What to Do If the Car Oil Extraction Hose Won't Fit In?

Remove the screw on the oil pipe, which is the one circled in yellow in the diagram, to detach the oil pipe from the brake pump. If the brake feels abnormal after installation, it is necessary to bleed the air for a while. Generally, just open the cover of the brake master cylinder and repeat the process several times. Remove the wheel cylinder, then slowly push the piston in while rotating it vertically. Press it in firmly until it reaches the bottom, install the oil pipe, and bleed the air.
Last time I tried siphoning gas from my car, I also encountered the issue of not being able to insert the tube. The fuel tank opening usually has anti-theft designs like anti-siphon mesh or a check valve blocking it. Forcing it in not only doesn't work but might damage the tube. I found that first using a phone flashlight to inspect the internal structure of the tank opening helps locate weak points in the anti-siphon barrier, then choosing a slim, long plastic hose works best. Movements must be gentle and slow, twisting while feeding it in. If it really won't go in, don't force it - using a dedicated fuel siphon funnel is better than brute force. Safety is most important; gasoline fumes are extremely strong, and encountering static sparks could be dangerous. The entire process should be done in an open, ventilated area with gloves and goggles on.
