Lisle 17232 Right Angle Funnel, One Size, Factory

What It Is

The Lisle 17232 is a right-angle funnel designed to reach tight, low-clearance fill ports on lawn mowers, tractors, and other small engines where a straight funnel won’t fit. It’s not a mower-specific part but a universal tool for any machine with an awkwardly placed oil, fuel, or hydraulic fluid fill.

Fitment & Compatibility

This funnel works with any mower or small engine that has a fill port you can access with a 1.5-inch diameter opening or larger. No brand or model restrictions—it’s a universal accessory. Before buying, measure the clearance between the fill port and any obstructions (e.g., frame, hood, or belt guards); the funnel’s 90-degree bend requires about 4 inches of vertical space and 3 inches of horizontal clearance. It fits standard 1-quart and 1-liter oil bottles but won’t work with wide-mouth jugs (over 2 inches across). No OEM vs. aftermarket concerns—it’s a tool, not a mower part.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty plastic, feels sturdy and won’t crack from typical shop use, but avoid dropping on concrete—it can snap at the bend.
• Installation difficulty: None—just insert the funnel tip into the fill hole. No mounting or assembly required.
• Common gotchas: The funnel tip is unthreaded, so it won’t lock into a fill port—you must hold it steady. Also, it’s not ideal for continuous-flow jobs (like draining a tank) because the narrow neck causes slow pouring. Clean after each use to prevent clogging from old oil residue.
• Size note: “One size” means a fixed 1.5-inch diameter tip—too large for very small ports (e.g., some push mower engines) and too small for large tractor hydraulic reservoirs.

Should You Buy It

If you’re tired of spilling oil into a tight engine bay on your riding mower or tractor, this funnel is a cheap, effective fix. It’s not for heavy-duty commercial use or tiny push mowers, but for home mechanics with standard lawn tractors, it earns its 4.7-star rating through pure practicality.
