I'll try if a few drops show any effect.
Worth a shot. Although my inclination is "it can't be that easy!" I did make one of these auto-dosers today though! Cool! I don't have it calibrated exactly, I ran out of patience to see how much liquid the little 606 pump would move in two minutes (I'm using a 1 gallon joint compound bucket temporarily for the reservoir.) I think a taller, narrower container would be a bit better. It'll do for the time-being. This "ain't rocket science!"

Hubby's out adjusting his valves on his motorcycle . I had to have *some*thing to do today !
