Pela Pump 6000

[baldlimey]

Has anyone ever changed the clear plastic pipe on a pela 6000, I can see how to get one end off but I cannot see how to disconnect/reconnect the thin black pipe.

 

If you have changed it what size pipe does it need?

 

Thanks (yet again) everyone

I'm assuming you are talking about replacing the tube that's inserted into the dipstick tube. You can buy replacement tubes from Pela. You'll need a mortgage.

Hi,

 

I'm talking about replacing the clear plastic tube that connects the red cap to the tube that goes in the dipstick.

 

I just can't figure out how the tube connects at the dipstick tube end.

On my alls type Pella the black pipe was just a cycle cable outer. When mine punctured I just bought a new motorcycle cable and use the outer. I think it was just a push fit into the clear hose. Maybe smear the cable with a bit of polyurethane glue.
