  1. evertyime i top the oil up by decanting into a tonic bottle (they seem to be the only ones empty!*hic*) and then putting it in via a funnel, i wonder if there is a better, quicker, less contortion needed way?


    is there a gizmo that helps, a gadget that i didn't know about? or, is it just the way it is?
     
  2. excellent! (but 6.95 delivery is a bit steep) does it work for a bay? i still find the tonic bottle too long.
     
  3. Its a slow pourer so take your time.
    I use a top off a medium sized lucozade bottle then a 500ml jug to pour it in. Easy and no mess.
     
  4. its perfect for bays,i didnt get mine from them just showing you what i meant.
    got mine at a show many moons ago
     
  5. thabk you both. i like the idea of the jug, will keep an eye out for one.


    next question, where do you all keep your oily bits?

  8. I put the lucazade funnel inside the jug then wrapped in a plastic sandwich bag. Been fine for years so far.btw its a plastic measuring jug get them cheap from yon supermarket.
