    Battery charging?

    The precise units keep the hertz tighter for sensitive equipment, not necessary for civilian application. I had one and really it only kept it 2 hertz tighter, not really worth it. You need to check the cable connector on the back of the alternator, mine came loose just a bit and quit charging.

    mep803a working great but no reading on the load guage

    Excercise the selector switch a couple times, most of the time they are crusty causing issues. Some have had faulty current transformers(test ct output, specs are in the manual), or it could be the guage itself.

    How to bypass most of the fuel system on a 802A

    Thats very similar to the old 004's day tank system. I ran the return line to a T fitting(literally where your tigerloop is in the diagram) doing away with both pumps. Just have to bleed it well(tigerloop eases bleeding, which is preferred for mechanically challenged) I bleed by pulling the...

    Fair price for a MEP-803A?

    There is a few on c-list for around $3500 to $4000, which are in great shape(they only bring that much because they are "the sweet spot" for the average homeowner). The 802 brings around $1500 to $2000 in good condition. What are your power requirements? If you need 10kw to be comfortable, the...

    MEP-802A and MEP-803A fuel consumption

    In my experience, the gallon an hour for every 10kw load has been very close. So close in fact you can take the price per gallon, say $1.95 for example, and know that it is going to cost you $.19 cent per kilowat to produce your own power at that fuel price. People here get wound up thinking a...

    MEP 802A Aux fuel. Thoughts on bypassing system and installing a tiger loop?

    Thats good to know, mine is only 2' higher, plus the head pressure of the tank. My prime pump has quit working, so I have an opportunity to test out the tiger loop idea.

    MEP 802A Aux fuel. Thoughts on bypassing system and installing a tiger loop?

    It has not so far... I will keep an eye on it though. The pumps must not be the 'flow through' design the old 004 was.

    MEP 802A Aux fuel. Thoughts on bypassing system and installing a tiger loop?

    The way the 004 worked, my fuel oil tank was on a stand, higher then the day tank, so it drained into the unit without needing the pumps. If the 802/2 aux lift pump will allow fuel to flow through when off(they should) then simply having the aux tank above the day tank will bypass the aux lift...

    MEP 802A Aux fuel. Thoughts on bypassing system and installing a tiger loop?

    Anyone plumb the 80x series directly, bypassing the lift pumps entirely? It worked great on my old 004.
