Metal & Plastic Funnels (84 items found)

Make fuel transfers safe, quick and clean with one of the many metal and plastic fuel funnels available at Ace Hardware, then shop for other equipment to help with your home maintenance.

What Can I Use Funnels For?

Throughout your home and garage, you have machinery that runs on different types of fuels. Gasoline, diesel, kerosene and more might be stored in your shed or garage to run a variety of outdoor power equipment, such as lawnmowers, chainsaws, tractors and more.

While getting and storing the fuel is easy, the transfer process is often cumbersome and difficult due to broken or hard-to-open nozzles that are either too long or too short to transfer the fuel into your desired equipment. But fuel funnels and siphon pumps make your job easier.

Whether you go with metal or plastic funnels, or a siphon pump to transfer liquids, find out what each option has to offer to help make your job safer and easier.

Difference Between Plastic and Metal Funnels

The main choice you will have to make is deciding whether to opt for a plastic funnel, a metal funnel or one of each. Depending on your situation, you may just need the one, but both types of funnels have places in your garage or shed.

Plastic Funnels

Coming in a variety of sizes ranging from a small plastic funnel to a larger design, plastic funnels make a great option for transferring fuels. The many advantages of using a plastic funnel include:

• Their lightweight design compared to their metal counterparts.
• Relatively more affordable options than funnels made of various metals.
• Designs made to withstand heat and cold as well as exposure to different chemical substances.

Ace offers many plastic funnels, including sets that stack for easier storage. What’s more, plastic funnels can easily double for other activities, like cooking, to handle all of your funneling needs.

Metal Funnels

Steel funnels or other metal funnels can be heavier and more expensive than plastic funnels, but the weight is still manageable, and they won’t break the bank. Tending to be sturdier than their plastic counterparts, metal funnels can also feature:

• More durable galvanized stainless steel funnel construction to stand the test of time.
• Odor repelling properties to avoid unpleasant buildup of bad smells.
• Oil, chemical and weather resistant designs to encourage long term use without rusting.

And with designs to latch on to the spot you funnel fuel or other liquids into, metal funnels are staples of any tool shed.

Siphon Pumps for Added Versatility

With the ability to easily transfer, drain or pump liquids, siphon hoses make a great addition to any home or garage, complimenting your plastic and metal funnels well. They allow for quick transfer of liquids while minimizing spill risk, making it safer to transfer potentially hazardous liquids like gasoline.
