Thinking about venting for 55 gal storage drums (what I’ve got), and came across this page. Drierite is interesting stuff, absorbs moisture faster than silica gel (which I use in my gun safes), and can also be reactivated: https://secure.drierite.com/catalog3/page19b.cfm “Regular and...

Chloroprene. From Wikipedia: Neoprene (also polychloroprene or pc-rubber) is a family of synthetic rubbers that are produced by polymerization of chloroprene ALSO from Wikipedia: Nitrile rubber, also known as NBR, Buna-N, and acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, is a synthetic rubber copolymer of...

File under: You pays your money and you takes your chances. Can't find my post on this topic from many months ago, but I'd bought TWO of these from Green Mountain Generators as spares (the update had already been done on my 802a, including the dremel cutout on the frame, but you never know)...

For those of us (you) who like things tidy, less risk of contamination: #10-32 SS hex screw (same as used on genset). Cap was $3.75 (got a 2-fer on the popular auction site for $7.50, shipped) Edit: 10-27-2018 An update to hardware fittings. Being intimately familiar with Murphy’s law, I...

Pretty sure I bought a set of screens from you [thumbzup] - once I had yours, they were pretty easy to copy/make from parts at the big box hdwr store [would've bought locally, mom-pop store I've gone to for 24 years - but I was told they're getting out of the screen making business, had no frame...

Diesel storage, filtration, and handling I got one of these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CTXQZTT/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to put inline with a handcrank rotary pump https://www.zoro.com/great-plains-industries-rotary-pump-123000-06/i/G1564215 or electric...

RTV?Hole's for drainage/airflow. It's about 6 inches across on the 803a (IIRC, didn't measure).

Contemplating using acoustic ceiling tiles (fire-resistant), cut to fit, drill out holes. I’ll post pictures when I figure it out. I DID put some butyl rubber sound/heat dampening stuff (NOICO 80ml) on the top panels and it runs quieter than the 802a. Shoulda done dBa readings, have a meter...

No sooner had I cleaned out the nest, black cherry pit shells and other “stuff” (surprisingly little compared to what was inside the 802a I bought two-plus years ago) from the previous rodent squatters than I scared off a chipmunk who had come up through the drain hole. I’d made a set of...

Yep. Sides and rear (fuel tank end). Part #23 (manual is 642-24P)

MEP-803a insulation, sound controlling blanket did the search engine thing, got the usual 113,405 or so return hits on several different combinations of insulation, 803a insulation, MEP-803a insulation, sound proofing, etc.The insulation inside the cooling exhaust section of the genset is...

Welcome to the madness. I’d suggest going to the HMMWV forum and reading through the several hundred pages of posts on “what did you do to your hmmwv today” to see the kinds of problems that are common, solutions, suggestions, and more. Once you’ve familiarized yourself with that, and are...

Welcome to the madness. Enjoy your ride. Norm

The PDU/box came with the CS whatsit plug already installed, so in making/buying an extension cord for it, I needed the matching female plug and figured while I was at it, I’d make a water/weather-resistant and rodent proof exit for the power connection by replacing the cloth/rope cone...

This was for my new (to me, 233 hours) MEP-803a. With the 802 I was able to tie in a 4500 watt space heater, then a 2000 and/or 5500 watt water heater element in a trash can full of water, but MAN that water gets hot fast. Got to thinking about how I’d run power into the house, backfeed into...

Keep in mind you're more likely to get wet stacking if generator demand is under 25% of rated load, or about 1250watts for an MEP-802a, 2500W for an 803a. I just reread that somewhere in my notes, it's from an FM or TM, maybe a PM magazine, I forget where exactly.

That’s the nice thing about the 802a. About a half gallon an hour at rated output. Do that 12 hours a day (AC, freezer/refrigerator, charge batteries), a fifty gallon drum can last a week - much longer if stretched, managed right. It’s what attracted me to the lower rated TQG in the first...
