WC Saskatchewan | Looking for ideas for storing and keeping funnels (oil/antifreeze) clean and organized in the shop. |
|
| |
|
Illinois | I keep them inside an otherwise empty 5 gallon oil bucket with the lid on. They stay totally clean, and the oil drips off of them to the bottom of the bucket. It's not a high-class, fancy storage method, but it serves its purpose. |
|
| |
|
mn | I use a 5 gal oil pail and drill holes in the lid to stick the funnels in then use an old towel to lay over the top. |
|
| |
|
NW Central Ohio | For that matter, you could combine both of the previous poster's answers...and put a small shelf in a 5 gallon pail...and let them drain into the bottom with the lid over the top to keep the dust out.... |
|
| |
|
NEMO | We use a old chemical inductor that the top was damaged. Put expanding metal in the middle with holes for the funnels. Valve at the bottom to empty. Also worked for draining filters. |
|
| |
|
N.E. MO | Used to store them in an old refrigerator in the shop. Put cardboard on the shelves to absorb any residual oil, etc. Kept them clean/dust free. |
|
| |
|
Kingston,Mi | I placed some oven racks in a set of double wash tubs (used with wringer washers, showing my age), all of the funnels, oil measures and the dirty filters go in there to drain and just replace the lid to keep every thing clean. |

|
Southwest ND | I use a old "cooler". The ones with the handles on both sides and drain hole. |
|
| |
|
north-central Indiana west of Fulton | We have an area in a corner of shop deep enough to set oil barrels on floor with shelves above. The lower shelf has a tray with a screen subfloor that funnels can be set and drained into. A slope takes oil to one end and into a nipple with a hose and down to 2 1/2 gal jug on floor.

Ontario's West Coast , Huron County | I use an old softner salt tank . Put expanded metal in for the funnels to sit and drain through . Lid fits tight and keeps them clean . Does not take up much space either . |
|

|
Wi | None on this picture but we stick them between the pipes for refilling the totes. Drips into the waste oil sink for no mess.
We really don't use many funnels at all. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I used one this year.

West Central IA | What kind of oil can/jug with our spouts and lids are you operating there? Looks like a chevron emblem on them, but maybe that's the designated oil for each one? Do they pour at a reasonable rate?
I've looked for something like that but never found.
Edit
Also, I bought some funnels with screw-on caps top and bottom....not super convenient but better than wiping a dusty funnel out every time

WY, OK | I use old Microwaves that crapped out, if you get one of the big pre 90's versions they can hold a lot of funnels. The little plate sized dip in the bottom collects the oil and you can wipe it out when needed. |

North Central Kansas | It looks like they are made by Lisle. http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-19702-Dispenser-Lid-Cap/dp/B006G3W418

west central Iowa | Bottom drawer in an old file cabinet, bottom of the drawer lined with cardboard. Also keep filter wrenches etc. in there. |
|
| |
|
Lynd Minnesota | I did the same but put it in a garbage can wirh a lid |
|
| |
|
s nd | You're putting the juice that runs a pretty expensive engine every time you use one. So I'll wipe it out every time with starting fluid or carb cleaner and rag. |
|

|
NW KS/ SC ID | in a plastic bag, in an old refrigerator around here.
old fridges make for some awesome storage. hide the beer fridge amongst the storage fridges. ;) |

The ones that are linked in this thread by Lisle are the correct ones. I just got some extra labels from teh lube supplier to put on the jugs. Labels match the ones on the rack, as close to idiot proof as possible.
They pour fairly quiclly, as quick as any funnel can sometims quicker because they allow air into the tank you are pouring into. Less "glug" in miller terms. Less mess than with funnels overall and nice to use. Haven't found much that compares with them value wise and feature wise. Steel cans with flex spouts always seem to leak everywhere. |
