    You folks tried to direct me to nice small funnels earlier this spring, but sometimes you just cannot save a person from themselves. I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe when I received this funnel:

    you might want to tie a piece of string on that - in case it falls into the fuel tank

    You aren’t the first.

    My partner bought a folding chair for her mother. The trouble was it was about 5 inches high!

    And I ran into someone at the local tip shop who had bought 4 Buddhas for his garden “at a really good price!”. His 4 Buddhas were very tiny.

    Cheers

    Don't you just love dealing with China - NOT!

    I was trying to buy a nice wire feed flux-core welder, after the third time, I said bugger all, bought local and was done with it!

    Should have wised up when it was the Wong Fu Kang welder each time! Good deal eBay made right on their scam!

    Hi,

    Laughing with the OP, not at him, I once bought a half dozen of those tiny funnels from that website out in the bay. They were listed as being made to fill liquor flasks, so I didn't know what to expect. And at something like 10 cents US each, I knew there wasn't going to be much to them, and there wasn't. That said, they fit right into the packed stoves and work rather well with my 123s and 8r when space is at a premium. Larger Coleman funnels are the order of the day when car camping.

    I was trying to get 1 3/4 inch dia and .45 inch dia spout to just fit into the tank and I could see the fuel level...

    Can’t help but laugh. Maybe I’ll find some other scrap parts and make a mini Madonna or girlfriend robot thingie for Bender.
