Abstract

The invention describes an oil-pickup system for an internal combustion engine, especially a one-cylinder diesel engine with at least three oil-pickup tubes (26, 27, 28), which are in communication with the oil pump via a suction tube (29) and which are disposed in the oil pan (24) in such a way that, if the internal combustion engine is in inclined position, intake of air is prevented by the control valves associated with the oil-pickup tubes.
