I have one of those big folding funnels and it really is a nice bit of kit. Unfortunately, it's a little too wide to fit on the side of my Saracen while filling, so I don't get to use it.

Cheers,
Terry

And there I was thinking it was a field latrine...

I better start using mine for it's intended purpose !

Just slightly different to the old fashioned "gonophone"

Spotted this today so it made me think of this old thread.

No, it's not a 20 ton bottle jack, it's a grease gun.

I have to wonder why every Brit doesn't have arms like popeye having to use kit like this.

By the way, I am still tripping on two of those funnels every time I go in and out of my workshop. I have no idea where to put them.

I must have missed this thread the first time around.

I've got one of those hoppers as well. The point of them (as I understand it) is to leave 2-3 jerry cans emptying while jumping down to get more - those left stay up-ended in the hopper. It's made quite robust to support the weight.

This makes it quicker and easier to refuel large fuel tanks.
