  • Teflon tube from oil change pump broke in oil pan

    I just did something stupid.

    I have been servicing my boat but new to outboard engines. I use a Jabsco oil pump with teflon tube to drain oil from the engine dip stick. When I tried it with my Suzuki DF15 outboard, the tube got stuck in the dip stick guide. When I pulled harder, it broke off.

    I now have around 6 inches of the teflon tube (hard plastic) stuck in my oil pan. I was hoping to get some advice from this forum on what I can do.

    1) Will it be dangerous to leave it in my engine?
    2) Any ideas on a easy way to remove this?

    Thanks

    1) probably/maybe/perhaps
    2) no easy way, it will need to be partially dismantled to gain access to the sump area.
