    MEP 803a Fuel Water/Separator

    Howdy, It seems all the units which still have the factory installed water/fuel filter installed are stuck on hard. It could be because of the age, dry installation, over tightened, etc... Another filter which was a bear to get off.

    MEP-8xx stainless steel screw information

    Howdy, OK, after you start replacing some, you do get carried away a little. I guess I should have just ordered at least 200 of the screws to begin with. It kinds sucks when your going along and then you realize you do not have any screws left.:sad:

    Howdy, Since I am in a similar predicament. What distance approx. should the top be showing above the locking nut gasket? I do not have a good reference since it was messed with. I have taken it out, and verified it is working. I put in a new cork gasket. I just need a idea of where to set...

    MEP-8xx stainless steel screw information

    Howdy, It really depends how crazy you want to go replacing screws. For example; say you only want to do the ones on the top panel and front panel only. That's maybe 40 screws. 90% the smaller #10 screws, and 7 of the 1/4" screws. At least the listing gets you an idea about what they call...

    MEP-802a hookup

    Howdy, Usually when someone talks about plugs etc... your talking about portable. SOOW wire is that. You are going with direct burial permanent installation. You might as well use solid copper wire the entire way and just connect to the lugs on the generator and connect directly to the panel...

    M1101/M1102/LTT-TQG any newer aluminum trailer height

    Howdy, Remember, these trailers have surge brakes. That means backing them can be a problem up a incline of any type. Backing and hitting a curb will most definitely lock the brakes, and could cause damage to your receiver riser on your tow vehicle. I am using only a slight rise on my receiver...

    MEP-802a hookup

    Howdy, OK, but If your running it 100' you would want to step up to something like southwire viper soow 8/4 for that kind of distance. Those plugs are fine for indoor, and covered connections. Outside you want to go with something different. If you want to connect it to a off-grid barn, I would...

    Silver eagle LTT-TQG

    Howdy, After looking around. The trailer you have is close to the M1102 trailer chassis. Except you still have a hole where the generator was sitting. In Nov 4, 2015, in California a bunch of the M1102 chassis trailers sold. Ranged from $300-$550 Link to one of the better M1102 trailer chassis sold
