A liquid level sensor has a liquid sensing element carried on the end of a curved probe which is inserted into a liquid-holding chamber. The probe can be rotated to properly locate the sensor within the chamber. A threaded nut locks the curved probe in position to maintain the sensor in the proper position.

A brushless alternator for an engine-generator set has a housing for mounting to the engine. Raised ribs define an internal bore of the housing, the bore having a constant diameter to mount the stator and the exciter field assembly, both of which have the same laminations. The ribs also define cooling air flow paths through the housing. A fan is mounted outside of the housing at the free end of the housing to draw air into the engine end, through the housing and out the free end.
