I buy it by the gallon container (saves money) and then put it in the pre-measured smaller bottles to use.

 

How are your plastic fuel injector bottles holding up? I bought some STP fuel injector cleaner bottles (black in color) and refilled them with the Ford PMA additive and they worked great. I ran out of PMA and bought some Optilube XPD and after it sat in the plastic STP bottles for a week or so it made the STP bottles feel really soft as if it was eating away at the plastic. I've since switched over to starbucks 9.5 oz glass frappuccino bottles.

For the poster who mentioned that it was difficult pouring from the gallon sized PMA can I transferred the contents into an alternate container (see pic below) to make pouring easier.

 

I just ordered 12 bottles with caps from here..
I get the size I want and they store my fluid without melting the bottle (the diluted plastic becomes part of the fluid in the bottle so I wouldn't play around with that)

I bought (6) 6oz bottles of a cheap hot sauce (.62 ea) in glass bottles, and use those. I had to get a very small funnel to fill them. It takes about 20 seconds for them to empty into the tank. I built a padded box (plastic) and keep them in the center console. The only drawback so far is my knee hits the seat controls when I reach in to get/replace the bottle. Never know where the seat will be when I get back in.
Side note: When should be switch from additive to winter additive?

 

Years ago with the 04 F250 I started using two empty glass tea bottles with metal screw on caps left over from a stop at quick trip. Eight years later I still have the same two bottles. I wrapped masking tape around them to indicate amount of additive for 20, 40 and 60 gallons of diesel. My truck holds 100 gallons. I figured I'd break them long ago, but alas I still have the same two. Power service for me, all eight years.

Rob, The refineries switch their blend when temps start to drop below 32°. So you are more than likely already driving on winter fuel. So much of the fuel today is a commodity and treated as such. It is trucked or pipelined away from the refineries. A friend who works at Chevron pipeline, told me that 70% of what is refined at the Utah refineries is shipped out of state.

Since so many drivers today, May fill their tank in Phoenix and not have to refill until they reach Salt Lake, Fuel has to be mixed to fit a wide variety of tempeture extremes. Big rigs who fill 250 gallon tanks can easily cover 1500 miles between fills ups. So chances are unless you are in the extreme south, you are running a winterized diesel.

The farther north you go, the more choices you get in the fuel you can purchase. Here in Salt Lake area we have a diesel pump that dispenses what ever the refineries are producing for this time of year. But in North Dakota and other colder areas, you will multiple pumps that are dispensing #1 , #2 and often various blends ( 50/50, 75/25) offered at multiple pumps.

Personally, Just running the winter blends that the refineries sell, I've not had any problems above 10°. I start making sure I have added anti-gel additives when the temps are forecast to drop to or below that range. Anything above that temp, and my additives are more focused on Cetane boost and lubrication. Of course once the temps start to drop, I'm going to start carrying the anti gel additives behind the seat and not worry switching additives until spring.

As far as bottles. I bought several bottles of fuel injector cleaner for my wife and daughters gas cars. Aftern emptying those bottles, I just saved them and refill them with my additive. They previously held some sort of petroleum additive, So I assume they area safe to hold a diesel additive and they have long necks that make it easy to fit into the fill tube. Most are around 6oz, Which about what I need for stardard fill up.

 

I purchased several of the small bottles and plan to re-fill or just buy more once I run out. This bottle treats 35 gallons. I add half a bottle at each fill.

 

i use a glass tabasco bottle for my powerservice, i always got a empty one of them around here.
