Funnel storage

I'd appreciate any ideas you guys might have for storing funnels. I can't think of a good way to do so that can keep them clean and safe other then what would be a very large drawer (I tend to forget about them and run over or step on them)

I keep thinking something similar to a five gallon bucket with some holes in it but haven't planned anything yet

Weirddeere,

My husband made a wire hanger for the largest funnel, then stacked the smaller funnels inside that big one... and hung them on a nail in a rafter (in an out of the way spot).

We do have a low ceiling in our shop though... in its former life, it was a hog house of the old fashioned variety.
 
I use large horse shoes with a tab welded to it to store funnels big one in first then smaller ones in that
 
I do similar , I drilled a hole at the top of my biggest funnel and hang it on a nail fastened to my work bench. All other funnels will fit into it. I always wipe my funnels before I use them and after to prevent dirt , bug , dust contamination. I simply select the size I want to use and set the rest back. Wipe , use , wipe and restack
 
Have a big plastic tray ( like you mix mortar in ). I use that when i drain oil. I just throw all my funnels in there. That tray also holds four five gallon fuel cans very nicely fir transport.
 
I have my funnels hanging on the wall from a nail. and have a small soup can with a nail also hanging under each one for the oil to drip into. then just empty can every so often. I throw a rag over the top.
 
I keep my large gasoline funnel upside down on a shelf with a shelf above. I do not use it for diesel fuel.

I keep my smaller funnels upside down one inside the other in a plastic pan that I use when I drain oil or anti freeze. Again, I do not use these for diesel fuel.

A few years ago, I bought a plastic pail with long pour spout (once ubiquitous at full service gasoline stations for pouring water into radiators) from NAPA. Yes they are still available but you will need to order one. I use this to transfer diesel fuel from 5 gallon cans into my small diesel powered equipment to avoid spillage and the need to hold a full 5 gallon can above the fill level. I keep it on a shelf with shelf above and covered with news paper when not in use. Before each use, I visually inspect to see if any insects have found their way inside and rinse it with gasoline periodically, insects or not.

Inside a closed plastic drum for mine , all of them stay free from dust , no insects, feathers or bits of grass . Never a need to even wipe them either .
 
Would about a tote box like this? It?s closed up, you could label it and place it on a shelf, I also have bigger ones, this one is for dry cat food.

This drawer ones are nice too.
 

I have a piece of PVC, maybe 2" ID and 3 feet long that sits in a 5 gallon bucket with some chain in it. I just put the spout of my biggest funnel in there and the rest fit in that from largest to smallest. The 2 really long, thin funnels I have fit in another bucket in the same fashion.
 
What I am thinking of making is a 'Christmas Tree' affair from steel rod. Set it into a pan of some sort. Put the funnels upside down on the 'branches' so the oil can drain back onto the pan and so dust won't collect inside the funnel. The Dust will be on the outside where it can easily be seen and wiped off.

Right now I am just looking for the steel rod, it would be great for it not to cost anything.
 
I keep mine upside down on a shelf. I prevent contamination by wiping them out as best I can and then twisting the end of a paper towel tight enough to go through. I then pull it out a bit until it tightens up against the taper and that keeps dust/dirt/bugs out.

Next use pull the end of the towel and draw it through. Nice and clean and ready to go.
 
Ended up cleaning them all and placing in a 5 gallon bucket, I'll clean after use and put back in. Simple, safe, and no double cleaning.

Thanks everybody!
Brandon
