If they don't have paper funnels...
You know the problem. You go to a 'self serve' gas station and need to put in some oil. Usually they have tose paper funnels handy but sometimes not. I've even seen a time when there were not only no funnels available but they wanted to SELL you a pack of cardboard ones.
No problem though, here's how to make your own.
1. Take your water bottle empty and recycle it in a new way by cutting out the bottom.
2. Shake it out well and wipe dry with one of the paper towels at the pump island. If none are available in the dispensers there, get a napkin from the donut area inside. You don't want water in your oil. Hold it in the sun [if available] to dry completely.
3. Use the funnel in the normal manner.
4. Wipe clean with one of the paper towels at the pump island. Put it with your car tools in the trunk for 'future reference.'
...make your own!
