I use it when it drops below 0, when it drops below -40 I normally double dose it. In the summer I will use their silver and or Lucas conditioner..

How often (every fill?) and what did you use to measure it out to add to your tank? How much exactly are you using? Take me through the process please.

If using for anti-gel then you will need it in every fill up. They do have the instructions for how much on the back of the bottle. I use the silver bottle in the summer and have a clear plastic container with ounce markings on the side to measure mine.

Every time you put fuel in the tank you add the appropriate amount of your chosen conditioner (like posted above the instructions are on the label)

That often eh? Thanks, gentlemen. I know a lot of people not using anything at all... for 100,000km or more.

I use the gray bottle most all year unless it gets really cold then switch to white bottle. I use half oz power service and half oz 2 stroke per gallon fuel,
I use an empty mystery oil bottle to measure amounts. Been using it in both my trucks every fill-up since new.

I use the gray bottle from about mid-april to early-oct, and then run the white bottle from mid-oct to mid-april. 16 oz. every tank.

I use some Cat conditioner every great once awhile.. Maybe once every 10-15 tanks.. If that, plus good maintenance and being cautious about where I buy fuel won't keep it alive.. then it can just die!!!..

FPPF and Power Service every three tanks in fair weather, and then every tank in poor weather. If it gets really cold then I double up (2 quarts every tanks).
