Username Protected wrote: If you refuel at cheap county airports in the middle of the country with self serve Jet A, you may need to add it yourself. Self-serve pumps often have just Jet A instead of Jet A+. The Prist you use for this comes in a can with a small plastic tube and metal tab. You slip the tab onto the spout of the nozzle. As you squeeze the handle to dispense fuel through the nozzle you also squeeze the handle on the can of Prist so it flows at the same time to mix as you fuel. Not rocket science but takes a bit of organization to setup and operate. I buy them by the case from Aero Performance, the wholesale division of Aircraft Spruce.

Not rocket science but ... in that case, you need someone with a stop-watch, or somehow, to time it carefully to reach the exact ratio! https://supliaereos.com/prist.htm

And I suppose you could find yourself somewhere like that by accident or necessity but I’d never voluntarily opt for it. There are plenty of relatively low priced options without doing it on purpose.
