Really does filter out water,

This review is from: Mr. Funnel AF3CB Fuel Filter (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased two of the Mr. Funnel Filters: the F3C size and the smaller F1C size. The FC3 filter funnel has the filter raised above the bottom of the funnel so you always have about 3 fluid ounces of fuel left over in the funnel each time you use it. This design allows water and debris to collect in the bottom of the funnel without obstructing the filter. You must "dump the sump" after each use. The smaller F1C size does not have a sump area. I prefer using it to fill my lawnmower, chain saw or weed trimmer, since almost all the fuel goes through its filter.
I tried putting water in the funnel and it will not go through the funnel. The funnel also claims to be anti-static. Nice design.

At the very least this is a nice deep funnel; the addded ability to remove junk from the fuel is certianly a plus. It is a bit larger than I thought it would be, so I may pick up the smaller one as well.
The depth and straight high sides is nicer than the sloped sides of a regular funnel when pouring from a large can; you do not have the issue of it shooting out the other side from where you are pouring.
I have read, here and other places, about concerns with the amont of fuel left in the 'sump' when you are finished. I can understand if you use it at a gas station and have no place to dump the sump, but if you use it often at home or work, and you are concerned because the cost of fuel has risen to obscene heights again, try this: pour the remains into a small fuel container dedicated for the leftovers. After it has built up enough pour THAT through the funnel.
Some folks may not realize how much water may be in the gas they use. Now that alcohol is...Read more

Mr Funnel as funnel,

Excellent Item. It removes water and debris from gasoline just as advertised.
It has one problem, and that is if you were trying to fill your car through it at a gas station, you have to "dump the sump" and gas stations do not have a barrel for used contaminated fluids as the sump holds about a coffee cup of water or gas and debris.
If you are looking for a funnel to fill your lawnmower or other small engine at home and keep water out of the tank this funnel is perfect.
