I don't use the stock separator on the machines I go through. I cut and remove the drip line and replace with a Napa Gold 3472:

Have not experienced a failure after the sale with this filter. I can say though that I have had very sporadic failures of the...
I just ran some sheet metal screws through the outside of the case and located it in place, and painted it to match in place. I'll see if I can find a photo (I no longer have that machine).
Edit:
Which makes sense, but I've had machines that were less trailer (that had trailer accessories) and machines on trailers (that were added secondarily)... grab bag when it comes to surplus.
Hows sunny Deutschland Guy... you all feeling the same heat the folks in the UK and elsewhere are fighting?
Some units come with a right angle elbow, Ive had a few over the years in trailer sets especially. The thread is an NPT, so any black iron fitting you like should fit.
Here is a MOV that will work, for a real fair price: https://www.arrow.com/en/products/mov-14d151k/bourns
Edit: Arrow used to give free overnight shipping for any order. Looks like they changed that. Oh well, still a real good price if freight isn't too bad.
Depending on how often you trailer, if the surge is giving you fits there is a cross hole through it that you can use a long bolt through to 'lock out' the brakes (especially handy if you are trying to back the thing up an incline...). I wouldn't use less than Grade 8 personally for the bolt...

You have no fuel
The set THINKS you have no fuel
As you say you have fuel in it, great! So that leaves two components... the fuel sending unit (ie...
But to answer your question for future searchers... Southern Surplus has them on the big auction site for under $10 each. "Onan 186-6148 Plain Oil Seal NSN 5330-01-358-5554 Military Generator MEP-803A" Is the search term to get you to exactly where you want.
Edit: I see they list for over...
Jimmy... as luck would have it, I bought two seals (one 6 months ago, and one a month ago to replace the one I lost... turns out my wife just hides things real well "for me"). PM me your address and I'll send it down as a thank you for that gasket.
I just got done with a front oil seal replacement on an 802... I left the entire front end together and just unbolted along the bottom edges and slowly took the entire radiator end out in a single piece. I feared with the sheer amount of fasteners, that misalignment was almost assured. Glad I...
