"One point treats 8-25 gal. Of all types of gas or diesel fuels (use 1 oz. per gal.)"
Much appreciated, Mel. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Risk of overheating and damaging the fuel pump.
It is cooled by the fuel, no fuel = no coolant
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
