filling up trans fluid

So I was woundering how you guys will up your manual trans fluid. My dad has a system will a long tube/hose taped to a bottom top, Than the bottle top screws onto the trans fluid bottle. Here is the pain in the a$$ part: The tube/hose is such a small diamiter that you have to squees the bottle to get the fluid out and it takes for ever because there is no hole to let air into the bottole to push the fluid out.

So how do you fill your trans fluid??

I made a system out of a windshield washer fluid bottle, six feet of clear ¼”silicone tubing, and a small 12volt air compressor. Here is a quick drawing of it.

I made the same tool using an old garden sprayer. The pump was shot so I drilled a hole in it and installed a tire valve stem so I can fill it with the compressor. I replced the nozzle with a bent pice of copper tubing. Mine will hold 60 psi of pressure so it will work with gear oil below freezing.

Just use a Funnel and some hose. As long as the funnel is higher than the end of the hose, it will pour out. With the hose and funnel being full that is.

Ever used a beer bong before? Me neither.
