Product Information
Full details
The Brookstone Drive Bell Funnel is an essential tool designed for workshop enthusiasts and DIY mechanics who require a reliable, mess-free solution for fluid transfers. Its primary benefit is the specialized wide-spout architecture, which minimizes spills while handling oils, coolants, or other workshop fluids. While the funnel is constructed for durability and ease of use, its 19cm fixed length may limit accessibility in extremely cramped engine bays where flexible extensions are necessary.

FAQs
Is this funnel resistant to automotive chemicals?
Yes, the material is designed to be compatible with standard automotive oils, coolants, and common workshop fluids.
Can I use this for gasoline or diesel?
While the material is durable, please ensure your local safety regulations allow for open-air pouring of fuels, and clean thoroughly after each use.
How do I store the funnel?
The funnel includes an integrated hook at the top, allowing it to be stored on any standard pegboard or hook system.
What is the total length of the funnel?
The Brookstone Drive Bell Funnel measures exactly 19cm in total length.
Is the spout diameter adjustable?
No, the spout is a fixed-width design to optimize the flow rate for common automotive fill ports.
Troubleshooting
Fluid flow is splashing out of the top
Ensure the spout is inserted fully and pour at a steady, controlled rate to prevent overfilling the neck of the funnel.
Funnel becomes unstable during use
Check that the spout is fully seated in the fill hole; if the reservoir opening is too small, use a hand to stabilize the funnel handle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the funnel is straightforward; ensure the spout is dry before insertion to avoid cross-contamination of fluids. The funnel is compatible with most standard automotive fluid reservoirs. To care for your Brookstone funnel, wipe the interior with a clean shop towel immediately after use. If used with oily substances, clean the residue with a mild degreaser and warm water. Always store the funnel using the attached hook to prevent the spout from touching dirty surfaces on the shop floor.
