Just south of Dallas, at Tractor Supply, the grey jug is about$13.??, the white jug is about $12.??, Wally World is at least 2 dollars more.
I am thinking of getting a Lucas bottle use it, and keep it for measuring the DK

I been using PSDK for quite awhile now,the usual mix is about .5 ounce to a gallon of pump diesel then add 25% of Lucas on top of that to chill the injectors.
yamaguy,the Lucas is more of a lubricity additive than anything imo but definitely works.
I've used Stanadyne in the past and is definitely good stuff to use in the PowerStrokes just wish it was more readily available in my area.

Don't use Lexan water bottles for DK...
I bought some Lexan bottles a while back so that I can have a couple of pre-measured doses handy at all times without having to carry around and work with the large 96 ounce jug. The bottles work great, BUT the lexan apparently is not compeltely suitable for DK. I just noticed some small "checking and tiny cracks" developing around the neck where the lid screws on.
I even checked on multiple web sites for lexan's compatability with chemicals, and although it seems to be good for diesel fuel itself, it aparently is not quite as compatable with one or more components in Diesel Kleen.
My bottles will last long enough for me to get some aluminum camping fuel bottles as a replacement, but I don't think I have much more than a month to get them at the rate I see the cracking taking place. Ny the way, I've used these same brand of bottles for years as water bottles while camping, andhave never had them show any signs of this type of cracking, so I know it's not an "over-tightening" issue, either.

i believe that a double dose (which is what the guy at Dk recomended) is equal to .65OZ per gal. i usually pull out the cell phone and do .60 -to be on the lean side- times how ever many gallons i want to put in!

The aluminum fuel bottles are vailable easily on-line. Campmor.com is probably the best source. The only problem (potentially) is that they are all in metric, and there is not a 16 ounce equivalent sized bottle, which is why I went with the Lexan to begin with. The only real down side to the metric fuel bottles is that it will be a little more tedious to get precise dosing, if that's a concern for you. I'm going to try to see how much more time I can get out of the Lexan bottles, because I really like the fact that I can see the level and it has the ounce markings along the side for better dosing precision.
