Yeah only pouring 150-200ml it takes about 5-7 seconds. No spills. Not to mention no stinky funnel in your jeep.
What additive are you using that requires 5-7oz per tank? EDT is only 1-2oz per 25 gallons.

It was Power Service. I know EDT is far more concentrated. Didnt own the truck long but I was going to switch to EDT because of that.

I'm picking my JTRD up from Kent in Boise in 2 weeks. I use the EDT in my wife's JL but since we are flying up I can't take any with me. Who (AutoZone, advance, etc) carries a comparable product on the shelf that I can pick up when we get there?

All the usual O'Reilly, Autozone etc stores in Boise have EDT on the shelf. I actually bought some in Boise when I picked up my JT from Kent :)

This thread brings up a related point - I have a ton of jerry cans (Sceptre MFCs) that I've used for gas trucks in the past, going to use them with diesel now, but goddamn it the rubber fill tube won't trigger the flap. Need to decide whether to mod and remove, or just rig up a metal sleeve the right diameter

Squeeze the bottle of Hot Shots Secret EDT till the little cup on top is full. Pour it right in. No funnel necessary.

Remove the flap. Follow others instructions on removing the whole filler placing it in a vice and gently removing the top.

I tried to do it on the truck and broke the top piece ordered a new filler neck and swapped it out. $160 mistake.
