Sounds like you're doing it right.  Did you cut the tip off far enough?  (So there's actually a hole?)

Wait - are you saying that you can't get the tube to fit on, or that you can't get the acid to come out once the tube is connected?

hey,
yeah u read right. cant get the acid to flow thru the tube. it does go about 2 inchs thats it. the hole might not be big enuff, i'm going back out now to try again.

UPDATE:
The hole i cut wasnt big enuff. I tell ya tho save yourself the hassle and dont buy Magnapower batterys from Autozone,  I know the acid is watered down some but still, every drop that hits the ground sizzles. Acid was driping here and there. Freakin Christ what a stupid design.
