Oil & Fuel Water in Fuel

[Bird]

Murph, it's called "Mr. Funnel" and instead of looking up the old thread, you can go directly to their web site here.

Bird,

Somehow I knew it would be you of all people to remember.


Thanks, I am going to get mine ordered today.

Murph, my brother used to sell them off the Matco Tool truck, and he gave me one; pretty neat tool.

Thanks, will order one of these to stop the problem in the first place!

I have a Mr Funnel and was surprised to see how much water was in the typical 5 gals of fuel purchased from a volume station. I have seen as much as 2 cups. But then again I should have known since I used to own a store with gas/diesel and I knew there was at least 6 inches of water at the bottom of the 6000 gal diesel tank.

There seems to be two kinds of funnels
which is the best????????

Doug, for purposes of filtering diesel for your tractor, it probably doesn't make any difference which one you use. If you are concerned about static electricity building from the flow of fuel over the plastic (perhaps especially with gasoline), then the black ones can be grounded during fueling. I see that the black (conductive) models are a little more expensive, but the fact is that those are the only ones I've actually seen or used.

I use the yellow one. Just make sure you get one that is the right size for your application. Mine is the 8 inch diameter one, which should be the right size for most CUTs.

BTW, if you do a search for "Mr Funnel" you will find a thread or two on them.

This is the largest funnel (8.5" wide) according to the Mr Funnel web site.
