Chris300 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Hi, had a sump repair and now re fitted, thanks to one of the guides. Needed to replace the dip stick hose as damaged in removing. What the best way to expand the hose to fit dip stick holder please? Guess there is an easy way and you guys will know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECR Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 If it's fuel hose it will be internally reinforced and you won't expand it. Plastic tubing can be expanded by softening in boiling water/ heat gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris300 Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 @ecr it's the same hose that was on, but really tough to replace. Originally it was widened to take the dip stick holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 If you mean easing the hose onto the dipstick bracket, I'd try a silicone spray lubricant. (Mind you, I haven't tried this as I've never detached my hose.) JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
