Don’t you just like discovering those little things that make your life easier with hardly any extra effort?
During our extensive travels in Europe, you come across things from time to time that make you think that some countries look out for their motorists more than others. In France for example, 2-stroke oil can be purchased at petrol stations, car garages, motorist accessory shops and even supermarkets, while in Italy some garages offer riders complimentary visor wipes for your crash helmet.
Meanwhile in Holland, we’ve come across disposable paper funnels offered free at garages to help refill your engine oil and it is this one that we discovered a reusable version recently, available to purchase and carry around with you.
So what is it?
Wunderlich’s Folding Oil Funnel makes filling up with fluids a cleaner process. It is made of a flexible oil and petrol-resistant material, so as you would naturally assume, is suitable for both.
Why do I need one?
If your classic scooter has two separate saddles, maybe you find it a little awkward to add two-stroke oil after filling with petrol? There’s not much space for an oil bottle between the seats, and in strong winds the further away you pour the oil from, the more it is likely to miss the tank filler.
What else?
Getting gearbox oil into a Lambretta engine – especially at the side of the road – is a lot easier with Wunderlich’s Folding Oil Funnel too. It’s just the right size for the job.
And then?
Well, after use you can simply wipe it clean and once folded away it takes up hardly any space at all and is therefore easily stashed in a tool box/roll, ready for action.
Lab report
The simple ideas are often the best, and we like this one. The Wunderlich Folding Oil Funnel costs £6.00 including VAT, and is available from exclusive UK distributor Nippy Normans.
