If you marked the narrow white hose the length of the dipstick tube, I don't think it is possible that you reached the oil pan. Because dipsticks are designed to measure how much oil you have in the oil pan. It seems highly unlikely you reached the oil pan. There are some older model GM trucks that have unusual dipstick tube that get narrower and may cause the hose to stop. I would call the LiquiVac mfr and ask them. They are very helpful.

The 2" is an approximation. All vehicles are different. Try marking where the tube stops and compare it with the length of the dip stick. The dip stick may be closer than 2" from the oil pan.

The pattern width depends on a few things like, the tip size used and how far you have the gun from the surface being painted, etc. Normally the paint manufacturers' tech-sheet will indicate recommended tip. I used TCP/Global Restoration shop UBLV 3.5 VOC base coat paint and then two part ("2K") clear coat with the 1.4mm tip. If I recall, I sprayed it at about, oh, 8 inches from the surface generally for a pattern with of about 1" x 6-7" narrow oval more or less. The gun has a pattern adjust knob on the left side (narrow oval to circle pattern). I didn't spray primer, but I think that requires the bigger tip. That's my amateur experience.

The picture shows a long shaft on the plunger, (the smaller diameter shaft) but it comes in at least 2 lengths, and I ordered the wrong one, had to cut mine. The small ear on one contact can be either left or right side for these starters. Unless you have it apart, even a dealer's manual doesn't really show the one in your solenoid. Cross check several supplier's pictures to see the differences, but only get what is in the solenoid you have. Solenoid comes off the starter with two small bolts and the contact nuts, that part is easy- with the starter on a bench. Getting the starter out can be the problem.

No. The dip stick tube is designed to measure oil levels in the oil pan. The tube gives a clear path to fluid in the oil reservoir, the fill opening does not in most cases. Some dipstick tubes are much more accommodating to the Topsider than others. Most issues arise from tube diameters than obstructions. A smaller diameter tube should still work though. I cut the end of the Topsider tube at a sharp angle of around 70 degrees, and then cut small notches in the angled end. A square end on the tube may become stuck to the bottom of the pan by vacuum and stop sucking fluid.

Up to half a quart over is fine. If adding this would be over filling more than that you would probably want to siphon a little out first. Filling and draining repeatedly through the dipstick would just remove the stuff your adding if you didn't run the engine in between.

The time sert length is as described "9.4mm". If you have a "blind hole" (it does not pass through the repair surface) you must have at least 6mm remaining below the bottom of the insert. The instructions that comes with the kit are easy to follow. Hope your repair is successful.

It needs a space of 71/2'' long,plus another inch for the nipple on the far end and it's 21/2'' in diamiter.WARNING in fine print it says not to try to start the engine with heater still pluged into the power cord.For years I always unpluged it before starting the engine but one time I didn't do this and that is all it took to ruin the heater and have to by another one.It was -6 here last night but the ole hoe started right this AM

Measure the depth of the pan from the outside while on the transmission. It should be approximately 3 inches. Most of the later models have the deeper pan. Place your tape measure end between the bolts on the deepest section of the pan (middle) The tape should read approximately 3 inches. Bob S.

When I did not know I went on line and googled illustrated instructions. To use you press the button behind the back grip, pull handle out this will allow you to insert tube. . Note: I place tip of tube in hole on slide of gun to cut tip. It'll be ready to use.

I would suggest try 3 tubes and do it religiously and if it doesn't work don't buy it again :)

The tubes take up some space, so two quarts would be a good estimate. Make sure you go by your dipstick to get your final level.

stick the straight tube in the gas tank and squeeze the blue bulb and release. keep squeezing and releasing until all the liquid is removed. they probably figured it's so easy anybody would know how to use it but they should've include instruction.

I will assume you are having problems with the last 6-8 inches of the tire. What I did to get it on the rest of the way was to add a little air to the tube so that I wouldn't pinch it. Then with the unfinished side facing away from you, take a tire lever and lift up about two inches in. While still lifting up, use your free hand to work on those two inches. You will need to use some elbow grease to muscle it on. Then repeat until tire is on. The last inch is easy. Took me less than 2 minutes to get the last part of the tire on, after I figured it out of course.

Line up where you want the seams after heating it up with a hair dryer for a couple of minutes to make it supple. Then, start from the top and work your way down equally on each side. It will slip into place and you won't have to go back to correct the placement. If it won't fit when you get to the bottom, your steering wheel is too large. I wouldn't force it as you'll rip a seam. Otherwise, it's a very simple operation that takes maybe 5 minutes tops...

Just take stick and dip. Use a cup (Dixie or small solo)-I always wait until I get result before I dump it out. Make sure your don't dip past the max line. If you get the whole stick wet, it won't work at all.

make sure you pack the ends first. If that doesn't help the tube is sliding back as you inject tobacco. you might have a defective tube holder

Update, I'm running 32mm confidentials and have put five tubes in now. Its just the front. The foam tape failed, the velux French rim tape walked twice or more and now I'm trying drilling/chasing the little holes (4near valve stem +2 ) and using the red protector from old rim.
