Oooops. I should shut up now!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I got three or four sections of this hose when I purchased my laundry unit. It feed the water heater and the dryer unit with fuel.Get some more coffee, Kenny! (or Mt Dew)
Has anyone looked at the TM? It probably shows the hose set up....
I measured the length of hose on my adapter assembly and it measures slightly over 25 feet in length. There is a metal tag on the hose that is difficult to read from the photo below, but the text is as follows:Yeah DH, TM 5-6115-585-24P figure 17 shows the auxiliary fuel hose assembly. No length listed, but the fittings are the removable screw-on type fittings as I suspected. And the hose itself is most definitely hydraulic hose with a fiber outer braid (MIL-H-8794-5). Attached is a PDF I found about the hose, page 11 has a table on it that lists the construction and pressure ratings of the hose.
"stainless steel exhaust tubing extensions"I got three or four sections of this hose when I purchased my laundry unit. It feed the water heater and the dryer unit with fuel.
A couple of my hoses appear to have been replaced as one uses an automotive hose clamp to secure the fitting to the hose.
My last Mep-003a came with the drum adaptor, two sections of metal tubing, the stainless steel exhaust tubing extensions, as well as a grounding rod kit.

What is that? Pics?
That looks like a very nice setup. I plan to do something similar. I was going to neck up to larger flex, such as 2-inch, to minimize the potential backpressure problem, but now it sounds like this isn't much of a concern. From the fourth photo it looks like you might be cooking your tire with the exhaust. I'm sure this is an optical illusion.I did the same thing when I mounted my MEP-003a on a stripped lube/servicing trailer. I snagged some 1 1/4" (the exhaust pipes are 1 1/4" NPT) stainless braided hoses from work, and ran them down under the trailer deck. Supposedly the laundry trailers have reportedly had up to 12 feet of extensions on them when recovered by members, so the 3 feet I added on is nothing to the generator.
I think it's the same "optical illusion" that makes me look short and fat, in pictures!
Where can I get the quick connect fitting? I have those adapters for my MFC's but I want to be able to connect to mutiple generators.New style gravity feed adapters for Plastic fuel cans..

You can get these on ebay.
