Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

[dhull]

Hello Ray,

Are these still available? I'm interested in buying a set.

Thanks,

Denver

 

[Chainbreaker]

Yes, I just bought several recently after placing an order & brief fabrication wait.

However, Ray has a full-time job now & unless he made a recent stocking run I believe he will have to schedule time to fabricate a set(s).

PS: They are great quality!

Hi Denver,
I will send you a PM, but Chainbreaker is correct. I do still make them, but my time is a bit more limited lately and I've already sold all of my last batch.
I just need to order more material and make more!

 

[dhull]

Thanks for the replies. I've sent you a PM, Ray.

 

[CARMAN]

Do you have inventory? Will pM

 

[CARMAN]

Another set headed out the door from Ray!! Thanks

 

[Wolfe]

Some excellent work Ray, looks great! I am considering keeping the low hour 002 I have here, and if I do... it will get these. Thanks for your efforts.

Ray70 are you still selling the mep-003a oil filter adapters. Sorry to bust in on this conversation but having problems PMing Ray70 Thank you

Sorry but im too old to figure out how to PM you. Could you please PM me? Thank you!

 

[Guyfang]

You dont have enough posts to PM yet. BUT, try this next time you want someones attention. Write @Ray70 in a post just like I have. This sends Ray a "Nag, (Reminder) that someone is requesting his attention.

Last week I mentioned developing an easy to use spin-on fuel filter adapter for use rather than the the WIX 24470

Here is a look at the first production parts off the CNC machine and mounted on my 002A for your viewing pleasure.

These adapters drop right in place of the original Fram canister housings used on Mep-002a through 005A and maybe 006A ( I don't own one to verify )
They are drilled and tapped on top to utilize the original 3 mounting bolts.
They are tapped on the sides to accept the original 1/4" NPT 90* fittings from your housings.
Even the original fuel lines can be used in multiple different configurations.
You need NOTHING else other than the filters of your choice with a standard 1-14 center thread
The O.D is equal to the outermost Dia. of the Fram housing for exact clearance and will accept every filter with a gasket dimensions between 2.375 ID and 4.0" OD.

This design will eliminate all the plugs and adapters needed when you use the WIX 24470 as well as needing to fabricate an ugly angle bracket.View attachment 826545View attachment 826546View attachment 826547View attachment 826548
It will also eliminate the potential leaks associated with the center bolt and canister gasket on the original Fram housing

You only need a 9/16" socket and a 5/8" wrench to do the entire conversion and it takes 15-20 minutes to retrofit a machine.

Simplest way to install is to remove the input line from your original water separator. remove the outfeed line at the 90* elbow next to the check valve.

Remove the 3 bolts attaching the original mount to the frame and lift out the entire filter canister / bracket assembly.

Remove the remaining hoses and the 3 bolts attaching each of the 3 housings to the bracket.

Remove the 90* fittings from 2 of your original housings.

Use thread sealer or Teflon tape and install the 90* fittings into the new Spin on adapters.

Mount the new adapters to the bracket in your preferred location using the original 3/8" bolts, being mindful of flow direction and your preferred hose routing.

Reattach the jumper hose between housings and the outfeed hose to the output of the last housing.

Remount the entire bracket assembly to the generator frame using the original 3 bolts.

Reattach the infeed and output hoses.

Spin on your favorite fuel filters and / or fuel water separator.

Stand back, admire your work and enjoy!

Once I upgrade my SS membership I will create a Classifieds ad. Until then feel free to PM for more info.View attachment 826545View attachment 826546View attachment 826547View attachment 826548

Where can I purchase the kit? @Ray70

 

[Ray70]

I'll send you over a private message. Looks like you are too new to be able to send a PM yourself.

I recently purchased two fuel filter spin on adapters and a oil filter spin on adapter from Ray. Installation was easy and uneventful following Ray's instructions. I ran my MEP002a under load after the install and the generator ran perfectly. These spin on adapters are a great upgrade to the MEP002a and the adapters were perfect. Thanks Ray, these are highly recommended!

Interesting, it seems the PM system doesn't recognize you.
Perhaps @patracy of @Guyfang can assist?
