Hi Steve & Dan,

Steve, you are of course correct - that the dip stick tube is way down in there. Thank you for your contribution & correction. Ooops! :o)

Dan, I apologize  for jumping in too hastily and giving you a poor assessment of the tube configuration. Must mean I get the Dipstick Award for the day. :o)

Cheers,   Malcolm
