The old "tractor" funnels have a fine brass mesh through which the diesel goes. The mesh is fine enough to cause droplets of water to be stopped by the mesh thanks to the surface tension of the water. It's not intended to stop vast amounts of water to be separated from diesel but gives you a quick indication that the diesel you are pouring into the tractor has water in it. If you are in an area that likes to sell you 50/50 diesel/water mixture its probably worth filling Jerry cans first and after it has settled fill the vehicle using a tractor funnel that will let you know when you are down to the water in the bottom of the can.
Once an emulsifier has been added to diesel fuel contaminated with water ; will Mr.Funnel separate the emulsified fuel / water mixture and allow only clean pure diesel to flow through ?
To anyone who's used one of these. If you're running in countries with really crappy fuel stations. How are you supposed to use this to fill up your vehicle? It appears so slow to come through the funnel. It'll take about an hour or more to fill your tank surely? A fuel pump would be way to fast for it. Are you suppose to just use Jerry cans or what? Great product. I'm just confused how you use it at a fuel station?
Surely it is designed for filtering fuel from cans, cans that may contain rubbish/water etc, I would like to think most fuel stations have reasonably clean fuel?
The only part I don't like about the smaller one, I think it's the second smallest is the massive sump in the bottom. If you don't put water in the bottom you end up wasting quite a bit of diesel or gas.
If that's not a sales video then I don't know. Cause I would for sure not test a filter by letting the filtered product run into a water filled bucket, smell it and state "that's Diesel for sure"....

it's slow on the video because the filter is elevated some for water to stay at the bottom fill it with more fuel and it will flow faster
Bought one of these for garden equipment
Don't stop 100% of the water on the first strain
I had to strain 4 lt of gas 4ctimes to get 100mm
Water out
Hello sir , how can we made this funnel

Will it work with bio diesel?
i prefer the Décanteur DSC1... about 0.6 gallon per minute... 36 Gal per hour.

What a great idea. Cheers Steve
Not feasible.
too slow...
