Im looking for the name or where i can find one its been bugging me!! Thankyou!

That is the old-time motor oil dispenser, used in the days when service stations had the hand-cranked oil pumps. They came after the glass oil bottles. I used them in a summer job in the 60s. They do work perfectly well.

I swear I saw this type of funnel for sale at Walmart for around $8 a month ago. Had measurements on the side, clear plastic, and I remember a segmented end- I found the end first and tried to find the funnel it fit until I did. I should have bought it. Wonder if it's still around.

That doesn't look like what I pictured the OP's description. That is more of a dispenser than a funnel.

Did it have this type of spout?

I have some of these and never thought of using them for a funnel. It would be slow but would come in handy snaking around on some vehicles!

Those coolant hoses come in larger ID's too. That would be a great repurpose.

The old time oil dispenser is what I thought of when I first read his description..
We will have to wait to see if the op comes back and tells us if this is what he wanted.

My wife has something that looks very similar to this in her nightstand drawer!

Sounds like you need to learn some new tricks.

Found this at Ace Hardware for $7 after reading this thread.



Measured top hopper, valve at the bottom of the funnel for variable flow, and a long clear hose with dust cap to get it into tight places. It was worth buying for me.

I was eye banging that one at O'Reilly's the other day. I like the flex hose for getting into awkward angles.
