How well does this fit into filler neck of a car? Looking for a quality filter to be able to fill a vehicle from a 5 gallon gas can. Thanks.

It will not fit into the filler neck of unleaded gasoline road vehicles. The smallest part of the tapered funnel is over 1 inch in diameter whereas the filler hole on unleaded gasoline vehicles is about 3/4 of an inch. This funnel is meant for farm, construction, and recreational vehicles with large filler openings not for cars or other road vehicles that burn unleaded gasoline.

i would think this is ok to use as it goes in the gas tank. i would check with vespa or their website to make sure. i use it in the winter only. keep in mind however, this product is generally used in auto /truck applicstions and goes into a full tank of gas. i would guess the vespa holds a couple gallons so i would use maybe an ounce or so per tank. also you would be better off buying it at an auto parts place for less than half of whay you pay here. it is a relativly cheap item, the shipping is ridiculous.

I sat mine inside of a ten gallon tank when I was moving, it fits but takes up almost half of the tank. It will be fine if you have something less than 4-5 inches in there. Just keep in mind the water level has to be a certain level for the filter to function properly.

I tried this product but would recommend the HG-1 version. My car still leaked until I used that product over a year ago. Good luck!

According to europaparts.com this filter is also used in the TT with the 3.2 L petrol engine. So you should be good to buy one of these for your car.

Thank you for your question. This oil filter works with filters ranged in size from 2-5/8" to 3-1/2". We hope this answer has been of help to you.

This is a 20 micron filter, fuel injected usually recommends 10 micron. It wont filter out as much which in turn maybe could cause issues with your injectors. We can't advise you either way, just give you the information and let you decide.

I purchased this funnel in order to fill my car and SUV from a 5 gallon can. The flexible tube allows me to insert the end of the tube into the gas filler opening at an angle and position the top of the funnel horizontal. I then close the gas filler cover on the funnel to LIGHTLY hold it in place. As long as you hold the 5 gallon can above the funnel without touching it, the funnel will stay in position and you will be successful. With a full can this is difficult for me, so I try to position myself so that I can use the side of the car to help support the can. For my Pacifica, I use a small step ladder to get above the funnel. If you keep the gas can above the funnel without touching it, you will be able to use both hands to hold the can which is a necessity for me.

More than a few of the reviewers I had read discussed using the 7/8" hose to put gas into their cars. At least one said the 7/8" will go into his vehicle that takes regular unleaded gas. One reviewer reported that he temporarily got his stuck in the car inlet because there was a small brass lip at the end of the nozzle. His solution was to file the lip off and has not had any issue since doing so. A repeated comment was that in order to empty the can into ones car one would need a funnel to allow more space between the car and the gas can; otherwise, the can may not be tilted high enough without hitting the side of the car.

It filled up the air shocks on my pickup to 150psi no problem. Just remember to shut it off every 10 minutes of use or the motor will overheat. Great little inflater. It uses a simple 540 size motor you can replace if needed too.

Not sure without knowing more about car. Does this cap match the one specified? Also have you done any modifications to the filler neck? Are there any obvious signs of decay with any gaskets in the proximity of the filler neck? Lastly you should only tighten the cap about two clicks.

This filter fits into a 4 inch pipe. And it snaps in snuggly. The filter itself is only about 3 inches, but the top part snaps into a 4 inch pipe and stays there. You can then turn the handle and remove the filter from the top piece, but it stays put. You need a 4 inch pipe for this to work.

The way I have did it the last three years is, with around 1/2 tank at the station, put in the BG44, then fill the tank up. I do this ever spring after the car has been in storage through winter. Runs like a top in the spring.

I made my own carbon filter with ~20oz of activated carbon. It could be used with any commercially available filter of the size (mine was 4"). I made my own because commercially available options did not meet my space requirements. The DIY filter worked wonderfully.

Interesting topic of discussion. I wonder how does the siphon technology in this filter differ from Wix or ACDelco or Motorcraft filters, for example? Thanks men!

If it was, as is the case with other 'EPA Certified', it would be hard to use and leak copiously. I have several of the Carb-Compliant cans all of which leak during use and transport. A full 5 gallon EPA Compliant can is very hard to manage... trying to activate the Carb-Compliant spout while holding 30+ pounds of fuel upside down is just not possible. Fuel ALWAYS spills around the fill port. Good job, EPA! Always trust a desk-bound bunch of bureaucrats to screw up a simple can!
