I've just remembered: we had a proper Fordson Standard fuel funnel, it was shaped like a square box with a curved bottom to fit the shape of the tank. I think that my brother still has it and uses it to rill up his DB 885. Another thing that we had was a Schrader tyre inflator, one end of the hose had an 18mm fitting that would screw into a plug hole and tyre connector on the other end. You set it up and with the engine running on 3 cylinders, you filled up the tyre with fuel/air mixture. Not so good for the longevity of the rubber I suppose, but better than a foot pump.
I've pumped up a few tractor rears with one. If that doesn't teach you patiencen nothing will. The new E1A Major that my father bought in the early 50s came wih one.
