Hope this is the right section. This might have been discussed before, but my searches only came up with where the funnel is located....and transmission funnels :facepalm: lol.

Not necessarily an "off-road" topic, but I figure those that do a lot of off roading would be more inclined to have better answers.

I recently used the "emergency funnel" to add some BG 44k before my last fill up. While I was carefully adding it to the truck, I was thinking how frustrating it must be using this to add fuel to the truck. Are there other options for adding fuel without having to use that dinky little funnel? I assume the reason for these little funnels is because most fuel can nozzles are too big?

The funnel is need to get past flaps in the fuel tube.

You almost need a manual to add gas to your truck nowadays. Way too complicated in my mind.

My 2005 Ranger, Insert funnel to keep from spilling on truck body,
My 2020 Ranger, Insert specialized funnel just to get contents to flow into the tank...

I guess you can tell I prefer a gas cap to a gas flap.
