Any market interest in a 5qt jug hose? My prototype

[Nukeman7]

Right but another issue I’ve had with funnels, is the base of the funnel either butts up against the opening or baffle of some sort, causing leaks. My 3mz-fe is like that. Hardly any room for a funnel. In this case, I prefer a tube concept.

This funnel is designed to alleviate that problem with Toyotas that have the shallow baffle.

Harbor Freight also has a kit with multiple adapters for different style oil fill cap openings.

I have that funnel for my 5.3L’s - although the newer one has gone back to the much needed fill extension off the valve cover …

I use these at work in whatever size I need for the job. All sorts of sizes and configurations. I just fill them up out of the bucket or eco pack pack the oil atf or gear oil comes in that I buy.

I don’t know if I should bother to go through the hassle to bring something like this to market. I’m looking for a leak proof way to fill a car. I don’t like the funnels because they don’t deal with glugs. I find glugging makes it harder to avoid drips. My prototype worked ok, but I found the breather hose doesn’t work very well. My finger is over the breather hose. It spilled out oil, so I had to cover it with my finger. I’d need to make a single hose that both breathes and pours.

But all in all this pours oil faster than without, because I can squeeze the bottle to really get things pouring. I like the idea. Think there’s a market for this?

I could not find one of these for a 5 qt bottle, only 1 qt bottle on Amazon.

I think it is a great idea, as long as it was cheap, and not leak from the seal.

The issue you will have is the fitment to the bottle itself, as many oil bottles are different sizes.
