  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Cheap funnels

    I've done this before myself a couple of times, but it ocurred to me that it was not something everyone might have thought of:

    Cut a plastic soda bottle in half, and you have an instant funnel.

    The 2-liter ones are better because they have a wider diameter, but even the usual 20oz ones will do in a pinch. Either one fits great in an oil filler hole, and also fits snugly enough to use around the top of a transmission dipstick tube. If they get nasty, throw them out.

    Works well in the kitchen too. The 2-liter size is perfect for pouring rice, sugar, flour, beans, etc. out of the bags they come in and into storage canisters. They seem to hold up fine in the dishwasher too.

    Skip has just described the most common fishing boat urinal. Avoids leaning over the side and falling in.

    Cut on a diagonal and you can use it to bail the boat too. Best part is the handle.
