First time you are treating the complete tank, after that just what you add when you fill up.
Call it 1.7oz for the first time. Still 0.13oz per gallon after that.

That's a lot less than the 4oz of Lucas oil that NICOLA is adding every fill up. Even double that to 1:500 is only 2.6oz for a 10gal fill up but best to use the minimum needed to hopefully shut it up.
Just to add; Lucas Oil says to use 3 oz. for every 10 gallons. I use 4 oz. because we have slightly over a 13 gallon tank. Basically, 1 oz. for every 3.33 gallons of gas. Also, Lucas claims that over treatment (adding more then recommended) will not hurt the engine or other parts in any way. I try to keep it at 3 to 4.

It has been helping I think. However, last week when I filled up with Mobile gas things started up again. The chirp is dying down to near non-existence, but it shows up now and again since that day. I think I need to really purge my fuel tank to very low levels to get rid of that Mobile gas. Who can say? I just know that I had no issues after getting the new pump and using BP gas exclusively with Lucas Oil. The moment I used Mobile.....Bang!!! Crickets came back. Go figure!?
