    Thanks Ike, I looked up the different metel problems with diesel. Thanks for the heads up. I think the kit comes with PVC or black iron pickup tube can't tell from the pic.

    I hear ya. I would have got a RELIANCE 10 circuit transfer panel switch. But I have a 100amp subpanel running to my shop. The shop panel is running my 240v water well. So I figured I would get a 200amp transfer switch and be done with it. Just have to turn off 2-3 breakers on the house panel...
