Burpless Funel
Rick Mabeus, Winfield, Iowa: "I was tired of always having funnels burp oil back at me instead of flowing right down so I came up with this idea for a ęburpless funnel'. It works by simply allowing air to es-cape while you are pouring oil into the funnel, instead of getting the normal belch when air has to fight its way up through a funnel filled with oil. I simply ran a small piece of rubber tubing down along the side of the funnel. I made the tubing about the same length as the funnel and taped it to the side of it. Use the smallest diameter tubing you can find so you can still slip the funnel into the fill opening.
"I'm hoping to put a funnel like this on the market but you can make the modification to any existing funnel with a little tubing and tape."
