Good source for additive bottles....

Interesting I just called the local Stanadyne distributor, the only one near me, and he pretty much suggested not to bother using it. His suggestion was to stick with a name brand diesel from a top tier company. He stated in clearly that there would be no benefit.... LOL.

Why become a dealer if you do not think the product is any good or worth it?

Here is my story:

In my garage, I have a nice measuring cup, made out of glass. ( Pyrex branded actually, 2 cup)

I buy Stanadyne by the jug.

Users of the Stanadyne jugs will know it will make a mess when they are full in that you cannot just pour out 2oz......

Its too full and you will spill ALOT of product.

In in having run through several jugs, when I get a new jug, I'll take a funnel and pour half of the new jug into the old one so that when I do pour out 2 oz. of LF into my measuring cup, I'm not spilling Stanadyne everywhere.

With my measuring cup and a funnel I simply pour into the tank.
I do this before I fill up if I am decently above the red.

If I'm knowingly on RED, I wait and simply do this after I fill up.

I like all the bottle stories / ideas being mentioned, but I would never want to travel with them daily.

On a long trip, I may consider the ideas being mentioned.... but I've already thought this one out and at present I have a few retail Stanadyne small bottles.

Does DK make a 'one shot' type of small bottle?

I just free pour from the bottle. A little more, a little less, I don't think will hurt anything.

A local fuel supplier in my neighborhood who also owns several fuel stations has recently started blending his D2 with bio from Midland Biofuels (BioJoe) to make B2 and delivering it to his stations. I think this fuel with a 4-5 oz. shot of PS Diesel Kleen per tank, then a 5 oz. dose per tank of PS Clear-Diesel every 6 months is gonna be my new protocol.

Me too, no reason to make this complicated.

I use 8oz Power Service White and these Nalgene bottles have been working fine for the past few months. I keep 3 at a time in a gallon size Ziploc.

Why 8oz double dose? PSW is cheap. And it helps me sleep at night.

I use this product and the bottle supplied works great without spilling a drop or getting anything on your hands.

It fits perfect in that little divided compartment on the RH side just inside the rear lift door.

Whoa, that's some concentrated stuff.

[RNDDUDE]

Yeah, one ounce per thankful! Can someone clarify their statement about it being a "water dispertant"? What are they saying exactly? I prefer an additive to emulsify, not separate trace water as I have a CR motor without any water separator/draining filters. Perhaps this stuff is meant for earlier style systems?

I'm curious on how you determined this. I looked at the bottle PS comes in and it is coded 7 (Other). I also looked at Howe's & Redline's bottles and they are coded as 1 (PETE). Polypropylene containers carry a 5 (PP) code, while high density polyethylene is 2 (PE-HD). Unfortunately, 7(Other) covers plastics like Polycarbonate and ABS, so who knows what is in the bottles. I've sent PS an email asking what plastic is used for their containers.

I just picked up some 8 oz graduated poly bottles at Harbor Freight and they work great. I buy either Stanadyne or Power Service in large containers so I just fill a few of these up in my spare moments and I'm good to go. The only caveat is the tops can leak a bit at the threads. I keep all my 'spillables' in a plastic file box in the trunk and all's well.

What is the code on the bottom?

[FlyTDI Guy]

The code is 2. Unlike other more scientific folks, I just bought 'em and tried 'em. They appear to stand up to the additives just fine (2 yrs and counting).

Here is the response I received from Power Service:

"Thanks for your inquiry and your use of our products.* All of our plastic*containers are manufactured specifically for us and coated with a specail protective barrier to prevent degradation over time.* That said, the ideal container for you to use to transfer material from a larger container to smaller one would be one of our smaller containers like a 16 or 32 ounce bottle.* That would ensure compatibility.* Beyond that, you would probably be safe using an used motor oil bottle that has been cleaned out as long as the material is stored for less than 6 months.* Glass bottles like mason jars for example, would also be a good option.* With mason jars, be aware that the materials may attack the lid components depending on their*composition.* Our products containing Cetane Boost technology i.e. Diesel Fuel Supplement and Diesel Kleen, are going to be the most aggressive.* I'd take great care in labeling whatever container you elect to use to prevent improper use of the products especially if your plan is for anything but immediate use."

That's what I've used for about two years now for my bio. A qt. DFS container.
