It was a big funnel maybe 1 foot in diameter with straight sides for 4 or so inches before narrowing. You removed the tractors gas cap and this funnel was sat in the gas tank opening and turned to lock in place just like the cap. This way it wouldn't move when you were using both hands to hold the 5 gallon jug of gas while pouring. I believe the gas fill opening is pretty standard but the tractors I'd be using it with are a Farmall Cub, Ford 601 and an Allis B. Does anyone know where I can find one now? If you can post me a link I'd appreciate it. Thanks. [Reply]   [No Email]

It would kinda be like a britta filter for fuel. [Reply]  [No Email]

As for myself anything that fits through the screen is a job for the tractors fuel filter. [Reply]  [No Email]

Come to think of it I don't believe my fathers 601 has a sediment bowl. He's never had a problem either. One thing you might could try is using a large coffee filter in the funnel. I think they'd tolerate gas but it'd take a long time to fill the tractor through a filter. You can get store brand coffee filters in cone/bowl shapes that are quite large. But that is not w/o it's problems either. [Reply]  [No Email]

Then again I hear you can get static sparks filling a plastic can in the back of a pickup. I still fill mine there anyway. [Reply]  [No Email]

So I'll have to avoid spilling like 6 gallons of gas to pay for it. :) Well if I avoid spilling it all over me and the tractor I guess that counts for something too. :) I hope it works.

I am not certain if they are still available but would check to see if a GOOD auto parts store can order one for you, e.g., Plews, etc. Dean [Reply]  [No Email]

Just curious as to how well it works? The funnel I have locks into the gas tank filler neck just the same as the gas cap, and I'm pretty sure the style I have is still available from a Tisco dealer.
