Interesting problem: I changed oil in my engine (Perkins Perama M20) over the weekend. I do it using a Pela pump through the dip stick tube. I sucked all the oil without problem. However, the plastic tube that is used to suck up the oil got stuck somehow in the innards of the motor. I cannot pull it out (I used considerable force, but I don’t want to break anything). The motor turns without any issue (I can turn it by hand).
Questions: - any ideas what this tube is stuck in? - any ideas on how to free it? The dip stick tube can be removed (after removing the fuel filter, the oil filter and a few minor accessories), but I won’t get me into the insides of the engine. I hate the idea of dropping the oil pan 0- access is extremely limited and I am not even sure if this would help in any way, because I can drop the oil pan by probably maximum an inch or 2. Any ideas? thanks Marek 1994 C270 Legato Ottawa, ON
