Make it easy to dispense fuel additive...

I use an old Sta-Bil bottle. It is easy to measure the right amount based on the amount of fuel I'm going to pump into the tank. Ed

I was just thinking the same thing, after purchasing a case of FPPF last week. My current plan is to mix larger quantities at the transfer tank using a small graduated measuring cup. Still crude, but at least less often.

Something like two-cycle oil containers would be nice, squeeze the amount needed into the pouring recepticle and maybe add a little longer spout and your there!

Bulk treatment of ULSD presents a problem if you're using a metal storage tank. Most diesel fuel lubricity additives are comprised of a polar group of chemistries (fatty acids and/or esters), which are attracted to metal and form a boundary layer between closely fitting metal components used in a diesel fuel injection system. The relatively low concentration of 10ppm to 250ppm treatment (depending on which type of lubricity chemistry is used) could be nearly eliminated by the metal storage tank.

This polar reaction is a big concern to those who receive fuel that was treated at the refinery. The metal piping and storage tanks used in fuel distribution could result in no lubricity additive making its way into your truck's fuel tank. The best time for a fuel distributor to add a lubricity additive is while the ULSD is being transferred to the local fuel station's non-metallic fuel storage tank.

Very interesting post! I've noticed that my aluminum aux tank seemed to get less fuel economy than my poly OEM! I couldn't figure out what was up with that. I guess the aluminum tank is "scavenging" my FPPF? The mileage gap between tanks has narrowed in the last year or so, has my aux tank gotten "passified" by exposure to FPPF over 6 years?
