Product Information

Full details

This Laser Tools Fuel & Additive Funnel is designed for petrol vehicle owners needing to perform emergency refuelling or add fuel additives. Its key benefit is providing a clean and controlled way to dispense liquids into petrol fuel fillers. A primary caveat is that it is *only* suitable for petrol and not for diesel vehicles. Key features include its polypropylene construction, an angled, notched, anti-splash rim, and a specific outlet diameter for efficient flow.

FAQs

Can I use this funnel for my diesel car?

No, this funnel is specifically designed for petrol (gasoline) fuel fillers only. A separate funnel is available for diesel vehicles (Laser Part No. 8021).

How do I clean the funnel?

Clean the funnel with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing.

What material is the funnel made from?

The funnel is manufactured from durable polypropylene (PP) plastic.

What are the dimensions of the funnel?

The total funnel length is 165mm, and the outlet diameter is 21mm.

Why does the rim have notches?

The notches on the rim help to allow air to escape from the fuel tank as you are filling it, preventing 'glugging' and splash-back, which makes for a cleaner and safer filling experience.

Is this suitable for adding oil or other liquids?

While it can dispense other liquids, it is optimized and designed specifically for petrol fuel fillers and fuel additives. For other liquids, ensure they are compatible with polypropylene plastic and that the filler neck is appropriate.

Can I use this for regular refuelling?

It is best suited for emergency refuelling or adding additives due to its size and controlled flow. For large volumes of fuel, a larger funnel might be more efficient, but this is perfect for its intended purpose of controlled dispensing.

Troubleshooting

Funnel does not fit the filler neck

Verify that your vehicle uses a petrol filler neck. Some very narrow or unusually shaped filler necks may not accommodate the 21mm outlet diameter. Ensure the funnel is inserted correctly.

Fuel is splashing out during use

Ensure the notched rim is properly seated against the filler neck to allow air to escape. Do not overfill the funnel; pour at a steady, controlled pace. Check that the funnel is not blocked.

Funnel seems to be flowing too slowly

This is by design for controlled dispensing. Ensure the funnel is not partially blocked and that the fuel tank is not already full, which would impede flow. For larger volumes, a larger funnel might be considered, but this is ideal for additives and emergency top-ups.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed for petrol, ensuring safe and effective use.
  • Durable construction from polypropylene plastic for extended lifespan.
  • Anti-splash rim design minimizes mess during refuelling.
  • Controlled flow rate due to its 21mm outlet diameter.
  • Compact size for easy storage in a vehicle's emergency kit.

Cons

  • Strictly for petrol use only; unsuitable for diesel engines.
  • Does not come with a storage case or cap, requiring separate storage.
  • May not fit all petrol filler necks if exceptionally narrow or unusually shaped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This funnel requires no assembly. Simply insert the outlet end into the petrol filler neck of your vehicle.

Compatibility: This funnel is designed exclusively for petrol (gasoline) fuel fillers only. It is explicitly not suitable for diesel vehicles, as indicated by the product description. Always confirm your vehicle uses petrol before using this funnel.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the funnel with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely.
  2. Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing with sharp objects that could damage the plastic. Ensure it is stored away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the funnel for any cracks or damage. If damaged, discontinue use.
