MEP 802A - Using auxiliary fuel connection

This is a simple process but when I was first looking into surplus generators, I couldn't find much on exactly how it worked. Figured I would make a video showing it. This process is very similar on almost all military generators.
Since making this video, I started selling a kit to adapt & make your own line for doing this! Check it out here;

Thanks brother. Proud new owner of a MEP-1040 and needed this support.

Those look like interesting units.

Fyi it actually runs cooler with all hatches closed. Thanks for the video. I didnt know how the fueling worked.

[@philstreeter9703]

Great video. Thanks

Glad it was helpful

Thanks. I learned how to import remote fuel. Good job.

Thank you, glad you found it helpful.

I see these on Ebay all the time for some really good prices. Damn tough generator and great for backup power.

As long as you get everything going 100% they are!

they sell on govplanet.com. 803A(10KW) Brand new about $5-6k (less than 50 hrs). I picked up one with about 100 hrs for $3k with the trailer. Still had sticker on it indicating prices was over $25K. Outstanding value for a tough machine. I have no idea why the gov't is selling so many of these.

@@minionman6177 They've moved away from the MEP platform and onto the AMMPS platform for generators.

@@minionman6177 would love to pick up a unit like the one you got.

Is the auxiliary fuel system (external tank) connected to the main tank? Does it only refill the main tank or is it a completely separate system with a separate (auxiliary) pump?

[@CallMeColtLLC]

At 4:54 , that is what I was talking about, it refilling the tank. Also at 3:55 I talk about the two different pumps.

[@maciejciesielski3370]

@@CallMeColtLLC I see. Thank you. Looking at the diagram (FUEL SYSTEM DIAGRAM), it turns out that MEP cannot operate only on an external tank. I can only refill the main tank from the external one, manually turning on the additional pump every 7-10 hours. Do I understand correctly?

Looking for a unit like this for off grid power to add to a 48 volt Schneider 6848 inverter system

[@CallMeColtLLC]

I have one for sale, not sure of your location. These are a great option for an off grid application that has a battery bank. With a simple add-on, they can be remotely controlled & set to be turned on automatically if called for by a charger. ebay.us/jFvvLc

Sir how clear coolant hi temperature cod

[@CallMeColtLLC]

Not sure what you are asking? If it has a high temperature, that means it is overheating.
