    3 Generators - just got home from Letterkenny - not good

    Fuel filters for MEP-016B/E I was looking over the manuals (thanks Isaac). The 016B fuel filter looks the same as the filter on my 016E. Have you found a source for these? I guess if I can't find one, I can always retrofit something else. J.
