I'm seeking help finding a replacement Yanmar fuel tank for my MED-016D that has the hole in the bottom for the aux tank pump float switch. I've found a number online (counterfeit and OEM) but from the pics there is no hole in the bottom. Thanks for any help!

Anyone know anyone who sells parts for the MEP-016D - specifically the aux fuel system? My 016 has a belly tank that has hole in in it - right on the molding seam - more like a split. Also, the petcock on the aux fuel system seems frozen. Finally, the water/sediment separator glass globe is...

So, I have read the manual. Further, I am comfortable with basic household wiring tasks, to include the current setup of my 016D - which I wired up for the power whip. The issue is that this is an order of magnitude higher, maybe not much, but enough where I figured I should ask versus going...

I have a MEP-16D which I currently have still setup for my old home (rental) - to provide only 120v on a whip I put together. We would use this power during winter emergencies to run space heaters, some lights, and charge phones for periods of time from 4 to 72 hours. Our *new* house (we just...

I pulled the T2 transformer before the replies to this thread - not a big deal since it was straight forward. It tested out with an VOM (set to ohms) per the TM. H side is 148 (serviceable range 155 +/- 15) and X side is 18. (Serviceable range 18.8 +/- 1.88) I'll check out the pot as...

I purchased a MEP-002 a few months ago and the seller did not disclose the it had a voltage output issue. (In all fairness they might not have known…) Anyhow, when the genset is setup for 120v/1phase it is outputting 140 volts. I opened a thread on this a few months ago and was advised to...

My GL acquired MEP-016D runs fine and is generating electricity as expected. Now that I am up to speed on basics, I’m starting to expand my going over the system and have turned to looking at the aux fuel tank setup. My 16D has an underbelly plastic fuel tank that can feed the smaller red tank...

Thanks Jim. I wasn't sure if you minded that I posted your PM and got wrapped up in something here at work before I could ask you. Ike, my next step will be as you are suggesting. Jamawieb also mentioned it earlier in this thread and I believe he stated lead 17 - but I have not verified in TM...

Well - by way of an update, my issue with the MEP-002A doesn’t look like it is going to be one that will be easy (for me) to fix :-( I was really hoping for the POT adjustment to be the resolution, or (less desirable - but at least easily solvable with $) would be a bad regulator which, after a...

Thanks - fired up and getting heat as we speak. The heater has a selector switch for 750 or 1500 watts. I'm running 750 and it's plenty warm. I just picked up the MEP016D last week and just got it running Saturday. I was really worried about tearing it up.

Well, it figures. Haven't been able to pull together an extension cord off the power lugs yet and power just went out in ~30 degree weather. Will it hurt my mep016D to run a 1500 watt space heater off the convenience outlet? have read some threads where this is a no-no on larger units, but...

Now that my MEP016D is up and running, I’d like to fabricate an extension cable that will run about 40 feet into my home to distribute the power. I’d like to verify the following assumptions and ask for help on how this should be broken out. I’ll be running the Genset in single phase/120v...

Cool - thanks!

I'm a complete noob. This is what I dug up, any relation? (pg 6-8 of TM 5-6115-584-34) 6-6. VOLTAGE REGULATOR. a. Test, on Equipment. (1) Operate set at rated load and adjust output voltage as follows: (a) Refer to figure 6-5 (or 6-5.1) and turn adjustment screw on resistor R15 (or R16)...
