    Won't start after gel up.

    Howdy, Diesel fuel and cold temp and filters. Diesel fuel will what's called GEL at a certain cold point. This will vary with formulation, additives, etc... The other inherent issue are the filters. When diesel fuel gels, and it runs through a filter, you get a wax paraffin. So, not only is...

    60KW genset phase quandry

    Howdy, Some newbies need to read a little before commenting. 60KW MEP with a touch screen. OK, that rules out the older MEPS. A MEP-806B is the style of generator you have. Yes, it is 3-phase. Most current motors have a label on them which will give you some specs as 208v-230v needed to...

    Generator connection choices

    Howdy, Connected to a house panel, you use 4 wires from that panel to your generator, bonding strap removed since you are using the service panel grounding system. In the field, ground rod in place, bonding strap in place.

    802 tripping overload

    It finally arrived, MEP-803a

    Howdy, Point of thought. If you open the panel and the fuse mod is NOT applied. I would strongly suggest you do not start it, or anything. If you happen to not start right up, and cranks a little, you can have bad things happen. The fuse mode for the quad windings is a must. Military MEP...

    802 tripping overload

    Howdy, Loose or not 100% connections cause lots of issues. Say you have new batteries and the connection is dirty and loose. You go to start and you get a click. You take the battery term off and clean it, and bolt it back properly and it all works great. The problem you are having could all...

Air intake not directly sucking up debris, exhaust going up, and radiator exhaust going up, CARC paint, limit...

    What coolant & for MEP-802a? Precharged nitrite type or just green heavy duty type?

    New to me 802

    Howdy, Take a look at the batteries themselves. The military uses dry charged batteries. (It means they are ready to go, just add acid, charge, and go) Type in the NSN number on the battery to get a idea of what, and which style it is. Any oil you find in the unit will be preservation oil. It...
