    Aux Fuel - Scepter Cans - Goodness!

    Howdy, There is a difference. A water can is just that... a water can. The opening is the wrong size. A Sceptre MFC works with the fuel container adapter. The fuel container adapter works with the Sceptre MFC 5 gallon, and a 55 gallon barrel.

    Military MEP generator reset information

    Howdy, Something to read and understand what a RESET unit is. Also a great source for names and part numbers. PDF page 29 has the MEP-8xx 5kw and 10kw fuse mod. It also has the ME-8xx 15kw and higher fuse mods listed too.

    MEP-802a best practices

    Howdy, Good deal. You are prepared for its arrival then. The fuse mod was dated like May 2007. So any unit from the factory after that date would have it installed. If the unit was ever RESET, then its installed. It's all the older units which should have it installed in the field, but, ya...

    Time To Add More Load

    Howdy, Yes, the MEP-803A can take a lot to load it up. You think you are running lots of stuff, and come back and look at the gauge... ummm, I thought that would be 100% at least...:jumpin:

    MEP-802a best practices

    Howdy, New low hour unit. The diesel motor is not broken in yet. It has a special break-in oil in it. If you are going to do it right, then Break-In oil for the low hour MEPS Obviously you will want to go through everything. Check the starting routine. Do not idle the machine, bring it up to...

    Issues with SF-97

    Howdy, This just makes me mad. quote from e-mail back from customer service. "We just recently got a batch of blank SF97 forms so we are beginning the printing process for the requests that were made in order. Once yours have printed it will take about 3-5 weeks until they are FedExed out to...

    Off road Diesel in a 2011 MEP 803

    Howdy, Another way to think of it. The MEP-802/803 uses a Lister Petter design LPW2 and LPW4 which has been around a long time. There are no changes present from a MEP-803A built in 1992 when compared to your 2011 unit. They were made to use sloppy precision. The only changes which we have...

    Transfer Switch Installation Costs - Your Opinion

    Howdy, I do not know the thinking behind some of the utility companies. In Virginia, I was with Alleghany Power a long time ago, and it got..split, bought out, whatever. It is now Rappahannock Electric Cooperative which is under the umbrella of A Touchstone Energy Cooperative. They have a...

    Transfer Switch Installation Costs - Your Opinion

    Howdy, They have lots of stuff. http://www.pspproducts.net/Transfer%20Switch%20Specs.pdf My style is semi-automatic. The have full auto with the 2 wire start too. You still need to talk to your utility about it and that PSP company about what they offer. I am very happy with what I have. I...

    Transfer Switch Installation Costs - Your Opinion

    Howdy, I do not see how you would do that. The only way would to have the transfer switch on the pole, right at the meter. Well, unless you runs a bunch of extra wire... And the need to put in new buried conduit to run the wire back to the pole. Only so many of certain size fit in a pipe...

    Transfer Switch Installation Costs - Your Opinion

    Howdy, I take it you have a pole with the 1 meter? and it looks like you have aerial feeds to the other locations? I have what's known as a central farm distribution. I have a device which I sourced from my local utility. No permit needed since they are the utility. They installed it in about...

    803a hours

    Howdy, If you have charged each battery individually, there is no need to put the charger back on it. The optima redtops can sit there for months without issue. To ensure they are fully back to life. Leave them alone until you come back. Take a meter to each and see what the resting voltage...

    A not-so-funny story (hz)

    Howdy, Well, officially, it could have been 2-3 people bidding it up against each other. Either way, a total of 163 bids placed which I believe are like $25 or more increments. But, a total of 18 400Hz units have been sold in the last few months... I wonder if the new owner will cruise into...

    803a hours

    Howdy, The unit looks good. Clean straight panels, taken care of, and maintained unit NOTE; you will need to replace the fuel return lines. They shows signs they are at the weeping-leaking time A good 4 hours at 100% load will help with the wet-stack goo MEP-8xx wet stack info
