Pela 6000 Oil Extractor

[RMC]

Went to change the lube oil on a Bukh 20 and found that the tube on my old brass suction pump to be slightly too large a diameter for the dip stick hole. Fancy getting a new Pela 6000 vacuum pump but wish to confirm its suction tube of 3/16" OD will fit the Bukh engine.

I have a Pela (6000?) and the tubes supplied with it fit down the dipstick hole in my Bukh DV10. Not sure which model Pela it is.

Ditto.

Thanks for that, I understand the Pela '6000' is its tank capacity - 6 litres

Yes, 6l. Great bit of kit.

I use a Pela 6000 to remove the oil from my Bukh 20 via the Dip Stick and it works fine, tho take a bit of care putting in & extracting the tube as it can snag. Using it for draining the oil sump is OK as you can use both hands on the pump mechanism, but I have found the loose pump handle is awkward if you need to hold the tube and pump at the same time. Purchasing again, I'd be tempted to go for the 400 as you don't need to secure the pump handle whilst pumping, so easier to use one-handed.

Yes should fit ok, one of the best things I bought for the boat, also good for removing diesel out of tanks, before I removed them to cleaned out.

I need one as well. What is the cheapest place to buy them?

Is this exactly the same thing with a different label? Seems a lot less money.
