    Thanks guys. Here is where I am now. I took the cover off and removed the only thing I could see that had a top adjustment. It had been removed before and all the screws were cross threaded so they had added a whole bunch of black sealant to seal it rather than properly installing the screws...
