Cheap Funnels from Tesco

carlpenn · 16th July 2011, 14:27

Found this Funnel at Tescos, cost about £1.79 if I recall, I bought it 2 weeks ago and forgot about it - Its been in my Boot since

Might be handy for Disposing used oil / Coolant into containers from your Drip Trays etc.

There is also a mesh inside the funnel to catch muck etc. Its qute tought plastic construction and the flexy pipe is similar to those you get with fuel cans. The Flexy Pipe screws onto the base of the Funnel quite tightly. Haven't used it yet though.

Or you could fit a squeeze bulb on the end and fit it as a proper horn.

Sadly, they're cheap for a reason. Ok-ish for thick stuff like oil, but if you use it for fuel be ready to catch all the stuff that leaks out of the threaded joint at the top of the flexible section. It gets up there through capillary action. I've got one and never use it any more. Too leaky.

Did you try screwing the hose on? I have run water through mine and it holds really well

Although I wouldn't use it for fuel filling personally, Safer with the Hose from a Petrol Canister etc
