Mep803A Auxiliary fuel tank

[Denvercaitland]

Found a 73 us gallons reefer tank. Built a stand so I could load on a trailer with the skidsteer when needing refills. Quick disconnect before the pump for the 803 and quick disconnect after the pump for fuel nozzle. Put about 60hrs on the set so far. Aux pump kick in at 1/4 tanks and shuts off at 3/4 as it should. Fun fabrication project.

A few additional details in case it's of help/interest.

The 803 batteries are set up inside the shop, so to power the aux tank fuel pump I wired an external plug ( to one battery for 12v), using an extension I can connect to the outlet on the pump box. ( common plug , so extension can easily be adapted to be fed by car/equipment battery)

On the output side of the pump I put a quick disconnect for the fuel nozzle ( basic gear pump 3.7 gpm, but sufficient for refueling the skidsteer).

More complicated than it needs to be, but suits my needs and was a fun project
