Little Tricks

When I check the windsock I decide on the proper runway to use by imagining I want to fly OUT of the windsock – otherwise I’ll get caught!

Not only that if you pour it with the nozzle lowermost, the oil will “glug” as the air has to get past while it’s pouring, leading to a stream of oil that wildly moves and changes flow rate. If the nozzle is uppermost, the air has a way to get in without bubbling through the oil coming out.

The same idea goes with 20 liter canisters when you want to fill a bottle from them: Put the canister on a table and tilt it with the orifice kept on top of the canister. So you get a better angle to pour into the bottle without needing a funnel. Just go slow with tilting and no problems. Vic
