A long time ago there was a thread where a guy was looking for a way to prevent the dip stick from falling down into the oil tank. Now.....you would think this is a rather oddball endeavor but no...... This place is PACKED with engineers and engineer wannabees. The rest of the thread is a barrage of various solutions that various Pelicanheads had already implemented to achieve this same goal. Some of the solutions were brilliant. Screens were used. One was a regular kitchen sink drain plug/screen thing modified to allow insertion of the dip stick correctly and disallow incorrect insertion. I had no idea my fellow Pelicanheads were this clever. Or this deranged.
