Funnel storage?

[jeepjunky]

Ok guys and gals, what have you fabbed up to store your funnels. Mine are loose under the workbench. this means I must wipe off the dust and pour some "waste" oil through it to clean it out prior to using it...there must be a better way?!?

Stacked together in a 5 gallon bucket. That way, if they drip, the mess goes in the bucket!

I pretty much gave up on funnels. Just a great dirt attractant and pain to store. I just grab a piece of paper and roll it up into a funnel. Then throw it away when done. Covers about 95% of my funnel use just fine.

I store mine in 1.5" pvc pipes screwed into the side of my workbench. The ends are capped and there is a little oil-dri in the bottom of each one. Keeps them organized, if the drip is stays in the tube and you can build the holders easily and for a couple bucks.

Search Funnel in the search box, select titles only, you will get a lot of info. There are many of these threads. Some of the ideas are really great, they will help keep the funnels clean and stop drips and messes from happening. Another solution is the funnel buddy. The only gripe I have with them is that they don't have various sizes, just the trans style. I am recreating a few to make them fit bigger funnels.

but don't buy from them, it is way cheaper through summit racing or jegs.

Mine are stacked in a coffee can on top of the waste oil barrel.

I've lost majority of mine and what was left I brought home( I left one at work ).

i use a cheap pastic toolbox mounted sideways with a small drip tray inside. funnels are clean and drained when i need one.

hang 'em on the side of the garbage can ... they drip into the can and I don't worry about it.

I store most of mine in plastic newspaper bags an close the tops with the black metal office clips, then I put them in a plastic bucket with a lid.

Wash mine out in the parts washer after I use them then dry with a rag.

I hang mine from a piece of bailing wire upside down, then ball up one end and hang the top from a nail. They don't get as dirty that way and I slip them off from the top. Big ones on bottom and they progressively smaller at the top.

I spray brake cleaner through mine, dry and wipe any residue with a paper towel or clean rag. When I go to use them, I give another wipe with a clean rag to get any dust out.
