A fuel additive bottle has a neck and thread pattern that allows insertion into a capless diesel fuel system so the bottle's contents can be poured by gravity into a fuel tank. The neck of the bottle is elongated and has a diameter of approximately 0.932 inches, and the novel thread pattern includes thread interruptions that form two or four threadless paths. In use, the spring loaded tabs of a capless fuel system are depressed by the threadless path portion of bottle, thereby triggering the self-sealing mechanism to open, so the fluid receiving aperture is exposed. The use of the threadless paths facilitates the safe and easy entry and removal of the bottle from the capless fuel system.
1) A bottle for use with a capless diesel fuel system having a self-sealing mechanism triggered by tabs, said bottle including:
7) A system for transporting and storing, and for pouring fuel additives into a capless diesel fuel system having a self-sealing mechanism triggered by tabs, said system including:
11) A method of introducing a fluid into a capless diesel fuel system having a self-sealing mechanism triggered by tabs, said method including the steps of:
12) The method of claim 15 further including the initial step of removing a cap from said lip.
