If the liquid is fairly thin, you can siphon with aquarium tubing. If the bottles are not too deep or oddly shaped a basting syringe would be an option. |

In the future, the old chemist's trick is to put a rod of some sort into the receiving vessel, and pour from the source vessel onto the rod. The liquid will tend to cling to the rod and will go right into the narrow-mouthed receptacle. In your case, the rod can be as simple as a drinking straw. Art |

Works well. Had a transmission fluid leak on the old TransSport that required adding about a pint of ATF a day while on a trip. Miserable thing to get to the trans filler/dipstick with an oil container so I grabbed a sport drink bottle out of the reash (one with a push/pull "nipple" to drink out of) and filled it with ATF. Tip the "nipple" into the filler tube, pull the cap open, and squeeze. No more pouring fluid all over the engine compartment (at least from the top) |

Think of Old Spice Aftershave bottles; they have very small mouths. Think of teeny funnels. They make them. Other than that, maybe a hypodermic syringe and cut off needle. Or very small tubing. You can actually get free syringes at the pharmacist if you don't look too bad. Might even talk them out of a "butterfly" minus the needle, which is a tiny tube that fits onto the syringe. Steve |

If the source bottle is flexible, you may be
able to wrap your hand around the neck of the bottle, to seal it. Squeeze the bottle, and the presure will force liquid through the tube. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

Take some clear aquarium tubing and try it with water to understand how it works. You need a tube more than 2 times longer than the depth of the container you're siphoning from. I snip All of this is almost as bad as the guy who uses his cellphone and types in a text message to contact his buddy, who is sitting at the other end of the bar. Just use frikkin funnel, for crying out loud. Why does everything have to be high tech these days??? I swear, we live in a generation of idiots..... |
