When I accidentally dropped the drain plug into the funnel, it caused a rupture and oil ran down the center stand, missed the pan and soiled the floor. Arrrrrgh! What a design!
Has any owner had experience with something along these lines?

I have an old plastic 5 litre oil container that I cut one side out of. One with a spout, so its easy to empty. The Funnel is best made out of hard card or plastic.
