Default Help! - oil change problem using pela pro 14 extractor

Does anyone have experience using the Pela Pro 14 oil extractor? I just got mine today and tried to perform an oil change. I started with the car cold and warmed it up for 5min then turned it off. I received 3 different tubes with the Pela and stuck in the middle size one all the way down. It didn't seem like it was long enough to hit the bottom of the oil pan. I was not able to extract any oil, it seems like my Pela is not holding a vacuum. Now when I tried to pull the tubing back out of my diptube housing, it is stuck really good. I don't know if it's caught on something inside or if it may have melted? I need help. I tried to yank on it with pliers to get a better grip and learned the Pela tubing is not strong plastic. It thinned out right away in the spot that I yanked on. I have about an inch of tubing to work with now before I hit the diptube housing.

I NEED HELP. I DONT KNOW HOW DIFFICULT OF A TASK THIS IS TO FIX IF THE TUBING ENDS UP BREAKING AND IS STUCK IN THE DIPTUBE HOUSING?

PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP IF YOU CAN HELP OR HAVE ANY IDEAS:
