One ANswer for BOTH problems:
The concentration ratios are very dilute. 2 to 3 oz per 10 gallons. That is .156% or .234% respectively. I read where you used 16 oz in 12 gallons, Tele! That is much higher than the MPG mixture ratios.
JCP, for your cost concern is not a big deal. You can get at least 42 doses for 10 gallon increments @ the 3 oz strength. Doing the math shows it is cheaper than any bottled additive. 30 gallons at this strength for around a buck!
