Hey no worries, just sharing info and opinions on what I'm doing on my truck. I am on several Cummins specific forums where I've picked up a lot of info (I'm a gear head in general). The biggest resources I've run across are the PM item comparison threads. From there just formed my ritual based on my comfort level and cost. Know what works for you and why and go with it.

Lol you could be like the guy my buddy just called me about pump gas in his freight liner Coronado class. He said he drained 200 gallons out.

Look what I did this afternoon:

---

So, I was just filling up the truck. I fill until I see the fuel just below the drain/vent hole level in the neck. I pull out the bottle of Lucas additive, remove the little blue cap and set it on top of the tool box while I pour in the amount. Finish pouring and am looking at the bottle to see that I got the level correct. A huge gust of wind blows the blue cap off the toolbox. It bounces off the bottle I am holding in my hand and into the tank.

You have got to be kidding me?!?!!! I watched the little cap sink into oblivion and I'm pretty certain I heard God laugh. I laughed too, at the hugely improbable chance that something like that could happen. I should go buy a lottery ticket today too. Anyway, hop in the truck and drive it the mile or so home.

At least you know where the cap is...

Positive upside
