Brad the bowl is plastic. I'm guessing a polycarbonate. I appreciate the offer. I've thought of having it machined out of plastic. The local job shop had some large diameter white plastic stock when I dropped in a few days ago.
After looking at the OD and ID of pipe, it looks like bar stock is the only solution if the extension is going to made out of metal. Aluminum is cheaper than SS or brass. If I could find a cheap scrap 3" cutoff, I'd be happy.
Egon, there's at least three oilfield suppliers within a 1/2 hour's drive. Unfortunately I don't think pipe or pipe fittings not going to do it. I suspect the sensor is also a Whitworth thread which doesn't simplify things.
About water: I've gotten a bunch of water on two occassions. When that happens the regular filter stops the water but starves the engine and it dies. I've used a Mr. Funnel as a pre-filter and I've still had water get into the tank. There's a perfect spot on the firewall for the water separator but I'd be on and off the tractor quite a bit to drain the small bowl. It'd be easier to just add the adapter and drain the bowl maybe once a day or whenever the sensor activated the warning light.
