Do a search for "LMS Lichfield LTD jerry can adapter with fuel pipe". It includes everything except the fuel can and the -4 to -5 fitting.

Hello, I recently found a place that was selling auxiliary fuel kits for NATO style fuel cans. The kits come with a hose, adapter-lid and pickup tube with a screen. Here's the adapter-lid. It has a small vent hole that is open to the atmosphere, so I'm not sure how this would do in a moist...

Here's a link to the thread on lighting the gauges on an 802/803: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?152783-MEP-802A-803A-gauge-lighting Post #18 talks about the parts needed to add a socket and bulb, if not already present.

I've had good luck going to my local hydraulic shop and having them make custom hoses.

Looks good! Might have to give that a try.

Looks good! That fine screen should keep all of the critters out. There are a few more holes on the bottom. There's a square hole under the engine block, and a round hole under each battery. Some folks also cover the holes for the coolant drain hose and the fuel/water separator drain hose.

Thanks for the kind words! I wrote those instructions with the assumption that my father-in-law (late 70's) or my mother (not overly mechanical) would be the ones venturing out in lousy weather to restore power. They are good at following directions, but in that situation they'd likely already...

Do you by chance mean the frequency (hertz) is dropping as the load (amps) increases? It's fairly typical for the frequency to drop a little as the load increases. Many folks will set the frequency around 61 or 62 hertz (no load) so that it's closer to 60 hertz when a larger load is being...

Look inside the inlet connector above the bottom center pin. It should have a number like one of these: 32-12 ( 60 amps, 5 pins) 44-12 (100 amps, 8 pins) 52-12 (200 amps, 8 pins).

Quick Instruction Sheet Here's a quick instruction sheet I put together for the 802/803's at my parent's and in-law's. Those setups include an aux tank and a variety of receptacles, but the essentials should be the same. Feel free to use/edit/share.

Got any pictures of those plastic containers? I picked up an 002 a couple months back. It's clean and complete on the outside, but the inside of the fuel tank is nasty. The filler neck, strainer, and bottom of the tank are covered in some white-ish crud that smells like varnish.

If you don't have a vehicle stout enough to pull the 805 and it's trailer, you'd be better off loading it on a trailer with brakes, or paying someone to haul it. Personally, I wouldn't want to cross any mountains with something that large, so I'd be looking for multiple shipping quotes. You...

I did something similar with a 30a outlet on an 802 a while back. Here's a link to that post: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?159003-Adding-a-240V-30A-outlet-to-an-802A&p=1925067&highlight=#post1925067

There should be enough room to run the wires below the storage box.

The Racor R12T filter works pretty well. It is also used as the primary filter & water separator on 831's. I believe the filter base is Racor # 120AT. Personally, I like to keep things simple, so I bought a filter base (Donaldson P560382) that uses the same filters as the primary fuel filter &...

So is the wifi board on the generator powered by the genset's batteries or does it have it's own power source?

I haven't tried running kerosene in my 802 or 803's yet, but I've got a few gallons in storage in case we get a really cold winter (it'll flow to roughly -40°). The machines are rated to burn JP-8, which is a kerosene based jet fuel. I've read that kerosene has slightly less energy per gallon...

Looking good! Don't forget to ground your set.

Have you tried looking on ebay for a MEP generator parallel cable? Also, you might have better luck by starting a new thread.

There is a small strainer/filter between the aux pump and the aux inlet fitting. Any chance that is plugged? Edit: Just checked my 831. It has a Hastings Filters GF27 In-Line Fuel Filter.
