Copper Funnel
After doing an internet search for a large funnel with a 1 1/2 inch end and finding nothing I got to thinking. What do I have in my shop? This is what I came up with.
Copper Bowl- $1. Grage sale
2 to 1.5 inch copper reducer- $12. Leftover from thumper build
Total= $13 bucks. Not too bad for stuff I didn’t know what to do with.

Re: Copper Funnel
Sweet! I got a reducer floating around somewhere and I think the wife has a similar SS bowl that she doesn't need anyway....

Re: Copper Funnel
Have you used it yet? Does it glug? It is purty, so you'll probably hate this advice! I'd be tempted to give the coupler a couple really hard whacks with a BFH to make a dent that will allow it to vent if it doesnt.

Re: Copper Funnel
Thanks guys. I posted this for anyone who is looking for a large funnel and can’t find a commercial one that works.

You know zapata I haven’t tried it yet. I took the picture with it stuck in my boiler. I’ll be using it mostly with my thumper. It has a 4 inch port along with the 2 inch one. So there should be no problem with “glugging” if the 4 in port is open. I think.zapata wrote:Have you used it yet? Does it glug? It is purty, so you'll probably hate this advice!
