How do you mix (and store) your fuel additivies?

Ok, so I bite and I think the mix of MMO and Power Service is doing something good for my truck . I have yet to see about millage, power sure hasn't decrease, if anything, things are a little quiter even.

I looked at the 1 gallon (or so) bottles of MMO and PowerService. Followed their recomendations for per 30 gallons or so, did some math and came up with 16oz of MMO and 11oz of PowerService. I think this is a bit more then some of you folks run. I typicaly fill up 32-33 gallons at a time, even from the same pump for the last 10 or so fill ups.

Then I look at this huge jugs and desided it would NOT be wise to use carry them around and try to measure on the spot every time. Since 11 + 16 = 27 is < 32. a 1 quart bottle is perfect for one tank full of fuel. Got my self a little funnel and setup a little lab in my garage for mixing my additive!

I used a clean Amsoil bottle with a nice easy to read oz markings on the side. I'm looking to get 4 quart bottles on my next oil change to have a total of 5 of these things and pre-mix 5 at a time to advoid getting all messy before or after each fillup and make a small batch to last a while.

Anyone else do this or have a much cleaner, easier way of dealing with this?

My goal is to get some truck boxes that fix flush with the wheel wells and store these in the truck boxes. So I would need something very durable. something that will live with tow straps, some tools, and things boucing on them.
