RJM27 I am not sure what exact model pump I purchased however I think it was the FAC-476088. I think it was due to the fact the original spec fuel pump used the one with anti-syphon. If I remember correctly pumps in series if they have the anti-syphon feature they can get locked and not send the...

Looking on the Cummings web page the first units were put into limited test and trial use starting in 2011. This included 379 units sent to Afghanistan for extended use trials. They also fielded up to 130 domestically for unit training. So looks like the ones now coming up for auction could be...

If your concerned for the gaskets new ones can readily be purchased from a number of online suppliers. I looked into this several times (my main stopping point is the wife) They also have the ability to adapt the 2" quick connect style fitting to various other sizes, for any number of multiple...

Now I do not have this product so not sure how well it works. It works similar to a nonconducting electric line tester. When it detects power from the utility side of the transfer switch it gives you an alarm...

I have the MEP-003, on mine the control panel has lost some of the clarity of the white lettering on the black background. For my wife I took a label maker and printed new ones that I have put on. That way the control knob points at the label. Its also much larger font. That way she can see it...

When you say your battery indicator is in the yellow, are you saying yellow as in displaying below 24vdc? If this is the case it could be a weak or worn out breaker. Esp if it was pulled and pushed out a lot during its previous life. I see them online not sure of the exact specifications but...

With that setup it might be best to consult an electrician. It's tough to say what to do in your situation with out further information. Some places allow double lugging, this is basically two sets of wires are coming from your meter base and going to two different load centers or breaker...

One thing is to look into the fuel tank. With my MEP-003a it was quite nasty. Full of nasty old yellow diesel fuel. I was able to clean it out and now looks nice and clean. So that could be a good thing to check. I do not know much about the 017 or 018 series but with many engine driven things...

I can not think of an example of a load that would use separate breakers but have one common neutral unless going to a sub panel that has a double breaker and a separate unbounded ground and neutral. There you would have 4 wires 2 hot neutral and ground all going back to your main panel where...

I think the SS braided hose come in two sizes. 1/4 or 3/8. The 1/4 is for the fridge but you can also get 3/8 for a dishwasher hookup. Not sure on the available length but a interesting idea. Should be easy to find an adapter from the NPT to JIC 37°.

Not sure how long you could go, but one thing to think about is the extra weight. It could crack the factory mount and deform the flange and exhaust gasket. If you would need to fabricate an external bracket of some type.

Going back to the original post, I am not sure what that pole is from but its not for your MEP-002a. When I picked up mine it had all kinds of extra goodies that someone sometime had just placed on the trailer. Most was just trash and went to the recycle center, like a gallon bucket of totally...

I am wondering is this just a 28v DC generator or does it also have the 115v 400hz AC power components? (looking back the thread is quite old, I am curious what has transpired since 2009?) Many smaller FBO's may look to acquire a unit for ground power uses. One thing you could use it for is one...

Did you check the oil level? Could it be something as simple as a low oil pressure issue preventing it from starting?

One thing that I have use to verify my MEP-003a is a Kilowatt meeter. http://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU you plug it into the accessory outlet and it can tell you a verity of things. Hertz, voltage, ect. Its a handy little device. This can be a temporary work...
