Millers Diesel Additive

Zandoni

I have using millers Diesel additive for a little while, I've decanted it into little 50ml plastic bottles in an attempt to avoid the smell on my hands. I do this in the garage when I buy the fuel, how do other users do it?

I bought 5 litres (cheaper) decant about half a litre a time into a dispenser bottle where you squeeze up the required amount into the top part before you put in the tank.

I do, or rather did when i ran Diesels, exactly the same.

I find those dosing bottles tend have a few dribbles run down the side which gets a bit on the smelly side if kept in the car.

I dont the keep the bottle in my car. I store it at home then add it when I've filled the car.

The stuff stinks so badly that i rarely use it, I wont keep it in the car as even
a tiny drop on the side of the bottle lingers for ages.

Someone needs to design a single use dispenser that wont cost the earth, or more than the prodict costs anyway.

I have put them into sandwich bags and seal them up, but you need a new bag each time usually.

With reference to the 5 litre bottles, I was informed the shelf life of the product was 12 months, did you have your 5 litres for longer than 12 months and if so did you notice any degradation?

Had it a couple of years now, direct from Millers. Haven't noticed any deterioration. I had no idea it has a shelf life till 2 mins ago.

I saw them on Ebay and thought they were a good MSE way of using this stuff and negating some of the cost.

Rang Millers tech team who advised it would start to degrade after being opened for 12 months, which if I end up throwing it away is a waste of money.
