Hi Fred,

I couldn't find the thread on this list when this subject came up a few days ago, so I thought I'd make a new one.  I saw the Mpeg on their website you sent me to and thought it was great.  It almost seems too good to be true how well this works.  I should have it in my hands in a few days and you can bet I'm going to demo it for myself just as they did in the Mpeg.  I think I'll be leaving out all the debris in my test, but will certainly try the "water" trick.  Thank you again for recommending it to me

Hey Fred,

I ended up ordering it from a dealer on Ebay.  His feedback was 100% and extremely fast with email responses.  The cost of the F3NC seemed resonable, like $17.00 even with the shipping, so I ordered it.  He has the full line on Ebay.  One of his Ebay auctions are number,  4352316462.  How do you clean the thing out, does it come apart in any way? From the video, it wouldn't allow water to pass, only the dye colored gasoline.  But how is the water in the filter, removed or do you just let it dry out?

  Richie,

      Thanks for the Ebay site, have 2 friends going to buy it!!              

I shake the trash out , if any, turn it upside down to dry.

When dry, put in a plastic bag to stay clean!!

Hi...

If there's debris and / or water left in the funnel...
I dump it into a container for his purpose...

If it looks pretty clean... or little stuff in it...
I dump it back into the fuel container...

Hi there Marshall,

ROFL...I remember Bobby's name mainly from our other forum, but I can only assume by you kidding around that it must have something to do with me always wanting to prove "claims" of product performance by manufacturers.  If that's what the joke was referring to, yes, I'm guilty as charged  

I learned years ago to keep power of suggestion or simply a belief out of the mix.  Things become very subjective in that respect, rather than objective.  Look at the direction my other thread is going with the Tecumseh HP issue.  Now we have Marty adding his research, that no doubt from what I've been doing the last few days in my spare time, was a frustrating and maybe an exhausting experience for him to come up with what he did.  Unfortunate his research may have been lost on the other forum.  He seems to know what he's talking about and I have to add it into the mix until Snowshoveler (Chris), whom everyone here seems to respect and trust, including myself, can determine if its a little bit of numerous factors that contribute to horse power ratings.  If anything, all this and many other threads on this board make for some entertaining reading, especially when we get hot under the collar about them.   Marshall, come up with a really controversial thread, let's keep the ball rolling!

I bought two of them (one for my dad.......I'm tired of cleaning out gas tanks and carbs for him, you could make a bale of hay out of a couple of his tanks!)

My only knock on them is that there is a couple tablespoons or more of fuel left when they are done draining.  There is a frame that supports the membrane and it sits above the floor of the funnel, not allowing the last bit of fuel thru.

I saw that Dave either throws it in another container for disposal or pours it back in the can if it looks clean.  That's a good solution.  I pour mine into the jugs of old oil that I take in for recycling.  I just wish this wasn't necessary.  It's not a huge deal, but filling the gas tank, shouldn't take more effort because of which funnel you use.

No Richie, let me explain. 

Bobby was Moderator here that has seemed to disapear. Anyway, he had three products that he pushed on the forum all of the time. One was Honda anything, the other two were Pri-G and Mr. Funnel. We always accused him of working for them or having stock in them or something. I was joking around, thought maybe you remembered that about him.

He must have done a good job of pushing these items.  Now I remember how PRI-G ended up in my garage, and have been using it ever since   The difference is that I love Honda and really wanted a 724, but the two or three Honda dealers in my area here, in New York ,treated me terribly and made it seem like they were doing me a favor to even answer a single question.   You may actually recall way back I mentioned to the forum that I had gone into a dealer, didn't see a single snowblower and asked, "do you have any snowblowers I can look at"  The response I got was, "you come in here to buy, not to look.  Pay for it and when it comes in, you can look at it"  I'd never recommend one, ONLY for that reason.  I could never send someone with $2,000.00 in their hand to a dealer like that, to be treated so horribly.

The old arogant as*hole approach huh? Never worked on me either. LOL
