    MEP 802 or 803

    I can report that I've tested a 802 at my home and it runs my 3T heatpump with no problems. The total running amps for the unit is around 16-17 amps (compressor and fans). Your mileage may vary.

    Remote fuel tank for mep802a

    I've been traveling so I've not been able to answer the question. Yea, something like a redhat solenoid valve with a 24v coil would work.

    Remote fuel tank for mep802a

    If you are going for an on/off valve you can choose a solenoid valve and wire it to the AUX fuel pump.

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    I'm going to cross reference the connectors to the MIL spec pinout diagrams at the link below. Hopefully they are there. http://www.cooperindustries.com/content/dam/public/wiringdevices/interconnect/Resources/Literature/Eaton_D38999_Series_III.pdf

    MEP 831: Won’t Start and Batteries Seriously Overcharged

    The power supply is a rectangular box inside the engine compartment on the left. When you look at it the wiring should be pretty obvious.

    MEP 831: Won’t Start and Batteries Seriously Overcharged

    You need to check the output of the power supply in the unit. That is the only thing that provides the DC power for the unit when its running.

    Installed Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge on MEP-803A

    I personally use the 10w-30 Rotella T (Now marketed as T4) in mine. I've gotten good service from it.

    Installed Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge on MEP-803A

    I Don't recommend STP in anything.

    I have an MEP-805B 60HZ unit that is working great with low hours... IN 3 PHASE!!

    I don't recommend doing this to a known good working set until the research has been done to determine the practicality of such a modification. So far as I know there is no information available to do this. I've been wanting to find a parts unit 804 (or above) to check out the stator and see...

    MEP-803A - Quad fuse blows when increase of Voltage

    For sure if the RPM is low the VR is going to have to work harder to get the voltage up in stator. That absolutely could blow the fuse on high current. Its a good thing the fuse was there otherwise the exciter would have been toast for real!

    MEP-803A - Quad fuse blows when increase of Voltage

    Great job. Thanks for closing the loop on the problem!

    Crazy prices?

    Um.. Yea, and its not that simple either (just add an inverter). That person is setting people up for some butt hurt.

    MEP 803a Short Circuit / Air Conditioner startup.

    Outstanding!! Glad its working.

    MEP 803a Short Circuit / Air Conditioner startup.

    The Fluke 87 I use has a special "fast" mode for this kind of stuff. You have to hold a key down while you turn it on to enable it. Otherwise its sampling rate is too low to catch this kind of thing. If you see sample rates in specs you need something with a capture time of a couple of...

    Anyone ever thought of adding a simple EGR system to an MEP803a ?

    Solvents are painfully slow on these things. I've burned out several. Just not like that. VW recommends replacing them because they are so hard to clean out. I've not had any issues with bolting everything back together when done.

    My second MEP-831A

    Do you have any file folders? That will also work. They should be a little thinner than the thin plastic cutting boards.

    MEP-803A - Quad fuse blows when increase of Voltage

    Hm. What kind of meter are you using?
  18. DieselAddict

    MEP-803A - Quad fuse blows when increase of Voltage

    If you are reading 0.1 ohm the stator is shorted. It should be around 1 ohm.

    MEP-803A - Quad fuse blows when increase of Voltage

    Even though your resistance measurement suggests the stator is ok the voltage and blowing fuses suggest it's not. I would lean towards believing the latter more than the former being the case. I recommend doing more testing of the stator. Get a meter that can accurately test it and check to see...

    2018 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade

    I'll be keeping my eyes open for a nice M1078.
