I was told a cap full for each 1/2 gallon of Meth/Alcohol. A bottle goes along way!

Fine!!! don't listen the the "truck" guy. lol, j/k. My SMC methanol kit came with instructions to use 1 capful of Uplon per 1/2gallon of methanol. Granted, that was a different pump than I'm using now which doesn't require lube according to SMC
