I don't really think it matters I'm only on my first application of FP60 so I might not be the best person to ask, but I put it in at home after I filled up with gas, I waited about an hour or two to let it settle before I started it up again and I noticed an immediate difference usually it takes 2 or 3 cranks to start ever since I added it, its only taken 1 and also it usally idles fast at like 1700rpm and fluctutes in between 1500rpm and 1300rpm at idle until you drive for awhile, today when I started it up it dropped down to 1500 then 1300 and eventually dropped down to a regular 800 or 900 rpm when it was idiling cold and had only been running for a minute or two. I'm a beliver in this product. If your wondering about what car I used it on it is a 1988 Bronco II with 45k and a 2.9L V6
I add it before so that the gasoline can wash it down the filler tube.
Excuse the newbie question, but is FP to be used with every tank of gasoline. It strikes me that it would be fairly expensive to use it that frequently and I wonder if the cost/benefit justifies the expenditure.
Yes, FP60 is supposed to be used every fillup. The cost is .20 per oz with 1 oz per 5 gallon of fuel. For most folks, that is less than .80 a tank.
Assumption of $26.50 per gallon BITOG previous customer price.
GHG,
It does not matter if you put it in before or after the fillup.

It does not matter whether it is added before or after. FP mixes well with the fuel. This is what I read when I did a search about fuel power.
It is best used with every fill-up, several members have calculated the cost per gallon and it works out to be cheaper than some store bought gas treatment stuff. Encourage you to do a search.
Have been using FP for 6 months in all my cars and mower. Extremely pleased with it.

Addition time dosen't matter.
The secret to a good mix is to drive a 3/4-ton pickup and make sure the bed is empty after filling up and adding the FP. No matter how smooth the road is, it WILL get mixed, I assure you.
Well, I live in British Columbia and have to add about 25% exchange to get to Canadian dollars, plus 7% GST, which goes to the Canadian federal government, then shipping, and I don't know about brokerage. I'm just starting an AutoRX clean cycle, first time user, and am contemplating LC for maintenance and RF for the gas tank. The cash register keeps on going ca-ching, ca-ching! Plus I'm picking up 12 litres of Esso XD-3, 0W30, from a local Esso bulk dealership on Wednesday. I'm suddenly being BITOGed to death, lol!
Why don't you market LC through stores? I suspect you could sell a whack of it through Canadian Tire. Have you ever approached Wal Mart?
I have heard that question on this forum alot lately and I believe its not that easy.
Mainstream STORES such as uncle walleys, AZ and Pep boys aren't looking for products to put on there shelves, quite the contrary they are charging rent for a spot to the highest bidder.
That makes it difficult for a small independent to compete even whith a superior product. Lesson 1- the number one objective of having a large storefront is to make as much money as possible... the quality of the product is not important.
To top it all off, people are suspicious of non-big name products that aren't sold in the big storesnd ask.."if it is so good why aren't the stores selling it? "

I've got to say I've used the FP60 in about one tank so far of diesel, and one thing is for sure it is the best smelling add I've used yet, and get some on your fingers, is about the slickest stuff I've come across. No noticable change in fuel economy over using other products, but so far fuel milage is maintained . Roughly getting over 17 mpg, where in the type of traffic I am in using nothing would probably guarantee around 16mpg, if not less.
Now I still have half a bottle of Howes sitting around and a full large container of PS DK, wonder how the FP60 would mix with those?

I have to disagree on that statement. The first way to cause me to avoid your business is when I see X$ discount for new customers only. Oh you mean that the money I have been giving you for years isn't worth as much as a new customers.
I believe that the good customers who spend lots of money with you should get the best deals.
When I send out direct mail advertising everybody gets the discount not just new customers. Gee I guess that is why my business is in the top 2% of my industry in size nationwide.
I sure as heck don't expect LC to give me the same discounts as a trucking company that buys 50 gallons every six months when I'm buying one gallon every six months. I'm grateful to LC that I'm getting something off the retail price.
I keep the FP60 in the garage and gas wifes new Lex-ota on Tuesday evening and do car and truck on Saturday mornings. A quick glance at the fuel gauge tells me how much FP60 to add. On the Saturday fill I check tires, fluids and other. Both cars get washed on Friday or Saturday.
A regular schedule takes care of it. Wife drives 25-30,000 miles annually so she goes through a lot of fuel. I just fill each vehicle up no matter how low or high the fuel level (avoiding only below 1/4-tank).
This way I do it at my convenience, not that of the car.
When traveling, I keep the FP60 in a plastic trash bag-lined box. Seems to work. I just clean it off if it gets "oily".
As to when to add, Odis sez it doesn't really matter, what does it always thoroughly shaking container up.
