I usually use about 5 ounces per tank which are 19 gallon tanks. It says right on the bottle, just gotta do the figures yourself.

I just fill an empty 20 oz gatorade bottle 3/4 full and dump that in. This amount is close to the reccomended amount to boost cetane 6 numbers.

Half a qt per 29 gallons is what I use. You cannot put to much in, but after the 6 pt cetane level boost is achieved, you will just be adding more lubricity agent to the fuel, which is great for 6.0l injectors.

I keep a small OJ bottle in my tool box that I marked measurements (gallons) on with a permanant marker. I figured up how much was needed by dividing it out per the recommended for 100 gallons as indicated on the bottle, and used a measuring cup in the house and marked the lines. The small kids size OJ bottle (approx. 6 oz.) is perfect because it will fit in the filler hole just right with no spillage. I think I can put approx. 20 gallons in per bottle full. (Depends on what size bottle you use)
