MEP-804A/B fuel float switch replacement - non-existent??

[grywitt]

Thank for the info grywitt.

Is your float design for a MEP803? I'm asking because I thought the tank on my MEP802 was only six inches deep.

It is for an 804A/B I thought that's what this thread was about. Yes BTW you can just unplug the float switch and it will not shut down on low fuel. You can run the generator out of fuel though.

802 and 803 have different length switches, yes. You can disconnect the switch and jump (2) pins together for now. The pins were just covered in a recent thread.

If for any reason you are unable to access the switch, the nuclear option would be to use the battle short to have it ignore that fault... just know it ignores all faults at that point. Only use if you really have to, for as short an amount of time, as you have to.

Thanks guys.

Yes, grywitt original thread was about MEP804..

I may contact your guys and see what a 5.5" part would cost.

I talked to Pete at Liquid Level today. He is going to get me a quote for a single 5.5" float switch.

Also, contacted Green Mountain to see if they had an estimate for restocking the original float switch. They do not have an estimate but said they may be able to find a single float replacement. Waiting on their reply to my email.

Thanks again grywitt for the information.
