    My MEP-802a recovery from Fort Drum & work though to start project. Documenting here.

    Howdy, OH, the filter cartridge cup got ya... ;) Anyway, nice start-up. The MEP-802A being 2 cylinder does have some shake to it. It is more pronounced when it is not on solid ground. My first start-up and run was on a pallet in the back of the truck. The lifting rings were like a Christmas...

    My MEP-802a recovery from Fort Drum & work though to start project. Documenting here.

    Howdy, I found that from the factory, they reversed the bolts direction. After looking at the manual, I put the bolts from the inside, through the plate, then the panel, with washer, lock washer and nuts to the outside. That made it much easier. That was after trying to install it back the way...

    My MEP-802a recovery from Fort Drum & work though to start project. Documenting here.

    Howdy, I see you too have gotten the king kong tightened fuel filter. You are not the only one which has taken the unit apart to get the whole assembly in a vice to get the stupid filter off. Spin-On Fuel Filter is Stuck Thread Napa has all the filters too. MEP-8xx filters

    Howdy, I know they have sign off on the electrical wiring and such, but, I was not aware of any EPA compliance. Well, except Kalifornia. Mep-803A Exemption

    My MEP-802a recovery from Fort Drum & work though to start project. Documenting here.

    Howdy, Yes, I would say someone just grabbed 2 batteries and shoved them in there. The current listing for batteries are Optima Yellowtops 51R. The Optima RedTops will still command a good price out there. Or any 51R type battery you want to buy. From the pictures I saw of your unit, you do...

    Finally Joined The MEP Family

    Howdy, I know what your saying. I was surprised at what all was running and it was barely making the MEP-803A work. Like anything, when the power is out, I use power sparingly. I am not trying to make thanksgiving dinner. (all ovens, and all burners on) This is also why I suggest people...

    Era of affordable MEPs over?

    Howdy, I saw the same thing happening with all the MEP-8xx units. About a month ago approx. 40 units were online and I believe only 4 units passed reserve. The other problem is condition. No idea about being a runner, all fluids drained, no batteries, most were wet stacked, and they want a...

    MEP-8xx Filters Information

    Howdy, The true correct spin-on fuel/water separator model 85285-F has the water drain attached at the bottom. Most of the aftermarket civilian fuel/water filters do not have the same size fitting at the bottom. So, I do not use the fitting or hose. I do not drain off any water. I use the NAPA...

    Mep-803a not the normal fuel leak from the fuel return line ?

    Howdy, OK, you have the correct line. Did you have any issue with any of the tees? could there be a hairline crack in one of the tees? Since this is the fuel return line. There is not a lot of pressure in the line making it come spraying out. That in itself make it hard to locate the point of...

    New Wheel Nuts...where to get them?

    Howdy, You have the basic spec of the nuts Uniquely shaped threads provide a vibration resistant friction fit, so the nut stays put. These all metal locknuts withstand higher temperatures than nylon insert locknuts. Top thread section is deformed to create two or three locking zones; they start...

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    Howdy, Red Dyed Diesel fuel (off-road diesel)= exact same stuff as any 15PPM ULSD being sold anywhere. It has a special red dye which shows it does not have road TAX paid. This is messing with the tax man. My farm tank is full of red dyed diesel. Used in farm tractors and equipment, and...

    Mep-803a not the normal fuel leak from the fuel return line ?

    Howdy, Its tough to tell with the pictures. Have you replaced all the fuel return line? It looks like there is still some braided line painted green there. Cutting little 1.5 inch pieces between each tee, and all the way down back to the fuel tank.

    MEP 802A vibrates badly and shuts down with low fuel light

    Howdy, Being that the MEP-802A is a 2 cylinder engine. It can vibrate across the floor. I had mine on a pallet, in the back of a pickup truck. The thing really shook around and the lifting rings sounded like bells ringing. After taking it off and placing it on the ground, it was then much...
