Oops, I forgot that the Techron displaces some of the space that would have been taken up by the gas, so the gas capacity is now less than 19.1 gallons. Awe, what the heck, I'll go with the full 20 gallon size bottle of Techron. I hope that won't ruin my engine.

If you put the additive in with more than 1/2 a tank of gas, does all the additive stay in the left tank?
How much you put in may be less important than how much gas is in the tanks when you add it.

It's amazing how we can go from a simple task, like pouring an additive into a gas tank, to having to use quantum physics to get it right.
I'd be willing to bet some of you guys actually weigh the water and coffee grinds that go into making your morning coffee.
