The stick is supposed to bottom out and measure the fluid IN the pan at 80C fluid temp. Requires a bit of touch on mine to feel it bottom. The tool itself is close to 48" long.

I've got a mark on mine if you want me to measure it for you tonight but it is prob not going ot do you much good as the tubes could be slightly different lenghts or be inserted differently and a 1/4 - 1/2" difference in lenght would be a lot of fluid under or over filled.
