Does it with with oil/gas mix?
first i've heard of it. finally an answer for getting water out. i can think of a dozen ways this will make my life easier. Great video. thanks.
Steve you should mention that the one in the link is the small size funnel. 2.5gal/min. Flotool makes bigger ones. Add them to the links.
So , my question is " how does it work?"
@@Everyday_Richard If you REALLY want to know why not just buy one and find out?
holy crap Steve, you just saved me from finding out where to dump 15 gallons of dirty gas. Thanks man for the video
Thanks, Steve! An old aircraft maintenance trick that accomplishes the same thing is to use a piece of chamois to filter the gasoline. Water stays in the chamois, gasoline passes through. Did this far too many times in Northern Ontario. Stay well!
Great tip!
It would be good to take it to the Bar and filter my drink before I taste it and get a refund for the water in it! 😆 😅 😂 🤣😆 😅 😂 🤣
😂
I was skeptical of these. UA-camd it, Steves video came up first. He has not steered me wrong yet. I trust his advice. I will be buying one. Thanks Steve for all the helpull videos.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
I contacted Mr. funnel and asked how it worked. They said "It's magic" and that's good enough for me.
Right on
FM - f**king magic.
Theyre not giving any of their secrets away lol,is the mr funnel available outside usa/canada?
They work great, as long as the water is not emulsified in the fuel. They also don't work so well if you shake or agitate the fuel can that has water in it before using the funnel, as it temporarily bonds with the fuel and it passes through the coated screen with the fuel, and will soon separate back out of suspension and you will then have water in your equipment's fuel tank anyway.
I only buy premium unleaded with no ethanol for my equipment and so the only water I'm straining out is from the water in the bottom of the 10,000-gallon tank at the filling station. The water sits in my gas can for 10 minutes before I transfer it into my steel gas can. I've conducted a few tests with a granulated test tube and after the ethanol and water are shaken, it only takes a few minutes for the water to precipitate out of the solution. My gas station gas has negligible water in it.
Thanks Steve - I just bought one on Amazon for my generator after a power outage a few weeks back, not so much for the water removal than it looked like the best, most stable size for filling the generator. My old funnel left gas splashing all over the place. I was skeptical about the water removal function but now know it works which is a bonus. Keep up the great videos!
Fantastic!
I’ve been using it for over a year. I even go so far as to filter old gas through it and reuse the gas. Takes out water and dirt. Can’t beat that at Sears.
I recommended Mr. Funnel to you several years ago. I have a complete set of Mr. Funnels and love all of them. I fill a 5-gal No-Spill Poly Gas Can with Premium Unleaded gas at the filling station and then when I get back to my place, I pour 5-gallons from my plastic can into one of my 4 high-tech 5-gallon steel cans using Mr. Funnel. I then add Sta-bil and Lucus fuel treatment and then fill up a 2.5-gallon No-Spill Poly Gas Can again using Mr. Funnel for use in my equipment using un-mixed gas. I also fill up a 2.5-gallon No-Spill Poly Gas Can filtered again with Mr. Funnel and then add Stihl Synthetic mixed oil in a 40 to 1 ratio. I never have any gas problems in my lawn mower, snow blower, string trimmer, lawn edger, chain saw, etc.
"I've been playing with this for two days". 😂😂😂👍
I had never heard of these funnels before, but I am 100% impressed.
Right on
I just got one so I don't have to buy new heater kerosine every year, glad to see you didn't find a bug.
I'm guessing that I need that tomorrow morning.
Just bought one from Amazon UK. £32. Works a treat 👍🏻
Used to for years,have not been to the repair shop in years.I use a big one for my tractors also.It works for all types of fuel.
I'd like to find a big funnel like the one that you had. Are they available at tractor supply companies?
I had water in a can of of diesel fuel one winter and I purchased this funnel to get the water out and it worked perfectly.
Right on
Thank you for testing this yourself ! I was one of many asking for your opinion on Mr. Funnel. I have been using Mr. Funnel for years and believe in the product. This filter also does an excellent job of stopping any debris from entering your gas tank. Take care and thanks again...
Fantastic!
Going to give it a try on my fuel for lawn equipment, vehicle and my boat. Amazing demo.
Have fun!
Amazing, thanks Steve for telling us about this one.
My pleasure
Steve great video , I bought a Mr Funnel and it works just like it said it would ,,,even with out a beer !!!
Good stuff!
I had the green version of this funnel a few years ago. It actually does a great job. I would like to see a video on sucking debris out of a riding mower tank. I've used a claw tool for big stuff, & a copper line hooked to a clear line attached to a vacuum pump. Let me know if you have any better ideas. Thanks
Another helpful video. Thanks. Wild comment section on this one.
Glad it was helpful!
