First of all, It's TCW3.

If you are premixing w/o the use of the OMP you should be using 16oz per full tank of gas as been mentioned repeatedly.

In your case, you are running a little rich. You could either just run your gas down completly (so what, your a little on the rich side) or top your fuel at say a little above 3/4 tank.

hmm...

If I were you, I would put the premix in before you fill the tank up. It helps it mix better.

I run 16oz per, runs great.....I don't think running a little too much will kill anything...just lower your octane rating a little bit, possibly get your injectors a little dirty if its a high concentration. I don't think it will hurt it this time though.

While on the subject of filling up, I pour half of the bottle (16oz premeasured) In awhile In the middle of the fill up than after complete fill up I pour rhe rest of It In so It could be "swooshed" around. I doubt this has any adverse or benificial effects. I guess a peace of mind that It Is evenly mixed, If any.

I hate to say it but it is one oz per gallon (if you are not using your OMP) not just 16oz's if you have a series 4 then yeah 16oz's is right, but if you have a series 5 then it's 19oz's. And yeah you are running way to rich no matter what series you have one quart = 32oz's you should be billowing smoke out like a bitch . Just dont do any high rpm loads near a cop hehe. Peace
