Full details
The Streetwize Multi-Purpose Funnel is an essential tool designed for DIY mechanics and car owners who need a reliable way to transfer automotive fluids without spills. Offering a versatile 2-in-1 design with a flexible attachment for reaching difficult fluid reservoirs, it excels at managing oil, petrol, and coolant; however, users should note that its plastic construction requires careful cleaning to avoid cross-contamination between different chemical fluids.

FAQs
Is this funnel safe for gasoline?
Yes, it is designed to be petrol resistant for short-term use during transfers.
Can I use the same funnel for oil and screen wash?
Yes, but you must clean it thoroughly with detergent between uses to avoid contaminating your screen wash with oil residue.
What is the diameter of the funnel mouth?
The main funnel head has a diameter of 140mm.
Is the flexible pipe dishwasher safe?
It is not recommended to use a dishwasher. Hand wash with warm soapy water to protect the plastic integrity.
Can it withstand boiling water?
While it is heat-resistant for standard automotive liquids, it is not intended for use with boiling water.
Troubleshooting
Liquid is leaking at the junction of the pipe and funnel.
Ensure the flexible pipe is pushed firmly into the funnel base; a tight friction fit prevents leakage.
Flow is too slow with thick oil.
Remove the flexible pipe to use the wider neck of the main funnel for better air displacement and faster flow.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Flexible pipe reaches awkward fluid reservoirs easily
- Resistant to corrosive automotive chemicals
- Wide-mouth design reduces messy spills
- Lightweight and easy to store in a trunk or toolbox
Cons
- Requires thorough cleaning to prevent fluid mixing
- Plastic material may crack if subjected to extreme heavy pressure
- Flexible hose may become rigid if stored in very cold environments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the funnel, simply push the flexible pipe firmly into the base of the main funnel body for deep-reach applications, or remove it for standard top-ups. The funnel is compatible with almost all automotive fluid types, including standard synthetic and mineral oils, ethylene glycol anti-freeze, and windshield wiper fluid.
To ensure longevity:
- After use, drain all residual fluids from the funnel and pipe.
- Clean with a mild detergent and warm water if switching between different fluids (e.g., from oil to coolant).
- Allow the unit to air dry completely before storing in a dust-free area.
- Avoid leaving the funnel submerged in solvents or fuels for extended periods.
