    Not current, but just remembered a past experience...

    So about 18 years ago I was working as a small engine mechanic at a mom and pop shop. Some guy brought in a 5kw air cooled Army diesel generator that he bought and wouldn't start. One of the guys at the shop was a diesel locomotive mechanic, he was the first to take a look at it. He...

    Coolant Surge Tank, is this genuine or aftermarket?

    So ordered a coolant surge tank from what seems like it would be a reliable source, not going to name them as not sure yet if it's legit or what's going on or if it's a fluke that they'll take care of, just wanted to ask here for those that have seen more of these than me if the replacement tank...
