    Found a couple Jerry Cans at a local flea market today......

    Spouts...huh...spouts? must be a civilian term for something on a fuel can. Never heard them called anything but the 5th appendage of a hybrid equine in 22 years of active duty...LOL :deadhorse:

    803a load testing questions

    I saw a similar issue on my commanders hummer. It would always make it to the field then die. Sometimes it would start and run for a few minutes then die again. Losing my hummer to him (I was the battery XO) 3 field exercises in a row with no explanation I finally convinced them to pull the fuel...

    My MEP-803a experience

    I had the battalion Command Sergeant Major ask me why my howitzers looked kind of drab and Bravo Batteries howitzers and trucks had deep rich colors and a little sheen to them. I simply pointed him to the page in the TM that stated oil and similar products should not be spread on the paint to...

    MEP-004 starting questions

    Guy, I may have misunderstood your comment about the box on the front. The box in front of the radiator and the one on the back are large sound baffles. The box on the front fender running board by the fire extinguisher is the battery box.

    MEP-004 starting questions

    Fighting a large grass fire on Saturday (part of my job) and some honey do's limited my generator testing time this weekend. I have not found the issue, but did test the following: Swapped K-1 and K-6 with no change. What is the rubber cement like sealant they apply over these relays? They did...

    MEP-004 starting questions

    The batteries were brand new 850 CCA's this summer. They are both testing around 800 on a midtronics tester on Sunday. The original batteries were toast so I took the batteries out of my Ford Excursion several times over the year or so I putted around before I got serious about getting it...

    MEP-004 starting questions

    Guyfang, thank you for your response. I spent I fair amount of time in military manuals over 22 years in the army, but most of it was related to a howitzer, hummer or 5-ton and never with the electronics. I do not think these had a load bank on them or at least this one does not. There is a...

    MEP-004 starting questions

    I have a generator based on the MEP-004 that is giving me some fits starting. This is a PU-794/g, the precise 20KW version of the MEP-004 from what I have gleaned from manuals. My issue is this: When starting the generator I frequently get click that appears to be from the fuel system. If I...

    Just won the bid on a MEP803A

    I picked up an 803 in Minnesota last week. Mine was loaded on a 12' landscape trailer with the ramp left home. They set it on length ways, backed out, guided a time back to the skid and slid it to where I wanted it. The other guy picked his up with a half ton truck in much the same way. The guy...

    Pu-794/g

    I am new to this site and to this surplus generators, but I recently picked up a generator. I am interested in information on a PU 794/G. I understand they are a modified MEP 004, but I can find very little info on how they are modified, what specs are different, etc... I have downloaded the...
