MalkyB Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I'm sure there's someone who can answer this for me - is there an alternative to spending about £80 on a replacement oil line from the oil tank to the oil pump?? It looks to me like a small bore tube that should cost a few pennies....but that doesn't always translate into replacing a 40+ year old part! Quote
Gixer1460 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 What ever you use make sure its 'oil safe' ie. won't degrade whilst in contact with oil. Sounds daft but acrylic tube will last about 3-6 months before it goes brittle and cracks. If you can find Viton in the right bore that should be ok. Quote
Blubber Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 We are talking about nr 10 right? I think that line can be replaced with copper tubing but the guys at the sundial forum might have actual experience with that. I can imagine it has one way valves in it. Quote
MalkyB Posted March 10, 2020 Author Posted March 10, 2020 Yup #10 is the problem. I’ll post the issue on the Sundial forum too. Thanks again for the tip. Quote
