Problem with my dipstick!

consider buying a new one and a tubing bender, either the level type or the spring type should keep from kinking the tube.

I did buy a bender, but the tubing is so stiff and the radius so tight, I wasn't able to get anywhere with it. The end of the tubing that needs bending is too short to get a good grasp when you put the bender on it. And when I tried using the spring over the tube, the bender crushed some of the coils.

I hope someone makes them pre-bent.

Thanks for the input,
