Hello,
I recently purchased Opti-lube summer blend from Opti-lube. I read that it is one of the best diesel additives for increasing lubricity.
The container arrived via ups stinking like solvent similar to other diesel fuel additive. The bottle leaks and the chemical seems to permeate the plastic material. My Diesel Kleene silver only smells when my nose is almost right on it, probably just the last threads.
My entire home garage wreaks from the opti-lube. Because of the odd size, it won't fit in a paint can, so I will have to put the whole bottle in a plastic three gallon bucket, after I buy one.
The Opti-lube container has two spouts, one is a pre-measure.
The spouts drip back on the outside.
I wish to measure out small one shots for my tanks to keep in the vehicle on long trips.
Three questions are:
What type of plastic can contain the additive safely?
What are the chemicals in the additive?
How can the additive be cleaned up after dripping or spilling?

p.s. The cost per tank on the analysis for the opti-lube products is off by almost a half. This is because they charge over $9 for shipping on a $20 dollar bottle. But when you need it, you need it.
I will contact Opti-lube and see what they say about the container this Monday.
