Funnel Information
 

Greetings,

Can anyone provide information for this funnel.

I do know it was used for the MKII carrier for fuel.

I am seeking:

Part Number
Description
Stowage details, official
Manufacturer's Name (Long shot!!)

ANY information is helpful.

Thanks,
Harris

Bumped... for further interest, info, yak.

The Australian Army had, up until the 1990s at least, the same/similar funnel. Some batches were made by Cecil & Co, Bayswater, Victoria. The centre gauze on the Aust version was hinged.

It was something like 'Funnel, Outboard Motor' or similar... its a long time and another country ago, so I'm a bit vague on details. The drawings provided to the company back in the 60s were dated in the 1930s.

Carrier funnels
 

I have noticed there are two types of funnel, one that is symmetrical withe the outlet dead centre between the sides and front to rear, and the other has the outlet flush with the back wall, while centred between the sides.

The symmetrical one is for CMP trucks I believe.
The other style allows the funnel to sit hard against the rear panel of a carrier to line up with the fuel filler on the gas tanks.

(Have also noticed that you can invert a 2 gal can in the funnel)

I'm guessing that they are not all military either

So is the funnel stored on top of a 2 gal. fuel can?

I haven't noticed the funnel stored on cans in old photos.

The funnell isn't as robust as an ammo box, so is probably stored inside a locker somewhere.
Has anyone noted the funnel on stowage diagrams?

carrier fuel funnel
 

These pictures are of the fuel funnel and stowage stencils in my Mk.2 canadien carrier, it appears thet two funnels were supplied, one over each filler cap. John.

Kind of makes sense to just leave the funnel where it is going to be used.

I have a dozen or so of these funnels. There were hundreds at an old time surplus store as recently as two years ago.

The petrol funnel for the MK-II* appears to have part number CTL 14163, and inventories to the C31UCW series only, as a single part.
The image is from Andy D of Crawley, a superbly equipped tools stowage bin.

If I understand the part numbers correctly, the other funnel is a CMP part number, C01Q 17199C?
That funnel is capable of fitting a spout, C01Q 17190B.

Is this other funnel similar to what Robin B is describing?
IIRC, Jordan B knows where this funnel is stowed on the MK-I* series.

WWII Canadian Funnel
 

This is the example that I own.

Sorry, my memory is pretty bad and I don't remember where they are supposed to go.

John (Blackpowder) I was also wrongly under the impression that the funnel was the one that looked like half a funnel. That obvious stowage is something that hadn't occurred to me either...... Don't forget I'm little over an hour away from you if you have a spare one. :) Ron

Stowage in the lockable off side box over the fuel tank vs under an non locable access door on the near side....

Pictures do help
 

here are pics of my two. Probably easier to interpret my description above.
They show the different spout location, and the ribs inside the top edge.
The other pic shows how a 2 gal can fits in the funnel

One is C^ marked, the other is likely a civvie one.