Best demo I've seen for some time. No special provisions must be met for it to work, it appears it JUST DOES. Thanks great for marine as well.
Chris Boyce
Wow, thanks!
I've been using one for years, but never did the test you did to prove it. Thanks.
You're welcome
Been using one for a couple of years. Really pleased with it. Thanks for the video.
Great to hear!
Steve great video. You should try the Mr. Funnel to remove ethanol from gas. Add water to gas shake let rest for 5 minuets then pour through Mr. Funnel and see if the ethanol and water is removed from gas. Give it a try. Thanks
Wow that is cool, I see the regular funnels but I have never seen this one before. Maybe cars should have something built in like this where there is a valve to drain off condensation or debris.
Agreed!
Thanks Steve. This is going to save me downtime weedeating, because my trimmer is so picky on fuel.
You're Welcome...
I’d like to see it with 40:1/50:1 mixed fuel, with regular ethanol fuel, and diesel just for kicks
I use one to filter the diesel going into the tank on my tractor. Works great.
It works fine with two cycle mix fuel as well. Have done it many times in the Arctic. The oil molecules mixed with the gas are so fine they go right through the mesh.
@@JHruby A previous comment says it does not. Possibly differences in viscosities?
OH MY GOD!
Steve, totally blew me away in the very last seconds of your video! I howled!
And, the review on the fuel filter was the best!
Good stuff!
LOL! Right on
What an excellent demonlstration, now when I build and use my ethanol separator I can use the funnel to eliminate all water and hopefully the ethanol in the tailings of the fuel canister.
@Thinking Impaired, can you really separate the water from ethanol fuel to truly make non-ethanol fuel? I have seen a few videos of this, but really don't know.
@@JohnSmith-tv5ep yes it's easy because ethanol loves water. And gasoline hates water. Get a glass cup or bottle add half gas and add about 20% water. The fluids will separate much like oil and vinegar separate in salad dressing.
Water ethanol will be on the bottom. Some people add food coloring to make it easy to tell the difference.
So if you design a container that you can drain off what's on the bottom of the mix you'll remove the ethanol water mix.
@@thinkingimpaired5663 thanks for your reply! So,.... a question, would it make a difference using 'tap' water, or would you have to use 'distilled' water?
@@JohnSmith-tv5ep I'm not sure, I'm using distilled because my water is high iron content well water.
Great demo, I'm sold, going to buy one.
Right on
Good one Steve! I’m getting one!
Cheers!
Briggs and station sell something that looks very similar for $29 here in Australia.I will be getting one.Cheers
Steve, you never cease to amaze me. And save me money with your videos.
I bought Mr. Funnel to add to my arsenal of tools for my gas powered toys.
This gadget does what it says it does. Amazing technology and quite affordable.
Thank you so much Steve
You're Welcome...
I've heard that if you want to make ethanol free gas, you can take regular gas, mix it with water, the ethanol will cling to the water and then you can pass it through the filter and only the pure gas will come out.
In a phenomenon called "phase separation", water mixed with ethanol gas causes the alcohol molecule to separate from the water molecule and fall to the bottom of the tank and the gas tank then pumps water to the engine instead of ethanol gas and the car comes to a halt. Mr. Funnel will not take water out of the ethanol molecule but it will take water not mixed with fuel out of gas you get from the filling station. Once ethanol gas gets into the gas tank, it can be contaminated with condensation and once the level of condensation gets large enough, phase separation can occur. For all of my engines, I use nothing but Premium unleaded gas that contains no ethanol.
Thanks Steve! I think we all have been plagued by water in our gas at some point.
Just ordered a 5 GPM model for fueling my mower, thank you for showing this.
Good luck!
Steve I was curious, I have a mr funnel and it works amazing for taking water out of the gas. One major question I have is I’m going to be making ethanol free gas with the water in the gas truck. My question is when the water and ethanol are separated from the gas if I pour the gas and water mixture down a mr funnel would that take the water and the ethanol out or would the ethanol get re combined with the gas when I try to pour it into the funnel after it’s separated
Easy way to tell if it does or doesn’t would be too run it through the Mr funnel. Then afterwards put the filtered fuel into a graduated cylinder with measurements marks on it, say 100 ml of fuel then add 20ml of water. Then look at the measurement llone too see if the water that has separated from the fuel is at the 20ml mark! If it is then the ethanol was removed. However if the separated water is now say at 30ml that means that the ethanol was still in the gas.
Never heard of or seen a funnel like that. Down here in Florida condensation is always a problem. Thanks
You're Welcome...
I bought three of these for Christmas presents this year after watching this video. They work fantastic! Thanks Steve!
Great to hear!
Wow! It really works! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Test diesel. Water contamination is more of a problem for diesels.
They make one for diesel too.
Yes.Works for diesel too .
