    MEP-802/803 Filters and Parts

    It comes with bowl to housing gasket. I ordered several packs of the other gaskets from Rock Auto to have on hand. Seems like every unit has at least one of the bolt to bowl gaskets that are shot.

    803a vibration

    Thanks everyone. I will not have a chance to work on it for a bit but will keep you updated. I do have a thermometer to set injection pumps. I have only had to adjust one unit so far. I'll check temp on exhaust manifold and try that first. I have not put any sort of load on it yet. I ran it for...

    803a vibration

    I went through a unit today that I picked up at auction a couple months ago. It is an 2010 803a with only 10 hours on it. Paperwork inside shows it was a national guard unit so it was never ran. Only repairs shown were battery charging and repair to one door they dented up so it wouldn't latch...

    what this plate means

    I picked up a couple for parts. Not sure if either still have pumps left or not though

    what this plate means

    Jamawieb beat me to it. I don't think this pump will work for you. It will not pump continuously with power to it.

    Battery Apology

    I've been buying Delco group 34 batteries for $60 each plus core. I talked to a local supplier and told him I needed about 20 of them in increments of 2. He gave me a really good deal valid every time I come in for 2 more.

    MEP Fuel gauge

    That's the one I used also. Works with the stock sending unit.

    MEP Fuel gauge

    Also, I had one miswired in the exact same way as Capeprep. Took me a couple hours to trace the wiring down and figure out what they did. Since then I've found two more with the same bad hookup. Seems to be a common mistake on someone's part!

    MEP Fuel gauge

    I used a VDO gauge in a couple of mine. $30 and it works perfectly.

    803 fuel filler rubber gasket

    PVC is rated excellent when checking compatibility with diesel fuel.

    803 fuel filler rubber gasket

    Not real sure. It doesn't really get wet with diesel. It is more of a dust and dirt gasket. The filler neck fits down inside the tank so the metal on the filler neck shoots the fuel past where this rubber goes. It is certainly better than nothing, which is how I got one unit in recently.

    803 fuel filler rubber gasket

    I didn't use the metal band part, but the rubber on this works perfectly to connect the fuel filler neck to the tank. I've had three units that the rubber was crumbling on lately and this makes a perfect replacement in stock locally.

    803 fuel filler rubber gasket

    I didn't trim the length at all on 3007-44. At least we have alternatives to finding military stuff!

    Fernco part# 3007-44

    803 fuel filler rubber gasket

    It looks like that only in 4". The metal band slips right off and use the hose clamps just like normal.

    803 fuel filler rubber gasket

    Just thought I'd let the group know about a fix I found today for the fuel fill rubber that seems to be rotted on some of these. A fernco fitting, 4" cast iron to 4" copper, works perfect to replace these. Probably won't find this one in the box stores, but it can be picked up at any plumbing...

    MEP-8xx S1 and S6 switch variations

    That was the info I was looking for. I think I will take the metal ones and move them into my personal 803a and install version 2 in the other

    MEP-8xx S1 and S6 switch variations

    I wouldn't think anything would be any newer than what was installed on a 2011 machine. As far as I know they were only produced until 2012. Anyone seen anything newer than 2012? I've only seen one unit labeled as a 12 and I've looked at several hundred newer ones at the auctions
