Tolsen Service Flexi 230mm Spout 145mm Pre-Filter Funnel

MPN: 65230

Barcode: 6933528765370

Size: 145mm

Overview:

The Tolsen Service Flexi Funnel features a 145mm diameter opening and a 230mm spout, built for controlled fluid transfers in automotive and workshop settings. It fits a broad range of filler necks, making it a straightforward choice for oil changes, coolant top-ups, and similar maintenance tasks.

A built-in stainless steel mesh pre-filter sits within the funnel body, catching debris and particles before they reach the receiving container. This helps keep fluids free from contamination during transfers.

A 250mm extension tube is included for accessing filler necks that are recessed or awkward to reach. The PE construction makes the funnel simple to rinse down between uses.

How to Use

• Position: Place the spout or extension tube into the target filler neck or container opening, guaranteeing a steady fit.

• Pour: Slowly pour the fluid through the 145mm funnel opening. Keep a steady, controlled flow to allow the mesh filter to work.

• Filter: The stainless steel mesh catches any debris or particles as the fluid passes through. Check the mesh periodically if handling dirty or used fluids.

• Remove and Clean: Lift the funnel clear once complete. Rinse the funnel body and extension tube with clean water and allow them to dry before storing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Is the extension tube flexible or rigid?
  The extension tube is ribbed and flexible, allowing it to bend and hold a position. This helps when routing fluid into filler necks at awkward angles.

• Can this funnel be used with diesel?
  PE (polyethene) has good general resistance to diesel and common automotive fluids. If you are working with specialist fuels or chemicals, check compatibility with PE before use.

• Is the mesh filter removable for cleaning?
  The stainless steel mesh is integrated into the funnel body. Rinse it under clean running water after use to clear any trapped debris or residue.

• Will the spout fit standard car oil filler caps?
  The 230mm spout is designed to fit a broad range of standard filler necks found on cars, motorcycles, and light commercial vehicles. For deeper or narrower openings, attach the 250mm extension tube.

• Is this funnel suitable for AdBlue?
  PE can be compatible with AdBlue, but AdBlue filler necks are typically narrow and require a dedicated nozzle. This funnel is not a replacement for a purpose-built AdBlue dispenser.