@@sandrafright9048 it’s the same one as far as I know. Either way it works great with both.
I use it also for K-1 kerosene.Works great.Also,they come in several sizes.
Right on
Thanks Steve
You're Welcome...
I never use the last bit of fuel in bottom of cans...this helps.
Excellent funnel.
I will get one.
Love your show s informative and pleasant.
Our pleasure!
Great demonstration. I went and bought one.
Good job!
Awesome! Thank you!
I had never heard of Mr Funnel before, thanks I'll be buying one. 👍
Right on
Nice one Steve. I been using MR Funnel to clean diesel in my boat fuel tank. I pump dirty diesel and water out of the bottom of the built in tank, into a gallon jug. Filter that and return it to the tank......repeatedly. My fuel filters are much cleaner now. Does it separate diesel bug ? Sure does ! L&R from the UK.
Good stuff
Now that is nothing short of magic! Sweet dude.
Right on
Thanks! I just bought one and feel better now, knowing they work😅
Great!
Question? what if you trying to remove ethanol from your fuel by adding water shaking and let it. If you pour that ingredients through this funnel will it leave you with fresh non ethanol, no water in the fuel? Great video. Thanks
Well Steve it's been 9 months since my last comment.
Did they give you any coupons for their product review (giveaway).... You did a great job in your review and so did their product.
Steve, it is because of your tube videos that I learned how to properly maintain my first Still chainsaw. Needless to say, when I recently bought a MS360 that had only been run about 15 min, it was your video on how to start a flooded chainsaw by holding the throttle and pulling the hell out of it to get it going. I got a steal on the saw as nobody had been able to start it.
This Mr. Funnel video was well-done straight to the point and actually convinced me that I need one. I hope you get reimbursed for products sales because you definitely deserve it. I will be sharing this video with a few friends of mine as well. Thank you
Awesome comment, Thanks Willy....
Pretty amazing, I have never heard of those funnels before.
Right on
Steve you always review products that are so kewl and that really help us live a better life. I didn't even know this product existed. I'm so going to buy one from your link. Thanks
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
hey steve just wanted to say its the ones that say they not advertising and affiliated are the ones that actually are, i trusted u steve
Amazing. Never seen them before. Thanks
You're welcome
Been using these myself they work like a charm
Right on
Been using it for years.Cheap insurance and it also filters out all those particles you get mixed in with your gas from your locale gas station pump.
Right on
Wow Steve that was cool it doestake the water out of the gas like you said man that thing is neet and thanks for the great video once again ....
Right on
Mr Funnel works like a CHAMPION. I’ve got the next bigger size from the one in the video. I store mine inside a gallon zip lock baggy. Fantastic for lawn mowers, outboards ect. My advice is If using for farm tractors large boats ect spend the cash buy the biggest one . It has two of those towers and should work at closer to the speed of a regular funnel. The singles are really slow for pouring from a 5 gallon can ect. Well worth the money and in my experience last a lifetime , 15 years and counting. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😻
I even used mine to salvage some old dirty rusty fuel oil to burn in my tractor.. NOTHING showed up in my clear bottle tests and clear prefilter. I did run it through twice to be sure and diluted it with a lot of new oil before running it but no problems at all. I can’t recommend these enough just don’t go cheap with a small one or you’ll be getting tired of holding that gas can really fast
Right on
Sweet! It will certainly help those who're using old fuel that has phased.
Wow blown away at that, I just ordered a f1 version for mowers and generators, only difference is size of funnel.
Right on
That's crazy Steve im going to buy one now. Thx so much
Any time!
I'm like one of those funnels, beer in & only water out. Except for that time I ordered some beers and was standing at the bar & I poured my high school bully a "tap fresh" tall glass of foaming beer. He complained that it was warm & tasted strange, but He drank it. I smiled.
Thanks buddy. I will buy 1.👍👍👍👍👍
Good choice
I might pick one of these up. Could help me save some gas. Thanks for the video!
Any time!
The little Coleman lantern funnels was doing that 40 years ago.
Yup still got mine
Have you ever tried to fill a 5-gallon gas can with the little Coleman lantern funnel???
That's where I've seen this b4 thank you.
How do they work?
I've never seen a little Coleman except for Gary.
Great bit of kit!!!!!!!!!
Just bought one. Thanks Steve.
Good choice!
Great test! sure beats cleaning out carbs --- thanks Steve!
You're Welcome...
Good day from Ont. Yes I bought from CTC a few yrs. ago. Mine might be a different brand. I paid $13.00 back then. But mine you may not fill up, pressure or what ever lets water thur. Also you cannot drain completey empty, so you always some gas or water in funnel I bug from CTC premium gas & don't worry about it. Thanks
Very similar idea to the GATS jar used to sump aircraft fuel tanks.
