Yer not baking a cake.
Toss one and a half oz. in there and go have a beer.

Those stabilizer product manufactures usually want you to mix their product with a small amount of fuel (like a gallon), and shake it up to mix. THEN add the rest of the fuel to your can, or tank. Same as two stoke oil. Don't just pour the product in the full fuel can... won't mix well.

Haha! I can do that!

I have a few five gallon cans. So Ill dump 1.5 oz into an empty on than transfer the fuel, then dump into the tractor.

Thanks again! My wife was saying the same thing! Ha!

Not to be too precise after kidding you about being too precise, BUT, it is suggested to add the gallon (or whatever) of fuel to the empty can, THEN the stabilizer, shake, THEN the rest of the fuel. Probably to get a better mix and keep the product from adhering to the dry can bottom/sides.

Have a good night!
Let it snow let it snow let it snow!

4/13= x/5 ; x = 1.538 ounces of protect ; 1.5 oz. should do it.

I mix it like this :
55 gallon drum 32 ounces.
30 gallon drum 16 ounces.
5 gallon can 3 ounces.

Looks like a winter anti gel addative and wonder juice for injectors.
I have used off road diesel Supreme in my tractors for 20 years with no addatives and no problems.. I asked the delivery truck man a few times over the years if I needed an addative like that. He always says it is a waste of money because they take care of the season blending at the bulk plant. I have had partial tanks that run from cold to hot season and visa-versa with no problems. What they are doing is ok but in my opinion diesel is expensive
enough these days without adding something else to my blue tractors.
