    DRASH (GETT) Modification Discussion

    The 803s have a small filter in front of each pump. Check to see if you have a filter and if it's plugged.

    MEP 803A & 802A trailer mounting rails

    I had a project where I wanted to match the 2-1/2" hat channels on a generator trailer. Could not find hat channels anywhere but I did find some 2-1/2" square x 1/4" thick aluminum tube in .... Salt Lake City......http://metalremnants.com/ . Was not particularly cheap, but they had something...

    My new M1102 chassis trailer

    Anyone know what those chassis trailers are designed for? The generator trailers I bought had the front light boxes lowered so deck was flat. Rear lights were in the wheel fenders. Nice trailer.....collection!!

    MEP-803a "click" no start

    I would start with contact cleaner and exercising switches. S1 for sure and S6, too.

    MEP 802 suddenly stops running

    Oh, man. I thought you'd be wandering - perhaps with a knee cart - around the beer gardens by now. Getting old, especially with injuries, sucks!!

    Posible fuel leak or overflow?

    I overfilled my tank once and ended up with a puddle dribbling out of the fuel tank compartment and into the motor area. If your fuel tank was full and you tilted it for more than a few seconds that may be your leak source. On an 802 (more vibration than an 803) I had a leak on the valve...

    Fuel storage, 55 gal drum, vent adapter, moisture trap, drieriete

    Wonder if "Motor Guard DD1008-2 Mini Desiccant Filter, 2-Pack" would work as a desiccant breather? $16 for 2 at Amazon. However, they are designed as a paint sprayer filter / water / oil remover. 1/4" NPT connections.

    Fuel storage, 55 gal drum, vent adapter, moisture trap, drieriete

    We used something like this for breathers on extruder gear boxes where I used to work. https://www.agmcontainer.com/drum-vent-dryer The plastic housing for the dessicant had a 3/4" pipe thread molded into it that made connection quite easy.

    M105a2 advise

    You are from GA. 2 trips in the truck should work. That said, I was surprised to see a UPS tractor pulling 3 trailers in OH a couple weeks ago. I have seen doubles, but the triple surprised me.

    MEP-8xx S1 and S6 switch variations

    I think you are good to go. My MEP-803A has the Electroswitch 31907LW installed. I never noticed that it was a 7 position switch in a 6 position mount, but it is. NSN searches show it as used in an 804A but appears to be used in many others. Switch Search...

    Jerry can fuel pickup adapter and hose for Wavian / NATO cans

    What search terms do I use to find those kits? They look like a complete set.....except for that one fitting.

    Mel-831a Fuel gauge

    Some gauges have lights in them some do not. You will need to investigate the details of the particular gauge. In my experience (802 & 803) the light you need will be 24 volts like the gauges. My Faria gauges had the lights in the gauges, just not used. My Datcon gauges did not have a light...

    I've used this outfit for fittings to assemble fuel lines. https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/product_p/3-05545.htm Kind of a pain in the rear to wade through their search results, though.

    forgive me for i have sinned !

    I love that transport unit: looks like the generator just about filled it up!!! And I think it's too clean a unit to paint. The thing looks brand new....surprised it's a '96. More surprised that Generac doesn't have the specific documents for it on their website. Post pics when you get it...

    forgive me for i have sinned !

    I corrected my earlier post's attachment: you may have a generac industrial SD015/2.4L/15kW generator. Can't find diddly for it but they have a similar model...the RD01523 that has a lot of info here...
