The hook up is pretty much up to the code of where you are...I did the entire house setup with a manual switch outside...that means I needed a 200 amp switch since the house is setup for a 200 amp service and had to match even though I'm only pushing 52 amps at 220...I think the 802 does 37 amps...

I don't know what a ibc is but I just did the line to my aux fuel a few weeks ago...JIC size was 6 if I remember right...I got it from my local hydraulics company, had a line made up to go right on. I took the cap that covers the aux line when not in use to the store. I'm not sure florida has...

Your dads right for sure...typically it's not the coolant but the water used to mix it...if you change coolant a lot it won't matter much but something that sits, like these gensets, with a charged up set of batteries wreaks havoc on aluminum parts...making sure you have good clean low...

I don't know the part numbers and obviously you have a paper copy of the tm and need parts 3,4 and 5...any chance you looked at the online tm available in this site? If you can't find it I can try to look them up in the tm online here...not sure if you have easy access or not. I'd check the...

So I'm not sure if I got the number from his post but it looks like, according to it, I did get the correct fuel line. Brand and part number. Thanks for verifying! Rich. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I'm not sure if it's exactly stock by the TM...but it is the spec size of 3.5mm inside diameter with the mesh outer and diesel use...I couldn't find that size anywhere but online...there's a pic of the company I bought it from, a post 1 January. Mine got shipped out of Baltimore but I think they...

Took 2 weeks but I finally got the return fuel line in the mail!! Took all that time to come from Baltimore 45 minutes north to here! The nitrile fuel return seals look like they should work fine. I will be going at this repair tomorrow!

That's good news!! Weird thing to have disconnected though. Hope it works good now.

click on my link to my thread....middle pic of the VR,,,,to the left is a fuse...it is hooked to the quad pin 8 the other wire came off pin 8 originally.

Well if you have other 803s then I guess you can swap one...just see if they have the fuse added to it...then swap that too...hate to burn up another one! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Ok then the genset should charge the batteries then...does the 24 volt load gauge read high when started then go to 0 volts or so after about 10 minutes? If you don't have the fuse at the vr then you got some diag to play with..like adding the fuse and possibly a new vr...if you go through my...

The one fuse is called the FU1 and the other hooked to the VR is a modification that I think is called the quad winding fuse...there's more to that but I would have to search it up....I think it is a sticky in the genset opening page.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-803a-getting-it-to-work-my-first-one.197416/#post-2302349 I am not sure if this link will work or if you have to copy and paste it...the first post has pics of my set with fuses showing behind the gauge set. Yes the TM are different from what I...

So I'm kinda new to the 803 life but have been working on mine since June I think...mine started out the same way as it did not make ac power, did not read on the big ac gauge up on the right on the cluster....it did charge the batteries though...so what one smart guy told me to check was when I...

Sounds like you've done this before!! joking...pretty obvious you have done this before! Glad you have an outlet to get batteries that work well and not that expensive! I got agms for my one genset and were 160 each! 800cca car battery size...Having the set there and ready to go into...

Parts/spares are very slowly making it's way here! USPS is overwhelmed. Hopefully get the return line and the other few things I ordered. I have 2 main fuel filter water separators...I assume the one on the genset has not been changed...I usually see a marker with a date written on it...I may...

Glad you got this to work!! I have had a decent success with doing this to batteries over the years...I had my meter smoke out a few months ago, had it for about 20 years though...can't beat a good fluke 88...I would use the batteries in whatever you're going to sell...unless you work new ones...

So I got the new gauge the other day which is exactly the same as the one I burned up! Thanks Light man!! Does it work?? Yes...the gauge reads a touch under full...the sending unit resistance wire is now at 56 ohms when it was 20 ohms before I took out the sender...I haven't run the fuel down...

That looks like a nice fix for sure!! I already have these on the way...I hope to not have trouble and hope they last a long time!

That is a very nice tail gate!!
