I thought it was a fluke so I did it a number of times. When I'd get below 1/8 tank of fuel (treated with PS) and pull up to the pump, once I started putting in new fuel and it got to about 1/2 a tank, the idle would go to crap again...like clockwork. Add 10 oz when done...about 3 minutes, back to smooth. I finally put a new IP in the truck...but PS does have a little magic in each bottle.

My one wish is that it had a device on the top to measure and dump a preset amount into the tank. I'm not a fan of trying to dump 6 or 10 oz into the tank and using the little clear sight glass on the bottle. If you use a funnel and throw it in the tool box, it will stink to high heaven. When I had kids on bottles, I kept a pack of those 10 oz baby bottle liners in the truck. I'd just fill one up, dump it in, and trash the liner at the pump. I figured folks at the pump would think it was a condom....but I hoped they did...because they are HUGE!

Self measuring bottle. Pitch that to 'em John.

Just a little update, I have ran about 4 tanks with the DK and average almost 1mpg better than the LE I was running.

My 04 is a lot like yours Dan, but on stock injectors right now. My driving is all in town, I went from about 14.5-15.5 these last few tanks with the DK. I am pretty skeptic on MPG claims, as most things never seem to change it, but this seems to actually be working.

I have been demo-ing RBPs fuel treatment and I hate that self measuring bottle! Id rather have a single bottle that I fill over and over to the correct dosage myself. as long as my foot is not in it I experience exactly what this truck is supposed to get in fuel economy. that 16.9 is my city MPG. my best is well over 23 in highway MPGs. I have yet to see any fuel economy gains from a fuel treatment in my truck. However I do not run my truck without some sort of fuel treatment.

Here is a link to my fuelly account.

I always dump an ounce in each tank on my semi every fillup and it definitely runs smoother than what it used to even with 1.3 million miles on it.

I must be the only one that over treats. I just eye ball it and over treat by a decent amount. I tend to be scared from day to day about mine being a vp and all. (When I drive it)
