    Cool

    Hi
    I use a FTTP product in my truck. When i go to fill up i turn the diesel nozzle upwards,pour the additive in the nozzle,then put it in the tank and start filling,i figger that the additive will get the maximum mixing that way.

    Yukon, That's a neat trick.... I wonder how many ounces it takes to fill the nozzle?

    A commercial opportunity exists for the aftermarket to produce an easy to use, no spill - no mess way to measure and accurately dispense fuel additive. Frankly, I'm surprised the additive manufacturers haven't done it. They would sell more additive because people would be more inclined to use it - more of the time.

    Another thing that should be done is, the bottles should be labeled in large type indicating how many ounces (or ml) should be added for a 26 gallon tank and/or a 34 gallon tank (Stanadyne comes close to doing this on the side of the bottle). People can do the math for less than a full tank.

    For several years now I have been using the bottles I ordered from United States Plastic Corp. They make it easy to measure the number of ounces I need at each fillup. I ordered them online. If I managed to do this right, the address below will show the bottle I use.

    Dmaxprof:

    That bottle is very similar to the bottle that I described in the above post.
    The one that I use has the same type of bottle on a bottle and is marked off in ounces 1 thru 4. By tipping over the bottle, fluid will fill the attached bottle to exactly 4 ozs. Being marked off 1 oz increments makes easy to dispense in lessor amounts for maybe a half tank of fuel.
    It works very well for me.

    The Sta Bil bottle works good. Amsoil's newest additive comes in 16 oz. bottles with a long skinny neck with clear marks every 2oz and a treat rate of 1oz per 5 gal. works real well also.

    Hello,

    I know this is an old topic but take a look at the EzyPor it works great with my additive.
