Abstract
A two-segment tube fluid level indicating system attached at one end to the vehicle's engine and at the other end to a fixed structure of the vehicle's engine bay is disclosed. The two-segment tube assembly includes a first tube segment having an end attached to the engine block and a second tube segment having an end attached to a fixed structure of the engine bay. The first tube segment is a common tube segment adapted for use with a given engine. The second tube segment is specific to a vehicle model. The first and second tube segments are axially and rotatably movable with respect to each other. A bracket having an elastomeric isolator attaches the second tube segment to the fixed structure. The movability of the first and second tube segments relative to each other and the elastomeric isolator operate to prevent damage to the tube portion during engine operation.
