No disrespect taken. Simply showing what one of the OTR publications put out.
I use Opti-Lube centane booster and a lubricity adder.
I have issues with a pump that can allow particulate matter to reach the injectors, so I make more expensive diesel fuel with hope I never find an issue. Now days I can skip a cup of coffee when I fuel up.

No not at all, these are wide mouth bottles so the opening is about 2 inches across which is large enough that you can just dump the bottle in one motion and it just pours it all out in one with no air gulping or anything. The wide mouth also makes them very easy to refill without a funnel .The mouth of the bottle is small enough to fit in the fill neck so there is no guess work. I bought the 6 oz bottle because there is enough empty space on the top of the bottle that you can angle the bottle opening and make contact with the fill neck without any additive leaking out then just tilt and dump. These bottles also have a lip around the top called a pour lip that prevents any fluids from leaking down the side if you do want to pore slow buts its not necessary cause you dump it in one motion. They are made for pouring volitle chemicals you would not want to spill. They do come with caps and the caps seal without any paper seals our anything its all just plastic so there no chance of losing a seal into the tank. I have 8k miles on my truck and I have used these bottles for at least 20 fill ups and have yet to spill a drop of additive on me or the truck.

Do you have any problem pouring into the fuel tank opening? Is there a top that you use? I've been using a old Stabil bottle, pouring from a P22 bottle to get the correct measurement, but it can get it messy.

I think we've all bought a tank of fuel that either ran really good, or really bad before, which is exactly my point here, its inconsistent. (Government Run Testing)

I used these and they work very well i keep 6 of them under the back seat in the storage compartment and refill five when I am down to one. I keep them in a 1 gallon ziploc just incase but they have never leaked. I use bottles similar to this in my micobiology lab. They last a long time and never leak. I split 1 20oz bottle of pm22 5 ways for 4oz in each bottle which is good for treating 25gal of fuel. I unfortunatly have a 34 gallon with the inaccurate fuel gauge so as soon as the light comes on with 50 miles to go i fuel up and I am able to get about 26gal in so this works out perfectly. Im not too worried about having the ratio exactly right because Texas diesel usually has pretty high cetane already.

I ordered 5 of the 8 oz bottles. I'll put a litle more than 6 oz in them, which should be easy to pour and treat 40 gallons. I typically fill around that point.

I didn't think about that I usually try to refuel at about 1/2 tank

Thanks 2009kr! I just ordered 6 of the 8 ounce bottles having a dozen 20 ounce bottles of PM22 coming from Amazon at a very reasonable price. I figure equally splitting the 20 ounce bottle into 3 bottles will be perfect since I also fill almost always around 40 gallons.

I just recieved my order of five of the 4 oz. bottles from Amazon. One of them didn't have a cap. I noticed in the reviews that others had the same problem. Amazon is sending another.

I bought five of the 4oz. size bottles (below) from Amazon. One of them didn't have a cap so Amazon replaced the whole bottle with a new one. While filling them from a gallon jug of PM22, I found that an old cap from a 20oz bottle of PM22 fit these bottles perfectly without leaking, so now I have six bottles.
This is good to know if you ever loose a cap.
BTW, these bottles do work well. They don't spill any product outside the filler neck. This was a good tip. Thanks to the OP on this one.

You should have contested that, there’s laws against manufactures denial of repair work for using parts or products in place of there brands,oil,oil filters and the like all are controlled by a uniform standards. Cummins has been developing with Power service for years now and they endorse it.

I’m no attorney, but based upon a prior suit I was involved with, you’re talking about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Basically, if it’s made for a purpose (in this case) Ford provides or endorses, and you install, use or apply it correctly, Ford CANNOT dishonor their warranty.
