Timx Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hi just a quick question, I have an Isuzu 42 engine, but when changing oil, I have to fit a piece of hose pipe to the pump extractor, so my question is, what is the name of that little bent tube on top of pump, as mine is not there and would make the job easier, I presume it just screws on. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrose Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) So just to clarify the engine in the picture is not yours? I'd probably call that part a spigot? Edited October 30, 2021 by blackrose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timx Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 No that’s not my engine, I just saw it on another place, and it reminded me I need that bit, at the moment a little plug screws in there, but I know that bent bit should be there, or available, as I have seen it fitted on the same engine, and makes sense.

PaulJ Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Ive got no idea what the thread is but maybe a hose tail might fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timx Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 When I bought the boat, the pump was knackered he had been using a paella pump to extract the oil, so I bought a new pump off ASAP, so I will have a look for hose tail , and or spigot.

Tony Brooks Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 I think it is called a spout and I have never seen a detachable one.A photo of the new pump may help. If the outlet is not threaded I suspect you could solder or even glue a length of copper tube onto the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would phone ASAP as it sounds as if yours is broken and missing a part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a plug that screws in where the spout should be, then it is fairly straightforward to measure the diameter and pitch of the thread on the plug to work out what type of pipe fitting would screw in there.

BEngo Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Looking at the post above David M's it appears to be 3/8 BSP. A straight 3/8 BSP male to 3/8 or 10 mm copper with a bit of copper pipe, inserted in the olive, tightened and then bent over, should do the job. You will need some oil proof sealant for the thread end. Hylomar, Heldite or what have you will do as there is no pressure and the oil is only there intermittently. Even so, I would not use PTFE tape as it tends to break down in oil and diesel. N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, just slide a short length of hosepipe over it, there is vitually no pressure so it shouldn't blow-off but you could always add a jubilee clip is you wanted.

Which is what I do on mine even with the spout so that the empty can stands on the floor with the end oft he hose just inside the neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
