I'm seeking help finding a replacement Yanmar fuel tank for my MED-016D that has the hole in the bottom for the aux tank pump float switch. I've found a number online (counterfeit and OEM) but from the pics there is no hole in the bottom. Thanks for any help!

Anyone know anyone who sells parts for the MEP-016D - specifically the aux fuel system? My 016 has a belly tank that has hole in in it - right on the molding seam - more like a split. Also, the petcock on the aux fuel system seems frozen. Finally, the water/sediment separator glass globe is...

I have a MEP-16D which I currently have still setup for my old home (rental) - to provide only 120v on a whip I put together. We would use this power during winter emergencies to run space heaters, some lights, and charge phones for periods of time from 4 to 72 hours. Our *new* house (we just...

I purchased a MEP-002 a few months ago and the seller did not disclose the it had a voltage output issue. (In all fairness they might not have known…) Anyhow, when the genset is setup for 120v/1phase it is outputting 140 volts. I opened a thread on this a few months ago and was advised to...

My GL acquired MEP-016D runs fine and is generating electricity as expected. Now that I am up to speed on basics, I’m starting to expand my going over the system and have turned to looking at the aux fuel tank setup. My 16D has an underbelly plastic fuel tank that can feed the smaller red tank...

Well, it figures. Haven't been able to pull together an extension cord off the power lugs yet and power just went out in ~30 degree weather. Will it hurt my mep016D to run a 1500 watt space heater off the convenience outlet? have read some threads where this is a no-no on larger units, but...

Now that my MEP016D is up and running, I’d like to fabricate an extension cable that will run about 40 feet into my home to distribute the power. I’d like to verify the following assumptions and ask for help on how this should be broken out. I’ll be running the Genset in single phase/120v...

I have a new to me MEP002A that I recently purchased 2nd hand from the orginial GL purchaser. I've been scouring this forum and making a lot of posts since. Yesterday I fired it up and it started and ran fine - however I noticed an issue. When the engine RPM was set so hertz (on a little...

Since I'm on a roll :-) (TGIF!) I was wondering if anyone could point me in the correct direction for obtaining or building a cable that could be used to externally power the starter on my MEP016d? I have a MEP002 that has a 24v battery bank for starting that I figured I could tap into if...

I'm looking for OEM consumable and replacement parts to put away for my recently won MEP016D. I've checked out the big online auction site and all of the parts I saw were Chinese counterfeits. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a reputable US dealer who sells via the internet? Thanks!

I’m new to all of this and just picked up my first GL purchase from Fort Meade yesterday. It is a 1978 dated MEP-016D with ~475 hours on the meter. Frankly, the motor looks brand new and I wonder if the hours could have been accumulated before the Yanmar was retrofitted? Anyhow, I managed to...

I've recently purchased a 002 and a 16d. I am waiting on the electrician to come out to wire the 002 into the house panel. (3-4 weeks) In the mean time I'd like to start the MEP-002 up (been about a month since I bought it from the PO and it's sitting in garage on a trailer) but I don't have a...

I just purchased a M101 with MEP-002A on it. I got the trailer home and parked it in the garage. I then noticed a significant amount of lean to the landing gear. Is this normal or a problem? Unpinning the gear (with the tongue supported with jack) allowed me to look at it in between up and...

Hi, I just scooped up a MEP-002A on a M101A2 trailer from Craigslist. We purchased it for our annual 72+ hour power outage that seems to occur at least once every year. They always seem to occur in conjunction with a snow storm that leaves us stuck during that time. I had been ready to...
