    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    Hi Guyfang, I agree, it does not get much better for Haxe than here: this is the real Germany.......

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    I am interested in the NSN and any images you can include. What I am in need of are the small Tees, hoses and clamps (if there any) for the injector fuel lines. In summary am still getting a few air bubbles (a very small steady stream), and one injector line is not getting any fuel. The...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    Hi Chrispyny, I am happy you got the filler neck gasket. The fuel tank of the MEP has been reinstalled and that part of the job is done with all the screws back in their place. The whole exercise has been a good learning experience and there are no more fuel or coolant leaks, but I have some...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    Even though I made a makeshift filler-neck gasket with a FERNCO coupler, I found the regular replacement rubber gasket on Ebay and bought one. There is one left in case you are interested. You only need to remove the smaller front panel to pull out the filler-neck assembly...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    I did not think the small difference in the pump extensions mattered that much since I was thinking of changing to compression fittings anyhow (like suggested) and make my own lines, but you have a point and for now there is no need to add more work. Got to get this generator working. When it...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    Hi Col Guyfang, I am part of a team and we are involved in microwave comms (as an rf engineer), which all I can say here. I'll try to give you call mid March. I have been coming here for the past 40 yrs. I love Germany, although I am native of the Lake Garda area.

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    Oh it is such a pleasure to use new SS hardware when remounting the panels. I reinstalled the tank and replaced all the fuel soft lines. Most everything else looks fine. I am going to switch pumps and use the aux one. I am mounting the radiator next. There was a lot of crud in the radiator. I...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    Thanks. Perfect visualization of flow rate! just about the rate I can p** in a cup also, but with age that is getting slower. The pumps's age of course ;) I assume the pump pulsates? which is what it sounds like. Maybe that explains why both pumps show high resistance windings at about 30KOhms...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    i only replaced some of the soft fuel lines and the return line to the fuel tank, so hopefully it should prime itself after a while. During priming I will monitor the yellow line for any air bubbles. If that does not work I will check the fuel pump and what the manual says about checking it. If...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    Korgoth1 Many thanks!, thats what it must be. However I have not been able to free it yet. Any ideas? I need to read the manual more carefully. The **** thing drove me nuts cause I could not insert a socket skinny enough to free the two bolts holding the left side corner panel. I'll try it...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    Hi haven't seen any wrenches, where would it be stored? Roger on the threads, and yes I would not mess with the generator power wise unless grounded and off line. What is that bar under the left side of the skid, is it somehow the wrench in question? I haven't figured out how to remove it and...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    Enclosed is an image how I pressure tested the fuel tank. In preparation for the rebuilding, I flushed the radiator and engine coolant. Just to play it safe I covered the exhaust port since it was too close to the water thermostat opening and i did not want to pour it accidentally in the wrong...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    fuel tank overhauled I was able to pressure test the fuel tank at 3-5 psi and it hissed air at the fueling cap, but nowhere else. So now I can start rebuilding the generator. I am grateful for the advice given about using a FERCO 3" to 4" adapter to seal the fuel inlet to the tank. The original...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    Hi Guyfang, the cork gaskets are mostly ok but one of them is split in half and the rest have separated. I did get some Permatex gasket sealer that is diesel fuel and oil tolerant, and used very little of it just to hold them in place. I agree on not tightening the screws too much and luckily...

    MEP-802A fuel tank removal.

    I forgot to ask, does anyone know if I should use any type of sealants when mounting the sensor covers back on the fuel tank, or rubber on rubber should suffice with the compression of 5 screws? What about the rear fuel drain port?

    Thanks for the encouragement and help in posting the pictures. I'll add more during the reconstruction phase which will be when I have some free time off from my regular job. I want to make sure I don't miss anything so if anyone has comments and advice please feel free to interject them here...
