Drum Funnel with Flame Arrester Screen for 30, 55 Gallon Drum, Yellow

I wanted something for a home garage to drain oil pans into a larger vessel. Our local auto parts stores will take 5 gallons at a time. Was using 5 gallon buckets but there is some mess from pouring at times. especially if filled w/ 5 gal. Switched to those square tall race fuel type jugs and they work great (bought mine at Tractor Supply but amazon has also). Measurements are marked, holds more than 5 gallons, easy to pour w/o slopping. Originally was going to build a sheet metal funnel shelf to be able to pour oil pans, let them drain and put oil filters to drain too before throwing away. Thought about using expanded metal for the floor or using a plastic soda 2-liter type crate. I came across this Eagle drum funnel, and it is perfect for my needs. I purchased the lid too. Building a simple angle iron frame to hold funnel and I can slide the used oil jug underneath for small foot print. Not a flimsy product. Very solid, funnel has no flex. Has a spark arrester screen in it which I wanted to prevent debris and gaskets from entering old oil. Great product. Glad I found this solution.

I am a home gardener who uses large 55 gallon drums to collect water for my garden. By setting this on top of my drums, I am able to fill my drums with fresh rainwater when it rains. This is the perfect way to collect water and have it go right into my sealed water drum. The funnel fits perfectly into the top hole. While the price is high, it is well built and won't blow off the top of the barrel easily. It is very easy to clean and the brass screen prevents debris from getting into the drum. It is a great investment if you collect water.

Update 2025: still holding up, even after baking for years in the Texas sun. Am pleased. UPDATE: after reporting to Amazon, I was sent a brand new one. As you can see from my updated photos, it’s amazing and definitely heavy duty. We set it on our rain barrel. We shall see how it stands against the rain, but happy to have have gotten a better product. Received a very defective item, with holes in it. For $60 plus some change I would expect there to be better quality control before shipping. Someone literally saw the item, thought wow this looks right, put it in a box and shipped it to a customer. I have ordered a replacement and will change my review upon getting the newer one.

Works very good

Anyone that has an option to dump oil into a 55 gallon drum and have a local company come out to suck the oil out when it fills up, well this drum funnel is much easier to use vs a normal automotive funnel. Noted: the funnel does want to move around a tad but I improvised a solution.

Have been looking at local part stores and no one knew what I was looking for. I run a small equipment and generator service company and needed something for my waste filters and oil drums to let the filters and oil jugs drain over night. These are very thick and excellent quality and have a very good metal strainer built in.

Very nice product. Makes oil disposal a breeze. Screen in the funnel helps filter out giant chunks of things to keep drum clean. Just set it in the drum and use it. No hassle. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the price. It is very nice, and only product I could find, so in that aspect it’s worth it. Just wish it was a little cheaper.

I decided to "Go Green"-er and make a rain barrel for my wife and her extreme love of all things green. My biggest problem was that my house in southern Georgia does not have gutters and I wasn't keen on installing them anytime soon. I needed something that could collect a large amount of runoff from the roof of my house in a corner that a lot of water would concentrate in when raining. I made the rain barrel with a new water barrel that I found cheaper on a competitor's site and some parts I ordered from Amazon like teflon tape and two brass faucets. My local hardware store is insanely overpriced for everything since we're in smalltown USA. So, I had everything installed and functioning with no way to collect the rainwater efficiently. I looked at a bunch of options like tarps spread on posts with twine or cables holding it up, making a massive collection point, a special funnel produced by some company online specifically for collecting water in a free standing rain barrel (which was WAY overpriced and, thankfully, out of stock), and then THIS. I am extremely happy with this automotive part for my purpose! It works perfectly for my specific application. Now, to be fair, you would definitely collect more water faster and more efficiently if you had gutters and a a special application to divert the water from the gutter downpipe, but this works great after one or two real good rains. My wife waters her back porch garden full of all kinds of flowers - both potted and planted in the ground. If you have a small flower garden, one barrel should be enough. If you have more water needs, you could always setup more barrels as overflow, but gutters would definitely be much more prudent. Regardless, this was great for me with my little corner where water would flow like a waterfall during a rainstorm.

Solid unit, good weight to it, tall walls, angled to drain with mesh. Way better than anticipated. Worth the price.

Heavy duty, quality funnel.

Works perfect and screen is a bonus

Very sturdy funnel. Fits top of plastic drum perfectly.

Much heavier construction than I anticipated, very good quality, should last for a long time., Warm or moderately cold temperatures don't seem to affect it.
