should have gotten the 20oz ones
if you have 12s typically you add a full bottle at 1/4 tank, drive 40 miles or so, fill up and dump in the other 12
the left sensor seems to be the one that gets weird the easiest so the idea is to make sure a heavy batch of solvent is in the tank for a few miles

On a side note, if you've never had a fuel gauge problem should you leave well enough alone?

I always get the 20 oz and pour the whole thing in a full tank when I fill up.

I do 20oz or 2 x 12's.
The extra 4 oz hasn't hurt anything or messed anything up!
I usually do it twice a year as my "queen" sit for long periods.

Whenever they run the 2 for 1 sale, I get 6 12 oz bottles and use 1 1/2 (18ozs) at a time. Lasts me all year.

Exactly what I do. Works well and I've not had any problems with the fuel gauge.
