Key Features and Benefits

• ABS plastic construction: Keeps the body lightweight, making it easy to hold steady with one hand during fluid-filling tasks.
• Wide opening: Reduces the risk of spillage when pouring into small or recessed filler necks.
• Long neck: Guides fluid into deep or recessed filler openings that a shorter spout cannot access.
• Hi-vis blue finish: Stands out against dark workshop surfaces, so the funnel is quick to find in a busy environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Why use a long neck funnel instead of a regular funnel?
  A long neck reaches into recessed filler openings that a standard funnel cannot access. Modern engine bays often have restricted space around filler necks, so extra depth helps direct fluid without spillage.

• What automotive fluids can you use a plastic funnel for?
  Plastic funnels work for engine oil, coolant, antifreeze, and windscreen washer fluid. Brake fluid should always have its own dedicated funnel - even trace amounts of oil or coolant contamination can compromise braking performance.

• Should I use a separate funnel for each type of vehicle fluid?
  Many mechanics keep a dedicated funnel per fluid type to prevent cross-contamination. At minimum, brake fluid should never share a funnel with oil or coolant-based products, as contamination can damage the brake system.

• How do you clean a plastic funnel after use?
  Wipe the inside with a clean, lint-free cloth after each use to remove residue. For a more thorough clean, rinse with brake cleaner, allow to dry fully, then store in a clean location before the next use.

• What size funnel is best for topping up engine oil?
  A wide-mouth opening of around 100-130mm allows faster pouring and reduces spill risk. A neck length of 400mm or more also helps navigate past obstructions in the engine bay to reach the oil filler cap.
