A little funnel helper.

Recently purchased a small Mr. Funnel. I normally load gas by just pouring it directly into the OPE tank. But since I now use the funnel, one hand has to hold  the funnel and the other, the gas can (which can be heavy when full). Fuel just about overflowed the first time I used it as I could not really see the fuel level rising. A non-issue with plastic tanks as you can see the fuel level (the blower has a steel tank). I eventually ended up cutting off the upper part of a clear plastic soda bottle and using it as a funnel helper.  Now both hands hold the gas can and I can also see the fuel level. Works great and you just can't beat the price too!

Very nice mrmom very nice.Â
Mr. Funnel may also think so and charge an extra $5 for the Mr. Funnel Spill Preventer.
Are you going to patent this?
