The system which powers the aux fuel pump has a low level turn on, and high level shutoff. 1/2 a tank won't activate either. If you get below a quarter tank, you will hear it kick on at some point, in the PRIME + AUX setting. I don't recall the exact level (it can actually be manipulated, by...
Radiators are becoming pluck and chuck, like the rest of the world... easier to justify when less folks are willing to get into trades and learn hard skills.
To be honest with the way the world is headed, I am not just concerned with parts availability, but the larger geopolitical concerns of having to run machines like this for an extended duration, under significant societal stress events. Won't go too off the rails here, but I'm pretty sure folks...
I am sure dimensionally one could be found, but then it would come down to the fill neck being workable (the stock location and angle sucks, but its what works for the configuration), the upper and lower hose locations being the same, and the mounting (which is special on this, to work with the...
A few folks have reached out to me over the last six months, looking for replacement radiators for their gensets. These items are very rare at the surplus/auction site level that I have seen and experienced, but are pretty important to these machines long term upkeep (and use when needed)...

Supposed to, and can, are different beasts... but clearly its inherently safer to keep it as CECOM says with like sets to remove one less bad decision waiting to happen.
I'm pretty sure you can use the fender box with mixed Genset sizes... It's just a matter of knowing the amperage being drawn at the time of changeover.
Safety dictates that the gensets be equally sized to take any chance out of an overload situation upon changeover... But someone with a solid...
