    MEP 802a Fuel Drain not draining

    How much work you want to put in? The absolute best result is pulling the tank and pressure washing... but you need to pull the radiator and all metal above the tank to do that (as well as the items in the tank). Acetone or similar may do what you want, can take a plastic brush and stick your...

    MEP803A Brass Terminal Nut

    The nonconductive wrenches do appear on ebay and elsewhere from time to time. Just have to chunk a few inches off the rope end to make them way less annoying to use.

    I believe I have all three as good takeouts. The AC ones aren't cheap, but such is life. We can discuss by PM if you want.

    MEP 802a Fuel Drain not draining

    Or unhook the hard line at the primary pump and fab up a short hose from the outbound side of the pump, into the container of your choosing. No sense in recreating the wheel. The tank is HDPE or similar.

    I read it that hes trying to drain the tank bulkhead.

    Mep-003a water/weather rating

    They were designed to be run anywhere Uncle Sam chose to go, as-is. With that said, anything you want to do to make its life in retirement better, I am sure it won't complain.

    MEP 802a Fuel Drain not draining

    Might be plugged by mud wasps... not uncommon. Got anything small you can run into the drain line? Its just a bulkhead fitting that goes behind the battery and to the drain plug on the tank. Could be trash in your tank too, that has settled onto the backside of the fitting in the tank...

    Don't know if you have mud wasps where you are, but they will fill that drain port unless you block it when not in use.

    To retain the nut that might come loose ( so it doesn't vibrate off the stud), as well as to be a hindrance to putting a tool on the lug. At least that's how I see it.

    You can't just Rain Man that list and the answer spits out like a rainbow after a rain storm? :ROFLMAO:

    Mep-803a performance - power outage.

    Agreed with both above. With that said, the working envelope on the 1030 sucks to me on everything past belt changes compared to the 802.

    MEP-8xx oil draining info

    1/2-14. The stock plug that goes into that drain hole I believe accepts the square shank of a 3/8" socket (though I feel like over the years I've also had machines in with an Allen wrench hex on the inside).

    Best source for MEP-804A/B parts

    Sorry I have two control panel assemblies, and it seems I have robbed this part off both already. @CallMeColt do you have a switch you might want to part with?

    I think I might have one, untested, in my parts stash, out of an 802.
