Hello,
I have been away for too long, anyhow I noticed a puddle of oil under car, pulled dip stick out put it back in , pulled it out and the last part of the Stick was gone. must have been 50 years of metal fatigue. Question is whats it going to take to get it out of the tank? it is a /6 tank George |

On the other hand, it doesn’t hurt anything. I’ve seen plenty of 911 oil tanks with pieces of dip sticks in them. It doesn’t go anywhere.
