Dear Half-Mast,
We have an MEP-016D 3-kW generator. I cannot find a TM for it, nor
any reference to it. I was told that the D model was a converted B model,
but I can’t find a reference to the B either!
So, what’s the deal with all these models and where do I find reference
material for the MEP-016D?
SGT C. M. H.
Dear Sergeant C. M. H.,
Mobile electric power (MEP) designation confusion is a common disease.
Fortunately, I’m the doctor with the cure.
The MEP-016D is a modi±ed MEP-016A/C. The modi±cation is the replacement
of the gasoline engine with a Yanmar diesel engine. So, for everything but the engine
and engine mount, use the MEP-016A/C technical manuals, TM 5-6115-271-14 and
-24P.
For information on how to modify the MEP-016A/C to an MEP-016D and for
how to service it once it is modi±ed, c
all

And, as for the MEP-016B, that’s a Onan diesel engine driven
3-kW that uses technical manuals TM 5-6115-615-12 and -24P.