OK, lets talk about gas with 10% ethanol, this will absorb water up to a certain limit, I don't know what the scientific name is, but up to that point it will absorb the water and hold it in suspension, however pass that limit and the water separates out taking the ethanol with it, now the question is, will the ethanol/water mix go thru the magic filter?
I think you are referring to hydroscopic. Absorbs water.
@@jimpikul8551 Actually, the term is "Hygroscopic". A Hydroscope is a device which enables a person to see an object at a considerable distance below the surface of water by means of a series of mirrors enclosed in a steel tube.
Droid thanks for the education. That’s the new thing I relearned today!
This seems like alien technology! I love it. I will be looking for one now! Thanks for the video👍
You're Welcome...
I'm curious to know if it will filter out the ethanol. There isn't anywhere around here that sells straight gas and I'm tired of messing with my carbs all of the time. Love your videos, great advice. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
If I were you I'd run my equipment empty and never leave the ethanol in the carb.
Thanks this video actually helped with what I wanted to know
You're Welcome...
A lot of us in Alaska use these when refueling from barrels or cans.
Right on
Thanks for the video. I just bought one but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Good to know.
You're Welcome...
What a great demo. This has to be some type of magic.
Thank You...
And now, for the final test, drop a match in that funnel. Nothing But Water right?
It seems that this crowd has two
Bobby Greene and they match
ha ha ha good one
Off the Mr funnel site: Q. Will the filter work on mixed fuel with 2-cycle oil in it?
A. Yes, but if your 2-cycle oil has a detergent base the detergents can break down molecules of water and some water might pass the screen. Usually only a drop or two but if you are concerned, filter the fuel a second time because unless the sump is full of water, it is not possible that any water passed the filter.
I bought one two weeks ago (sorry before your affiliate link ) Glad to know I made a good investment! Thanks
No worries!
Yes I am going to get one of those. Thanks for letting us know about this.
Any time!
I started doing this with REC 90 gas to run in my mower. It runs way better.
Hi Steve. Really like your show. Could you start doing some shows about the zero clearance lawn mowers?
Great suggestion!
Great demonstration
Thank You...
That is Impressive. Thanks again for doing the research for us all. Thumbs UP.
Our pleasure!
I got educated about water in avgas years ago as a new airplane pilot. Many general aviation airplanes have fuel caps on the top of the wing that go bad and allow water in or sometimes water condensates in the tank itself. A pre-flight item was to always check for water in the fuel tanks (sumping the tanks). Jet fuel has an additive to overcome water in jet fuel. No worries there. No sumping needed.
The funnel looks like a good addition to the equipment shed if you mix a gallon of 2 stroke gas at a time from 5 gallon cans. Otherwise, my Wright ZK mower holds 15 gallons of gas, I empty at least two 5 gallon cans when I fuel it with cans, so all of my 5 gallon cans get emptied completely before I go fill them back up. There's not much chance of collecting condensation in them that way either, and storing them inside keeps rainwater out of the cans also. .
Right on
well, if they made a inline fuel filter that could do this I be more interested, because once the gas is in the tank, that's when you could get phase separation and water, especially with gasohol.
They work, but alcohol mixed with water will pass through, still very good tool to have. I've been cleaning the screen by pouring good fuel in backwards, and you can pour some water in first, to get it to the lower part of the screen. They say to just bang it out, but that will lead to damage.
Told you.
Cheers Rory
Thank You...
I have a Mr funnel just got to find him LoL 😅😂🤣 only thing is always keep a bottle of heat gas treatment around for the removal of water in the gas ⛽
That is an awesome video and product, thanks.
Our pleasure!
I miss the original intro with the breaking glass! Bring that back!
What a great product.Is this the small size funnel you are using in the video.Thanks
Yes, it is
I'd been useing Outerwear products funnel pre-filter screen for years before seeing, then buying the Hoppy product. They all seem to work well, but with the Outwears product, you simply slip them over the top of your existing funnel plus being right out on top, inside the funnel, it's easy to wipe any goo that came out your old fuel jug with a paper towel. When I purchased mine years back, I got a pre-filter for my 2 quart and one for a 4 quart funnel for bigger jobs. Use my little Hoppy funnel for the small stuff, but because of it's less surface area, it doesn't filter as rapidly as the big Outerwear pre-filters do. But they are all effective for "wringing" water out of your fuel. Despite ALWAYS filling up at a station with a pump marked "No Alchohol" (sorry, Steve, no offense ;^), but invariably funnels will occasionally still pull water out, do to fuel jugs taking on some humidity because sometimes wildly varying temperatures (ie like a cold one sweating on a humid day- here's to you Steve) causes the fuel inside the jug, even with its lid and vent on, to still occasionally draw moisture.
