Engine Oil Drain Pump

[DandGNWales]

I tried to drain the engine oil on our 1.5 BMC but after many minutes and lots of pumping action I only managed to suck out approx 1/2 litre of old engine oil.

 

I suspect the pump seal may be at fault, so are these still available or will I have to source a new pump ?

Our last boat had a valve in the line down by the sump, I don't suppose you have the same.

Thanks for your reply Ditch crawler, I do have valve in the pipe, I have tried that and it's still the same

Have you removed the oil filler cap and the dip stick.?

We use a Pela pump 6000 Just stick the tube in through dipstick hole, pump for 30 seconds go have a cup of tea as it does take a while.
