dipstick blocks fuel pump

New factory tubes are straight. You just bend as needed. I just installed one and had to bend it quite a bit to clear the fuel pump. Just use some sealer on the block end of the tube and carefully pound it in. Then slowly bend it for clearance. If you're reinstalling a good used one. You'll want to determine which way the bend is before you install it. Hopefully, you took photos before you removed it.
