All my funnels have little holes in them for hanging them, so first I just made small hooks to stick through the holes and then onto the conduits, but then I realized it would be much better bend the wire around again so the funnel can&#8217;t come off, saving me from looking for lost hooks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1138\" src=\"https:\/\/mechanicalmalarkey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2016_06_20_02.jpg\" alt=\"2016_06_20_02\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It turns out that when you use funnels, especially for engine oil, there will be some of the fluid still in the funnel, and will slowly drip out and make a mess all over the wall and the floor. I took an empty coolant jug, cut it in half, drilled a couple holes, and used some coat hangers to suspend it from the same electrical conduit, making a drip container, keeping my area clean.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>New blog posts every Monday and Thursday, plus pictures throughout the week on <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mech_malarkey\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\">Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>-Dan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few months ago I wrote a post about making caliper hangers out of coat hangers.
