The fill location is different on the L3130 than on my B7800, which is centered and horizontal forward of the steering wheel. However, for that, I use a couple of blocks of 2x6s to steady and support the funnel.
I think the problem of draining the last 1/4" is generic to all Mr. Funnels. I slosh what's left in the bottom of the funnel around a bit and then pour the rest (which would contain any water that, hopefully, was filtered out) into a screwtop jar and let it settle. If no water settles after a couple of days, I return the fuel to my 30Gal. storage tank.
BTW, Penokee, do yourself a favor and forget about refueling with 5 gal and 2 1/2 gal jugs. A search will turn up my post of some months ago, with pics, of my fueling and storage setup, using a palletized 30gal poly tank that I can slip in the back of my Suburban and fill with off-road diesel every few months. Using off-road saves on fuel and using a hand pump and hose to fuel your tractor is easier and more convenient than wrestling with 5 gal containers.

At these prices today, I was horrified to read people are throwing away that last little bit that stays in the bottom of Mr. Funnel. I just pour it back in the can because it's going to get filtered every time as I put it in the tractor.
I'm going to have to get a hose to add to my hand pump as I've been filling a plastic fuel container and xfering to the tractor. A hose would be much simpler. Just haven't bothered yet with all the other projects going on. John

That is the problem with TBN. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
There are a lot of gadgets and upgrades for our tractors. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
