Filling 16oz bottles from a gallon jug?

[Marshall]

I probably should know the answer to this question but here it is anyway. When trying to refill my Wheel & Tire cleaner 16 oz bottle, with a new full gallon jug, how can you pour it in correctly and not make a mess? I have the thread on bottle funnel, but man that full gallon of W&T cleaner just doesn't seem to pour well and not run down the side of the jug! It's certainly not as viscous as other Adams products but it seems to pour the worst of anything I've got. Almost like the gallon jug needs a type of spout attachment? Does anyone have any thoughts/ideas here? Thanks!

Google is probably your best friend for this solution just search for:  Gallon Pump Dispenser

You'll find many options and they are rather inexpensive, especially if you pick up a pack of 4 or larger.  Each one should last the life of the gallon and most of the time you can go through two or three gallons before they need replacing.

Note:  Don't move them between gallons, there are always chemicals left in the pump so once it goes in a gallon that is the only product it should be used for.

Thanks for the response Ray! I looked into the gallon pumps that would fit the Adams jugs the best but then I came across another item. An on/off refill spout. I purchased 4 of these and actually used 1 tonight with my Wheel & Tire cleaner gallon jug. With the Adams funnel on my 16 oz bottle it worked perfectly! No mess. The on/off collar works a little stiff to control the flow but not too bad. I'm going to use this on my 4, less viscous, Adams products.

I use the screw-on funnels as well. Just take your time and perfect practice makes perfect!

Chops1sc, yes sir, that simple white screw on funnel makes it much better. Now with that and the yellow on/off gallon jug spout I found, it makes pouring W&T cleaner simple and mess free. I used another of these spouts to top off my Total Interior cleaner. Another thin product. It worked perfectly as well!
