Easy way to add Power Service Anti-Gel
So head down to Walmart and buy one of these (I buy the 96 ounce size):
and one of these (I buy the 32 oz size): Either pour the Stabil into an 80 gallon container of gasoline or pour it into the fuel tank of the diesel. I use about 32 ounces in 2 years so I poured half of it into my lawnmower fuel tanks, an put the other half into an old quart oil container for next year - clearly labeled. The stabil container is perfect for dispensing Power Service. I put in 1oz per 3 gallons of diesel, which usually means that I add 3-4 oz of PS per fill-up. With the Stabil bottle it is quick, easy and has no mess. -Tad

yep........I need a solution like that.
The 12 oz. plastic food cup is practically decomposed from the chemicals in the Power Service. |

I used a lot of 2-cycle oil in the past, Amsoil in nice 8oz bottles and other additive bottles in the 8-16oz range. I probably have 15-20 of them. I recycle them as additive bottles pre-filled with my favorite additive or additive blend based on each vehicle. Its very easy to just dump the contents into the tank without trying to measure out the correct dosage. It also ensures that when my wife fills the tank the additive gets added and she doesn't spill any on herself. All the bottles are labeled "fuel additive" with a sharpie and I have 3-6 doses in each vehicle. RT

Did you know a Gatorade bottle will screw into the fuel neck? Makes a great disposable funnel if you cut off the bottom.

Power Service Diesel Kleen in WVO?
I was just given a bottle of Diesel Kleen for Christmas by a fellow diesel driver - obviously I can use it in my main tank with the B20, but would it hurt/help to add a few ounces to my WVO tank?
I have a GreaseCar system and a VegTherm Mega installed, so my WVO is running very hot - how would that impact WVO with some Diesel Kleen in it? Might that be dangerous - hot Diesel Kleen going into the motor???

I guess I'm just old fashioned......
I have a suitable length small funnel (also use it for adding ATF)......and I use a plastic, graduated, paint mixing cup......like those used in body shops......
....and yes, I wipe it down before using it for ATF..... SB
