Will be curious to see your photos. Mine has since been moved on to another owner. Was in such a sad state I didn't have the time/resources necessary to repair same.

The only thing about bio-diesel in a generator/stand-by power setup is the potential for it to turn back into sludge after it sits unused for a while.

MEP 003 & 002 pans are aluminum so you can not use a magnetic type block heater. There have been some discussions on here about using the dip stick variety in them instead.

I noticed those as well. I came to the conclusion they were inline quick disconnects for an external battery charger. I will be curious to know if I was correct or not.

They do not fit the trays perfectly but I use Group 31 batteries in my set. They were cheap ($75 each) and provide about 95 AH or so with 925 CCA.

Sent a few messages via the popular site as well without any response. Don't feel like you are alone in your lack of communications.

There is a link in his signature that will take you to the classifieds section with pricing etc.

That was what I said. Just trying to figure out what output voltage/frequency they have and if applicable a NSN etc. That way we can try to figure out weight if they are duds.

Can anyone ID these turbine powered generator sets? I have tried for a few hours without any luck. I can't get any model # information at all on these. What are they truthfully worth assuming they are not working?

I am contemplating buying a 20 x 30 military maintenance tent for a semi-permanent storage barn for one of my cars and my tractor/attachments. The idea of a tarp/billboard over the fabric is an idea that I think would make the original fabric last a long time. For the money v/s a metal carport...

I have searched the forum and can't find the answer I need. I know it was posted some time back but I can't find it on here or in the TM's. How much vertical lift in feet/inches can the auxiliary fuel pump on an MEP-003A provide? I was having a discussion and this came up but I can not find the...

Some electricians I work with here in NC who install and maintain generators have told me the NEC says a generator has to run for 15 minutes before re-transfer to utility after it has been restored. This may or may not be correct but I would suggest researching same.

The MEP-003 uses 6TL batteries..

The actual plug is a 60A plug that is made by Hubbell. I found mine on eBay a month or so back. I got both the plug and receptacle for under $75. The male connector, that I will install on my SO extension cable hooked to the generator, is a Hubbell 26419. The receptacle, that is in the...
