Abstract
A container for dispensing into a fuel receptacle can include a neck through which a product is flowed, and threads which merge with a circumferentially continuous shoulder spaced apart from the neck. The neck disengages a lock which secures a closure of the fuel receptacle, in response to insertion of the container into the fuel receptacle. Another container can include a neck through which a product is flowed, and threads which merge with a circumferentially continuous shoulder spaced apart from the neck, the shoulder having a circumferentially continuous surface that faces an annular recess separating the shoulder from the neck. A method of discharging a fuel additive into a fuel receptacle is also disclosed.
