Howdy, The manuals for the MEP-803A generator can be found at a bunch of locations. But, the problem is the organization for the TM's here are a mess. MEP-803A Manuals Lubrication Order LO-9-6115-642-12.pdf TM-9-2815-253-24.pdf TM-9-2815-253-24P.pdf TM-9-6115-642-10.pdf TM-9-6115-642-24P.pdf...

Howdy, Don't try to start it. :) Take each battery out and slow charge them back up to capacity. (each battery like over night) during that time you can start going through the vehicle preparing for starting. checklist of some things to do; fuel tank? drain, fresh fuel fuel filters oil oil...

Howdy, I would hook it up and let it do its thing overnight. I would then attempt the recovery process. The time frame for the recovery can vary from a hour to----- dunno, maybe 12+ hours. The longer you leave it on the battery, the better.

Howdy, If you are running you mep-802a daily and putting hours on it, then it might make sense. Once the temp goes down below 32, you would be better off with real diesel fuel. The glaze point of bio which your talking about is fine when its warm out. The winter kit uses fuel to keep the unit...

Howdy, Let me also add it works great. The thing about the Noco Genius G7200 charger/maintainer/conditioner the longer you leave it connected, the better your battery will be. After reviving 2 Redtop agm batteries, and 2 2HN flooded Exide's(12v separately), I now keep them maintained thru...

Howdy, A MEP generator might make it to the auction because they received a new AMMP genset. Some generators have been sitting waiting to be used, and then they never are, so sell them. Not all MEP generators being sold at auction are tired and old. As a hobbiest engine builder, you would...

Howdy, If the tires have not been changed from factory setup, then at least you see that it was a 35x12.5x16.5 tire. Some things might work like jacking it up and taking the rim somewhere to mount a tire. Good luck with your recovery.

Howdy, Because it has the 4-cylinder lister-petter engine, it is the older model which is considered a 15kw system with 96,000btu To be used with DRASH shelters AAR Mobility Systems 15KW diesel generator, trailer mounted, Powered by a Lister-Petter 4cyl diesel engine. Includes a Nordic Air Inc...

Howdy, Well maybe not for the unit, but, since you have the MEP-802a units, you have the Onan DN4M (Lister LPW4) engine. Is there any NSN tag anywhere?

Howdy, MEP-802A on the load bank single phase 120/240 with 3kw and 6kw loads. https://youtu.be/6j6y6MM5acA

Howdy, 2 x MEP-802a generators Your electrical system is working fine at your house and barn? If it is working fine, then any changes will take place at the generators. The Main service panel at your house has a interlock and you will power that panel with one generator, then unbonded on...

Howdy, I found mine also settled down after I set it on the dirt or cement floor. It did not help being on a wood pallet. The nature of a 2 cylinder is just not as smooth as a 4 cylinder.

Howdy, You might have the copper plate in place at the barn, and not in place at your house. In other words, at the barn using ground rods the generator is the primary. The generator is grounded to the rod and copper plate is in place between ground and neutral on the generator panel. At your...

Howdy, Some do not understand a barn's power situation. I see you have done some thinking since you used a main service panel at the barn instead of a simple sub-panel. That is why your able to use a interlock. Because of distances involved, here in Virginia, you would have that panel...

Howdy, After running your unit a while, shut the system down, and take some paper towels and rub along the fuel return lines. Your braided fuel return lines are probably the culprit. Er, I use off-road red dyed diesel, so I can see the red very easily on the paper towel. good luck.

Howdy, MEP-802A =2HN battery, but currently the Optima Yellow-top D51R. MEP-803A =Optima Red-top model 34 or the model 34/78. MEP-802A Group 51R (L 9.40" x W 5.10" x H8.80" ) The battery area in the 802 is skinny. The trays are just that, a piece of plastic molded with a hole at the bottom...

Howdy, The only thing that comes to mind is the inspector. Each inspector is different. Take a look at a vehicle in CA, and the same in KS, and in TX, and OH, and VA. You will see different variations with the reports. The same thing with the pictures. I have viewed some GP items with great...

Howdy, A good grade 15W-40 diesel oil. You can use Petroleum quality institute of America information and make your own decision with oil too. MEP-802A = ONAN DN2M-1 = Lister-Petter LPW2 (WIX and Napa Gold filters are the same filter minus the first number) Fuel Filter Cartridge WIX...

Howdy, The MEP-80x series are 120/240 single phase and 120/208 3 phase. Yes, they are also overbuilt to withstand 24/7 operation as well.

Howdy, Let me just add that anyone who purchases a generator, should plan on running it with a good load for a hour or two to clean it up. Mine had a little over 300 hours, and I think the last 50 hours were running with nothing loaded, or just a radio in a convenience outlet. Mine was...
