Dip Tube Too Short On 9ltr Keg

[Stormahead]

Has anyone found the diptube to be too short on the 9ltr kegs?

I was emptying one while bottling and thought I'd hit the bottom but then later discovered theres a quite bit still left in the bottom

Thinking I could extend it with some silicon tubing..

New diptubes for the 19l kegs can be bought as spares.
you would be able to shorten one of those.

My wife reckons my dip tube is too small too, pity I can't use silicon

Going by that you can and they are quote popular too by the looks of the "out of stock" note

What did you do to overcome this issue? I've just been given some with the same issue.

Add a piece of silicone tube to the end of the dip tube

I've put tube on the end of a couple of mine which have been cut short.
