Fuel funnels make moving liquids cleaner and easier. They’re commonly used to add gasoline or diesel, top off engine oil, refill coolant, and pour transmission fluid without messy spills.

• Spill control: Wide-mouth bowls and angled spouts help steady pours.
• Reach: Long necks and flexible hoses get into tight spaces.
• Cleaner fill: Mesh strainers can catch debris before it reaches your tank.
• Capless tanks: Some funnels are shaped for capless fuel systems.

You can explore multipurpose automotive funnels online or in store, and pick the style that fits your vehicle and the fluids you handle.

For gasoline, look for an automotive fuel funnel made from fuel-compatible plastic with features that help reduce spills.

• Wide mouth: A larger bowl gives you better control during pouring.
• Long or flexible spout: Reaches recessed filler necks and awkward angles.
• Mesh strainer: Helps filter out particulates that may be in the container.
• Capless-friendly design: If your car has a capless fuel system, choose a funnel shaped for that opening.

Safety tip: Pour slowly in a well-ventilated area with the engine off, avoid open flames, and wipe up any drips. You’ll find a range of options at Walmart.

When working with gasoline, it’s best to use a purpose-built fuel funnel or a container with a secure, directional spout. Improvised household items can leak or crack, which may lead to spills and safety risks.

• Short-term workaround: If your fuel container has a built-in spout, pour slowly to control flow.
• Quick solution: Compact, collapsible, or snap-design funnels are easy to store in your vehicle.
• Plan ahead: Keep a dedicated fuel funnel in your trunk or garage.

You can order a funnel on Walmart.com and choose convenient pickup or delivery options where available.

Keeping dedicated funnels for different fuels is a good habit that can help reduce cross-contamination.

• Separate use: Label one funnel for gasoline and another for diesel.
• Clean thoroughly: If sharing a funnel, wash with warm soapy water, rinse, and let it dry completely before switching fluids.
• Filters: Remove and clean any mesh strainers independently.
• Storage: Store funnels upright in a clean, dry spot to limit residue.

This approach can help maintain fuel quality and minimize odors. Multi-piece funnel sets make it easier to keep one per fluid.

Match the funnel to your task and vehicle.

• Large bowl: Better for fast pours into roomy openings, like trucks or equipment.
• Long neck: Helps reach recessed filler necks on many cars.
• Flexible hose: Useful when you need to bend around obstacles.
• Detachable spout: Adds reach and makes cleaning easier.
• Mesh strainer: Handy when pouring from cans that may carry debris.

If you have a capless fuel system, consider a funnel designed for that style. You can browse multi-use and automotive funnels at Walmart to find a fit for your setup.
