I have not been able to find an NSN for the "fuel strainer" on my gennie. I have searched all the 016 TM's I could find, and some 021 TM's. It's a clear glass bowl connected directly to the 3-way valve. It has a screen on it, but mine did not have a paper filter inside. Anyone have any idea...

I bench tested the pump and it worked great. Hooked it back up to the gennie and no love. So I bypassed the tank selector valve and hooked the pump directly to the belly tank and it filled the day tank without issues. After that I pulled the selector valve off and found it completely plugged...

Yep, the white ball moved freely. I'm guessing the pump motor itself is out based on the noise it makes. I dont believe the top end is serviceable as its sealed up. I guess I'll order a new pump. I'm just going to get an inexpensive low volume 24v pump.

Open to feedback on next steps?

I rigged up 24v this evening and applied it directly to the pump. The pump kicked on and made noise, but didnt actually move any fuel (and didn't sound very healthy. Not sure if that's normal though as you cant hear it with the gennie running.) I removed it and opened it up as far as I thought...

I had 5mins this evening and was able to verify continuity across the float switch while the tank was empty. I assume this means the float switch is good. Tomorrow I am hoping to finalize the gennie install, the interlock kit arrived today. And I'll also try and rig up a couple of batteries to...

Tks guyfang, I'll snap some pics this evening when I get home. Should the float be passing continuity when low on fuel? Wondering if that's an easy way to test the float for function.

My trusty MEP 016-d quit on me during a power outage this evening. Upon examination I found that the belly tank was full, but the small tank on top was empty, so it wasn't transferring fuel. I read several threads saying the rectifier on the fuel pump is known to go bad and can be safely...
