Thank you Colt I will check that out. I believe I came across that last night as well so I have it bookmarked..


So has a side note I am curious the white wires that are wiring everything up thermostat oil shut off switch etc I think I have three or four broken wires at this point. And I need to splice on some extenders because I splice them a couple of times before and they're getting a little short.

1. Is there a specific wire to use copper, aluminum, stranded gauge?
Or alternatively you something like cat6.
2. For the splice itself am I okay to use the traditional wire nuts or a wago?
3. Is splicing even advisable or am I better off running a new stretch of wire from beginning to end for each of the broken wires?

At this point I'm still reassembling everything.

Not to be a wet blanket, but Fernco's list of compatible fluids lists both kerosene and gasoline as "Not Recommended".

Silicone is not generally compatible with diesel either.

Buna-N or nitrile hose should be generally compatible with diesel.

@deherenman the wire in the generators is TFFT, aka Tape /Fiberglass/Fiberglass /Tape, where the tape is usually Teflon. It is a wire rated for very high temperature use under adverse conditions, like diesel/JP8. Smaller gauges are readily available (Amazon, etc.) Large gauge is a bit harder to find, often sold as toaster or dryer wire, and most of the big wire and cable suppliers often sell it. (eBay, as well)


All the best,
