Pics would be nice too. This stuff is volatile at 160F, so I guess that is high enough not to worry. MMO is also greasy! No matter what, your measuring cup will be coated after you pour it in. But it is still a volatile liquid that should be safeguarded.
You would think manufacturers would have some suggestions about handling, containers, and measuring procedures.
Those one oz dispensing containers seem like a lot of pouring in the gas tank, and maybe coating my truck after a few attempts!

use a long skinny funnel,,like a tranny funnel,,wally world has them
My car has a 12 gallon tank so I carry a 16 ounce bottle in the car that I pre-fill with 4 ounces from my gallon jugs. When I get down to about 1/8th of a tank I dump the 4 ounces in and then fill up. The long spout of the 16 ounce bottle works fine without needing a funnel. Wipe the spout with a paper towel and throw the bottle back in the trunk to refill when you get home.

That sounds pretty slick! I have a 22gal, but I only put 10 in at a time for fuel economy (weight) and mainly to measure how my gas mileage is, especially with different cocktail mixtures of MMO and gas treatment. Its plastic, so it can’t rust. I have one more tank of fuel injector cleaner and MMO to go before I start. At first, I’ll go a treatment alone to gage the best oz per 10 gals. Then MMO for the same reason. Then the interaction of the two to find the best blend.
So I will be putting 2 in a beaker, since I do not want to mix them before diluted in gas. It might not be good for handling purposes. I’ve got an ammo can I’m going to bolt behind my rear wheelwell near my gas cap side. The main handling difference between these two and acetone is acetone is a cleaning solvent and evaporated instantly: no cleaning mess.
The new see through bottles will let you pour directly into the gas tank a lot more easy. The side of the bottle will have the ounce markings. Marvel used to have a 6-ounce size bottle sold in a 4 pack, but unfortunately, it did not see well. It is possible that just not enough people know about this most convenient size.
I used to have to carry a funnel with me, the Marvel bottle does not reach into my fuel filler very far. I had to carry a pint bottle of MMO with 6 ounces of MMO in it and a long neck funnel in a heavy plastic bag with a zipper, to keep from getting MMO on my upholstery. That was a pain. Then I found an empty Gumout 2X concentrated fuel injector cleaner bottle in a trash can at the parts store. It is the new straight style bottle. I measured out 6 ounces of MMO into it and made a mark on it at the 6 ounce level with a Sharpie marker. It is a lot easier to add MMO to my tank with it and the bottle fits nicely in the map pocket on my door. I always fill up when I get down to 1/4 tank, and it always takes right at 15 gallons of gas to fill up. And 15 gallons of gas gets 6 ounces of MMO, which is exactly 4 ounces to each 10 gallons of gas.
Every time I fill up, soon as I get home I refill my Gumout bottle and put it back in my truck. This way I know I always have MMO with me when I fill up. I had to buy gas the other day and did not have my MMO with me, so I went over to Walmart and bought a quart of MMO and I used a long screwdriver to hold the flap on my fuel fill neck open and poured out small amounts of MMO at a time till I had added my 6 ounces. That was when I decided to always keep my MMO in my truck all the time.
MMO is a great product and I always add it every time I fill up. I use it in my oil too, but I just use the regular pint bottle and a funnel to add it to my oil.

I found a 16 0z plastic dog shampo bottle that was clear and had a twist top. I measured out 4oz water..poured into bottle...marked with sharpie pen. Repeated 3 times for 16oz measured in 4 oz increments ( I have 13 gal tank). Then poured MMO into bottle to fill it up. I have a funnel with a long neck as well. Whenever I fill up (almost empty), I take the bottle and funnel in a box with me to gas station. Pour out slowly to the next line down (ie, 4 oz). I don’t like to carry the bottle or funnel in the car..no need to. If I ever have to gas up *unplanned*, I just put in enough until I can fill it up and add MMO.
New member here, but LONG - LONG time user of MMO. Been using it almost as long as I have been driving or riding motorcycles, 1979. Some old fella at Lockheed California Company told me all about it, I tried it and have never looked back.
I use it at a ratio of one ounce per gallon, some might say this is a lot, but I have seen no detrimental affects from this amount at all. I usually just fill whichever vehicle it may be at the station, then come home and do the addition. I use an old kitchen 32 ounce measuring cup and a trannsmission funnel for my trucks, or just pour it right in the tank for my three bikes. Lately, since my two trucks have bed covers, I keep a one gallon bottle in the back of each along with a cup and funnel. I keep stuff in some old milk crates I happen to have.
Lately I keep two five gallon containers of gas in the back oF the Lightning, locked of course, and 93 octane Sinclair. When the gas “can” is empty, I put 5 ounces of MMO in that. Thus when I fill it, it is ready mixed. Then I use it in my bikes or truck as needed. My bikes never sit in the garage with partially empty tanks, prevents rust accumulaion.
My vehicles that I use it in.
2004 Ford Lightning
1998 Ford Ranger
2006 Suzuki M109R
2006 Suzuki M50
2001 Kawasaki ZX1200R
I use one of those “squeeze-up” measuring containers that contained a fuel stabilizer, and it works well with my Odyssey and RX330. Takes a couple of times of squeezing and tipping, but not bad. I tend to lose count of the number of ounces (heh, heh) but you can measure pretty much exactly the amount of MMO you want to use. I keep a calculator in the cars for fuel mileage, and it works well for the MMO calculation @ 0.4 oz/gal.
MMO could probably make available some well-thought-out dispensing container. Buy four quarts and get a coupon, etc.

Thanks for the feedback!
I hope you replace the fuel filter regularly. It’s poor practice to run with a tank so long for so long.

That does not make any sense at all.
Whoops! I meant, it’s poor practice to run with a low tank for so long. I think you could have figured that out.

On a plastic tank, what is the difference? It has less weight, performs less work, and is real time system performance feedback by mileage to the tenth of a mi/gal measured inherently w/o even figuring in your head w/ double knots. You never run out of gas w/ 4 gal reserve. A pretty good mechanic told me the same thing, except he made a lot of mistakes from being juiced up on some health steroid seeing how fast he could turn wrenches.
You may be right, but without verification of ideas, it is hard to trust. Everything has a range of truth in either circumstances or in one’s head. Web forums allow us to decipher the details without blindly believing or disqualifying all the ‘old wives tales’.
For example, you may be assuming someone runs out of gas all the time. Its never happened to me once. That is not a consideration. Or you may think keeping all trash in bottom of the tank forever is beneficial. If you do, you have a reserve tank of 12 gallons, and yes, when you run low, you will definitely have problems, in addition to an extra 100 to 200 lbs swishing around your chassis.
