I recently got my 07 classic 3500 dually and decided to use Stanadyne Performance in my fuel. My questions is what ideas do you have for measuring and adding the fuel to the tank. If you are almost empty it's easy. But, if you are adding fuel to a tank that is not empty, you have do do some figuring and measuring. As I figure 1 oz. will treat 3.75 gals. of fuel (16 oz.divided by 60). What do use as a fill bottle. I guess you need some sort of long neck container graduated in ozs. Thanks.

an old baby bottle works very well.

Go to any bike shop and get a ratio rite which is used for mixing two stroke oil in dirt bikes. Works really well for this.

I had a measuring cup I would carry with me (Plastic), but I had to clean it everytime. I fill up three or four time a week, so it got old. Now I just add four oz's at every fill up.

I have a long neck plastic bottle that has the ounces needed for a full fillup. If I have a half tank and fillup I don't worry about it. Most fuel additive manufacturers have a recommended dose but it does not hurt to be a little heavier on the dose.
