I could use some clarification on Total power and 8+cetane mix per gallon. If you mix 8oz of each product together you have 16oz's. How many gallons of fuel will it treat? I have a 30 gallon tank in my 06 LLY 3500 CC. Thanks

Once you mix the 2 its only 3 to 6 ounces per tank of fuel?

There is no real rule to this. I lean towards a heavy dose at 1/4 oz per gallon with the TP. I typically use the 8+ heavier yet for competition fuel.

I haven't dispensed from a bottle in 10 yrs or so now. I put in a 500 gallon tank and buy 50 cetane BP premier 500 gallons at a time. I put 3 full bottles of TP (1.5 strength) in and one bottle of 8+ (1/2 strength) as the fuel is top quality and probably nearly 10 points ahead of average already.

Some people on the page were saying they use a sta-bil bottle to measure and put in during fill up. So I was under the impression that not much TP was used per tank. I'll plan on using 8oz of each per fill up. Thanks John.

I was one of if not the original user of the Stabil bottle many years ago. It's a handy way to dispense with reasonable accuracy and minimal mess and allows you to carry enough for a few fill ups.

I just premixed 8oz of both in a 20oz bottle. I was hoping my mpg would have improved, but it didn't still 10mpg hauling a 4000lb camper. My 02 lb7 did better on mpg. It did have a cold air intake and a 4" exhaust though.
