The system which powers the aux fuel pump has a low level turn on, and high level shutoff. 1/2 a tank won't activate either. If you get below a quarter tank, you will hear it kick on at some point, in the PRIME + AUX setting. I don't recall the exact level (it can actually be manipulated, by...

If anyone is looking for the fuel drum aux fuel assemblies, they are listed in the Classified section here: https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/5342-00-066-1235-universal-milspec-bung-adapter-and-2-brass-sections-for-aux-fuel-kit-for-mep-generators.208044/

I am not familiar with these sets, but I would be willing to put money on the fact that its a very similar setup.

All the sets Ive seen have that adapter on a chain as part of the wrap.

Source 5/16 JIC instead... same thing, just a higher tolerance for the AN part... exactly the same otherwise.

The adapter for the NATO style jerry can is found here: Jerry can adapter with fuel line

Yes, AN5 is equivalent to 5/16 JIC. I would personally find a step down threaded adapter (they are available online) to do what you want. That way you can always take it off if you need to run the OEM hose.

For casual use, it will probably work just fine. The down rod is immersed in the fuel, so the seal on the drum isn't that big of a deal... whether the seep hole in the adapter or a slight air leak at the bung adapter... so long as the down pipe is in fuel, its gonna pull.

If you move quick, you can get a used adapter on the cheap (and source your own threaded red brass pipe) https://greenmountaingenerators.com/product/military-fuel-drum-adapter-nsn-2910-00-066-1235/

You need to start a new thread on this topic.

For stationary use, you should be OK as the fuel will still suck through the line and through the copper fuel shaft submerged. With that said, I might have the top with rubber washer, that is missing parts, that I could part with. Let me rummage through the garage tomorrow, and I will circle back.

I like that... would have thought they put one on OEM. Oh well, nice upgrade.

Yup, a takeoff of an old German design. Guyfang has talked about the roots of this in a previous post somewhere if you were interested in searching. But they are great cans regardless!

And if anyone is looking to get NATO cans at a real good price (and be authentic Wavians): http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/GJC20 They are of course for legality reasons (they are sold without spouts) for POTABLE WATER USE ONLY.... but deduce their complete range of liquid holding capabilities...

Wavians are NATO style.... Scepter are the 2" round style. If you have already invested in the Wavians... instead of using the bung adapter, just run the fuel hose into the can, and let it suck while submerged in the fuel. I personally use Wavians for my normal cans (but have 55g drums for my...

Yes, the handle on the bung adapter squeezes the seal outwards when articulated.... taking up the space. The fuel can adapter at the very top post should look identical to what you have?
