Good luck on the Epic multi-country recovery! With recent bankruptcy of Hostess, you might have paid for trip by hauling down truckload of Twinkies from Canada to be sold on Ebay to USA crazies . . . . news showed them selling for $30 a box! KS town of Emporia will be losing 700 jobs unless...

Thanks so much to Speddmon, Ike, Sewerzuk, JBK, Storeman, etc. for sharing all your experiences and knowledge. You guys are awesome! I've spent last 2 days reading EVERY post on MEP-002a and MEP-003a so some of this info swimming around upstairs . . . . it was around 29 pages of 20 posts per...

Was it ever resolved if MEP-002a and MEP-003a gensets that Sewerzuk had troubles with air compressors (or other large hard start loads in 240v) had actual breaker problems or required "adjustment" of some kind? I'd hoping that MEP-002a that I plan to purchase will handle my 3 ton A/C for house...

Question about wet stacking. When a water cooled genset like MEP-802a is ran with light load, and/or just periodically ran, couldn't you just run a small batch of "fuel w/ cleaner additive" like Sea Foam every now and then? Does Sea Foam bust up carbon in a diesel like it does for gas engines?

So if I've got this right, powering "camper" setup would be wired particular way on MEP-002a lugs running in 120v 1 ph mode to get all the capacity of MEP-002a (ie thru 30A cord 120v to camper)? Curious if this could handle running say 13,000 Btu A/C in camper (along with other uses in camper on...

Reviving old thread for same question that seemed unanswered. What wiring setup with 30 amp RV camper cord for 120v from the MEP-002a work to handle all the OP needs? Surely if MEP-002a can power a whole house, it can power a camper? So this needs to be heavy duty cord hardwired to lugs on...

Curious also whether the exhaust on MEP-002a could have some sort of muffler installed if flow wasn't inhibited too much? I'm looking to use MEP-002a as backup whole house generator with interlock on my main electrical panel. Thus, would install MEP-002a on concrete pad behind house like...

Great thread concerning auxillary fuel source. Would like to do similar gravity feed setup for 55 gallon drum of extra diesel for MEP-002a (typical setup). Chris your setup is innovative if it all works out. Keep us posted!
