Best way to get veg in my tank one man method?? - Chris_90 - 23-02-2013
Well as above im getting veg in 20 liters, i carnt hold the funnel and hold 20 liters of veg in one go i have to keep getting people to help also seems to take ages to pour the veg in though the funnel got to be a quicker way? .
So whats the best way to get it in my tank need something that will hold its self while im pouring and be big enough bore to flow quick but at same time enough space round the filler neck to let air out as im putting it in.
No daft answers please all though im sure i will get some one say just pour it in lol
Help welcome

Robingsons pop bottle ones with the big neck, screw into the fuel neck cut bottom of bottle off
Punch 3 holes in the tin opposite side of the lid and pour
Empty the drum in less than 30 seconds

I tried this the first time but the bottle wouldnt hold its self there had to get some one to hold it in place for me, would work good if i could get it to hold its self in place.

You need to cut the end of the funnel off bud. Trust me
For some reason the end is really narrow, I cut the end off and it flows quicker than I can pour the veg in now!

i got one of them black ones were its flexi on the end its quite a big bore on it and i chopped the point bit of the end so it flows better but was still slow, quickest way was the milk bottle way just finding a way to get it to hold its self in place while im pouring it in

Get a funnel, go to scrappy and pull off string bit from parcel shelf, attach string bit to boot lid when open, attach other end to funnel, pour away

Just mtfu! Lol I just rest the funnel (half a bottle) in the hole, n hold the veg with 2 hands and rest it on there, holds it fine
RE: Best way to get veg in my tank one man method?? - Dum-Dum - 23-02-2013
Get a funnel (the big orange ones are best) stick it in the tank then get your veg drum, cut an air hole in the back of the handle. Stand close to the car and rest the funnel on your stomach so it dosent fall over, lift the barrel, tuck it under your arm and start pouring, use the neck of the barrel to steady the funnel
RE: Best way to get veg in my tank one man method?? - cully - 24-02-2013
expensive but i can recommend a Polarn Pump for a jerry can it will empty a whole can in around 40 seconds
we use them on rallys for transfering fuel

Some good replies on here tbh
Try some rubber hose about 12" tapped to a funnel n drop the rubber tube into tank should hold it in place then bud

Got some veg today so probably be filling up tomorrow, got a milk bottle with a funnel end on hopefuly that will work if not got a siphon pump on its way if not plenty of other options sure i will get there in the end.
Thanks for all the replys guys

Decant half the 20L into an one of the 20L containers you've previously used.
It's easy to hold a funnel and pour in 10L, then just switch containers and pour in the other half.
also with the funnel there might be a gauze filter in the bottom, just oik it out with a screwdriver and the veg will flow much better.

Except the old tank seal is renowned for being a pig to get to seal properly, so constant moving of the tank access is only going to make it worse.
