GFO from twopartsolutions

Never used this kind before. How many grams per gallon should I use? I've only run phosar before but tossed it a week ago--should I start light with the new stuff?

two reasons why i wouldn't do it. first, and as mentioned, what are you going to do if it breaks; and second, the pressure from the water will increase your chance of breaking it.
