If you want to do a mep-003a engine. I would get with billypop http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?117754-New-Rebuilt-MEP-003-engines&highlight=mep+engine
If you want to run a pump off a complete generator...I guess it could be done, probably need to design a flange and shaft to mount...
I wonder what that little pump makes for GPM at half the PSI? I am sure there is a calculator for it, but just tossing ideas here.
Your looking at a mep-004a engine for that power level. It could work if you were to find a cheap 400hz version, scrap/part out everything but the engine and some...
For light loads. The heavy rotating mass and low end torque at 1800RPM makes a killer combination. Look at the mep-803a vs mep-003a conversations going on now. Smaller engine with better hp/weight, but less lugging ability and less torque. 003a can take a bigger overload than an 803A. REALLY...
003A is 16HP at 1800 and 18HP at 2000 RPM Conservatively. I would hate to use an engine much bigger than it. A modern direct injection diesl, like a reefer engine might be a better choice. better HP/weight ratio.
I guess my APU idea was more of an auxiliary functions, booming around, sucking in...
Found it.
This is the M88a2 (hatz version) APU pump.
Like the M88 crewman said it wont run some stuff. But I think it will do a wrecker fine. If we can get the flow and PSI of the wrecker pump then all will be revealed...
I posted the info from the M88apu at one point or maybe I sent it to Jesus gatos.. I will find it and repost here, and we can look at the specs on the pump.
I got a nice APU that would work for you guys. I think 'JesusGatos' has another he may or may not be using as well. Its from M88 tank recovery vehicles. Self contained Hatz diesel, hydraulic pump, and a 400? amp 24v generator. Nice little tight package. I scored a control panel for it as well...
