Funnel in a flash

If you are ever in the need to add oil to your bike/truck/car and don't have a funnel. Here is a quick alternative. You can buy a bottle of water or sport's drink and use the pop up cap as a funnel. It will save the mess and oil going all over the place :oops:

Water bottle tops (distilled water that is) also work for battery filling. Not perfect, but it cuts way down on spillage

Yea :roll: you be amazed what it does for the ole digestive tract.
Just like castor oil as a baby 8O 8O :lol:
 
A neat trick for filling up batteries is to get an earbulb syringe available at most good pharmacies. You know the kind that are used to suction the gunk out of baby and toddler's noses. just fill it with distilled water and easily and accurately add or even remove excess water from the battery. It fits right in the holes and no splashing acid on you.

Another thing that works great to avoid spillage is the battery vent tube. When I bought my bew battery it cames with a bottle of batter "juice" that had a small nipple on it. I dunno what they were thinking because there was no way I was going to get the fluid in without getting it all over the place. So I took the new vent tube (since it was too short and kinked to use on my bike) hooked one end up to the nipple and stuck the other end in the battery... worked like a charm.
 
Another funnel

Another funnel

After you finish that bottle of oil with the drinking spout cut it in half. You now have a funnel.
