Default Made a mess adding fuel injector cleaner

So I just got my truck and whenever I get a new vehicle I like to run some lucas injector cleaner in case the guy before me used cheap gas. Anyways, this F150 is the first vehicle I've owned with this "smart gas" system and the only way I could get the stuff in the tank was to take my finger and push the triggers and honestly it was a disaster. Do you guys have any tips for doing this next time?

Been there done that. Unfortunately I didn't realize what was happening until the entire bottle was poured out on the pavement. Lesson learned.

Ahhhh, so thats what that funnel is for! I just got my truck a month ago and was curious, I figured it was to add oil or other fluids.. Didnt think about the gas!

Cool, thanks guys, I'll go see if the funnel is still there from the previous owner or if I need to buy one.

You can order that funnel for $6 or less from Ford.
