Hi,
I've recently have acquired use gene berg oil sump which I believe to be 210 (from the measurements posted on gene berg's site). Apparently some has drilled and taped a whole on the side wall to accept an oil temp sender, however it is not straight and oil sender does not fully seat in the opening. So here is a question part. Does anybody know the material used for casting these sumps. Is it aluminum or magnesium? I would like to get it this opening welded up and re-drilled/taped. I've seen cautions in the Joe Cali manual on this topic toward having generator stand welded since some of them were made from magnesium which explodes when welded.
Thanks again, Anton
