Andy,

One of my MEP-003a's had the fuel pumps replaced by the military before I bought it, they used Facet pumps. Here is a link to the Facet-Purolator website. On the bottom of the page is all of the 24 volt models. The 24 volt models come with transient voltage protection, so they are pretty good little pumps. They have a removable/cleanable filter inside the pump, and they are really pretty nice pumps. I'm sure you can find any number of civilian suppliers to get the proper one for you.

The ones on the MEP are fitted with 1/4-18 NPT inlets/outlets, so you only need to pick a model with the proper inlet/outlet size.

I hope this helps, unless you are dead set on having NOS military pumps.

Andy, I have one. I dont know what it is worth yet. I just today started dissassembling my parts unit (mep 003a) to part it out.

I do know it works because I had the motor running for a couple hours.

I am starting a new thread to list what I have for sale.

Thanks.

I looked at their website, NAPA can get them for you, PEP boys, O'reilly's and Car Quest are all dealers for them.

Glad to be of assistance

I have some for sale here - With photos -

They look to be recently replaced because they are not painted with the Generator. I had it running so they all work. I never hooked up the AUX but it made its clicking sound when the switch was in that position.

My MEP stopped pumping fuel at the wrong time during a recent outage. Got it running by switching the lines over to the aux pump. I guess both of them are fubar. But to the point--I have Facet model # 40 128E pumps, and am getting them from NAPA. NAPA # P74016. $53 and change.

I recently had to deal with a dead fuel pump on a generator (not a MEP), the Facet pumps are ok, but if you really need it to work go with a Walbro 6000 series or its new replacement the FR series. These are the brand of pumps you find on Thermo King refrigeration units as well as many other places where $$$ are riding on the pump working day in and day out.

I haven't had any luck locating either the 40128E or the 480563 pumps, the facet tells me napa doesn't carry them and NAPA says there is no P74016 in there system.
Facet sent me to J&N auto in OH and they priced at 258.00 ea, ouch.

Any cross reference help would be appreciated.

Also, can I use a pump that says 1/4 18 npt "INT" as opposed to the "EXT" , can I make it work with just some extra connections.
Thanks,
Dave

I like Aircraft Spruce for some stuff:

I called Facet/Purolator sales in NY, those stores listed (napa, pep boys, ect)are for the other parts they make, the 480517 (.mil specific) is the oem for the gensets and is only available thru 3 different distribtors (198.00-258.00 ea.)

I haven't been able to cross ref.

NAPA doesn't show NAPA # P74016 as a valid part number, I checked online and called my local guy.

Did you ever get them?

 

[derf]

Then you are probably looking at $200+.

 

[derf]

Or, this.
Go to Napa and put in the part # P74016. It comes up with a universal for $56.

 

[EnteJager]

I know what I looking at, as stated in the other posts, 195-258.00,

that is why I am trying to get info from those who have found them for 53.00

or who may have info on a good cross reference or replacement.

thanks.

Then you are probably looking at $200+.

 

[derf]

I went to napaonline.com, put "p74016" in the search box, and it came up with a $56 universal pump. Is that not what you seek?

 

[EnteJager]

I found a pump that might work, does the 1/4 18 EXT vs the 1/4 18 INT make a difference?
Thanks,
Dave

P74016 appears to be a Carter part number for a universal 24V fuel pump.
