Who here keeps product specific funnels

[mobiledynamics]

Oil Funnels Only for Oil
Fuel Funnel that only sees Fuel...


Just got my industrial grade P Touch Labels in today. Time to start making some labels.........

 

[Grumpy365]

A little oil residue in the fuel is so miniscule, it doesnt bother me at all. (Especially since most of my funnels are used for diesel fuel quite often)

The Only Product Specific Funnel I ever had was a Beer Bong, "Mr Funnel", from college

 

[Brad1234]

I have funnels for oil, radiator fluid, washer fluid & ****** fluid.

 

[banzaitoyota]

I have a diesel fuel specific RACOR water separating funnel for the Kubota(s) Diesel tractors

 

[BillK]

I have a set of three or four that are different sizes, but they get used for everything. Heck, it only takes about 10 seconds to wipe them clean with a paper towel after using them.

 

[Heavy Metal Doctor]

The only one I have a specific funnel for is for DEF. I was told you can really foul up the system if any other materials get in the reservoir (oil residue, etc.).

 

[dkroth]

Nope. Two funnels, different shapes, all fluids. A little brake cleaner or detergent before use makes it clean...

I was actually going to post on the P Touch Labeller itself. I find most of them ****. The quality is sh*te. They're sort of junkie and don't have a decent lifespan, that I've found. Maybe there's a milspec unit that I'm overlooking I do like the industrial grade labels though

I keep a lot of funnels on hooks or nails on a wall: for acetone, another solvent, oil, etc.

I have lots of funnels that I use for everything. When done,I just clean them out with brake cleaner and wipe down. Ready to go for any use at any time.

I always leave a clean rag or paper towel in them. That way dust dont get into them.

 

[Kev442]

Well, the OP is getting lonely, so I will admit I keep a funnel on the shelf next to each item used. Oil, ****** fluid, coolant, diesel and gasoline.

 

[d33pt]

i just have one funnel that i use for everything. and it's always dirty when i need to use it. i always have to wash and dry it out. maybe i should figure out a better system.

 

[Mike in Ohio]

I keep trying to do that but I end up just grabbing the closest one when I need it.

[plinker]

2 long neck flex funnels, 1 for gear oil and 1 for ATF

1 large funnel for oil/fuel

1 large funnel for used oil only

6-8 small funnels for various light oils/motor oils

1 funnel made for coolant


Dust/dirt contamation seems to be the bigger problem I have, only the gear oil & ATF funnels have screw on lids/caps (legacy brand) which is nice.

How do you guys store them?

How do you guys store them?

I keep my lubricant funnels, and extension tubes, in ziplock bags. Keeps them clean and doesn't waste any time or brake cleaner.

Wash it out as soon as you are done. I keep a couple of cans of BrakeKleen around just for that purpose. As soon as I am done using it, I spray it down, wipe it down and put it away.

Somewhat OT, but are some brands better than others. The regular local stock brands , Blitz, Spillsaver, Hopkins.

I have not done and AB comparison BUT the 2 Hopkins ones that were brand new, when I sprayed down brake cleaner after removing the *factory sticker*....it removed the top shiny plastic coat on it, and it's now just regular *matte* plastic. I assume part of the glossy plastic surface is part of the ~mould~ that allows it to be release easily ?

I've used brake cleaner on my Blitzes and they don't seem to be affected in this fashion

 

[Older'n dirt]

2 long neck flex funnels, 1 for gear oil and 1 for ATF

1 large funnel for oil/fuel

1 large funnel for used oil only

6-8 small funnels for various light oils/motor oils

1 funnel made for coolant

Cool! I thought I was the only one with this affliction.

But that's just my 'Garage collection'. I have three more in the trailer.
1 Large with 1" hose attached for fuel
1 Med size for oil
1 Small for ATF.

 

[CBradio]

I just have two funnels. I clean them out after I use them, and then knock any dirt off before I use them.
