    MEP -002A Fuel Pump Needed, or not?

    Fellows- OK, so I'm getting ready to set the fuel system up on this puppy, and I'm going to use a Goldenrod filter, so it will take very little pressure to get fuel by the filter. I have a tank outside that I'll fill, a 275 gallon heating oil tank, and it's elevated, the bottom is maybe 3 or 4...

    Hey Folks, I'm converting over an Onan MEP 002A Engine for use with a DC Motor that I plan to use as a DC generator, and I'm looking to find out if anyone knows how long of a pipe/etc will develop too much backpressure?

    Experience=Mistakes Made

    This morning, after doing a lot of work on my M1009, I decided to go ahread & replace the Glowplugs on my CUCV. I had bought 3 sets of ACDelco 11G (60G) Glowplugs, and since my rig was starting a little slow, I thought I'd fix that. So, I installed them. Cut off the ends, replaced the ends...

    M1009 Door Adjustment

    I have a set of doors that close, but not all the way. In other words, when I close the doors, they close & latch, and seem tight when first closed. Then, as soon as I hit the first minor bump; both of these doors will go in & out (open/closed direction) about an eighth of an inch. I don't know...
