Good evening,
Does anyone know where I can find this small tube? It broke when I tried to take it off, goes into the oil filter.

Thank you,
Shane

Although it might be possible to find this on a scrap motor (try Mike Dulinski) typically one would go to the local auto parts store and buy a length of the correctly sized tubing and just make it. You'll need a flaring tool, and if you can source it, copper/nickel/steel tubing like Cunifer (trade name) is easier to work than plain steel.

And you might also look at 1/4" premade steel brake tubing labeled as being for US Standard Flare fittings at Napa or maybe other parts stores. There are various lengths available and one might be close to what is needed. One of the nuts will be longer than stock but you can put that end where it is hidden. If nothing close is available you could either cut and reflare one end of a longer tube or else find the cunifer tubing.

Besides the flaring tool, you might need a tube bender. Each is about $20.

A few minutes here might help

I didn't look for the specific part you need.

Good taste in tools.

I've probably got one somewhere. I'll look in the closest garage today.
