Thanks Larry, but my dipstick tube is installed in the engine and it's a real pain to remove it to make those measurements you've supplied. What I really need is the dimension shown in my photograph. So far one person measured 17 inches, I think a few more responses and we might see what the "right" number is, or at least an average length.
