Thanks for the tip Michael.

My Silverhook has just arrived so I will be using it in the GPZ. :D

Experience is something I only ever get a second after I really need it!

Used the Silverhook on a tankful, as I only read the instructions when it goes wrong I overdosed it a bit but no problem and I'm sure it already runs better, the brisk plug is on its way and I'm collecting the filter on Saturday morning as I'm in Hereford so will have it all changed by Monday a.m. :)

Cheers BB

4ml to every 5 litres! But it says on the bottle it doesn't matter if you over dose.

Not all of it, about 50ml I think. Didn't measure it just took the level to the bottom of the neck... It was only when I saw Funky's post about measuring if out that I found a magnifying glass and read the instructions on the back of the bottle. :)

Great minds think alike!

That's exactly what I did on the basis that the first tank needs to be more than a maintenance dose and the bottom of the neck is a good measure! 8-)

Will be more scientific in the future.

It does say you can for the first one... and to do it monthly... I thought 'Bugger that!' and went with 12ml on my first and as I generally fill up about 10 liters I was going to do 8ml after that.
