Hi Tom, I'm glad you posted that because I realized this just prior to ordering it. Like you, I hate filling a fuel tank and accidentally over filling it, just to spilling fuel all over the place. My gas can is one of those larger 5-6 gallon plastic types. I also have a spare one that I keep in the garage also. I figured after I fuel the can up, I was going to take it home and install the funnel on my spare can and pour the fuel into that one rather than use the funnel directly on my OPE. I don't know if this defeats the purpose, because I don't know how much, if any, these fuel containers attract water just by sitting around. This is my solution, hopefully a good one. What I don't like about my TEC engine is that I recently switched it over to Mobil One 5w-30. There is only about 40 minutes of time on the oil due to this recent storm here in New York. But I noticed that the rubber breather tube had some white goo dripping from it (obviously water mixing with oil) and when I checked the oil, this same goo was on the top half of the dip stick. When I see this, I just wipe it off. Given the fact these carburetors are completely open and always exposed to the elements, and maybe the breather tube as well, I really don't know if this water or condensation issue can truly be eliminated. Not to mention the fact these winter fuels really attact water by their very nature. I thought of running the engine for a short while each day to burn it off, but that really isn't a viable solution to me, not to mention putting needless hours on the engine.

Hey Fred, This was the strangest thing with this Ebay seller. First, this guy had the fastest shipping I've ever seen. I was on the computer checking the tracking number, and it says it's out at my front door Then I open it up, great packaging by the way, inside was a one page instructions, the guys business card paper clipped to the instructions with $3.00 cash to boot The actual total with shipping I sent them using PayPal was $23.74. I've never heard of a refund like this, but I'm not complaining, just caught off guard. Anyway, great funnel.
