Patent-pending EZ Nozzle Spout works with all vehicle fuel tanks.

Rislone won an Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) Packaging Award in the Innovation Category for its new fuel treatment dual cavity bottle with attached EZ Nozzle Spout. The bottle is used for new Rislone Gasoline Fuel Treatment and Rislone Diesel Fuel Treatment. The patent-pending EZ Nozzle Spout on the Gasoline Fuel Treatment package enables customers to easily dispense the product into any gasoline-powered vehicle, including the some 15 million in North America with capless or obstructed fuel tanks. The EZ Nozzle Spout on the Diesel Fuel Treatment bottle is designed to work only with diesel fuel systems, preventing mis-fueling.

AAPEX organizers presented the award on Oct. 29 in Las Vegas, the day before the products debuted at AAPEX 2012. Ben Miyares, president of the Packaging Management Institute, judged this year's entries.

"A lot of effort went into creating this package and delivery system, and it's gratifying to see it honored by AAPEX as one of the most innovative in the industry," said Clay Parks, vice president of development for Rislone. "We received a lot of positive feedback at the show, and we are looking forward to getting these new products into stores across North America early next year."

An EZ Nozzle Spout is included with every dual-cavity bottle. The vehicle owner only needs to tear the spout off of the perforated tab and screw it into the top of the bottle for quick and easy installation. After installation, the whole package may be thrown away or recycled to eliminate any mess in the vehicle or garage.

Each dual-cavity bottle includes six different additives and treatments that are recommended for use every 5,000 miles to clean and lubricate complete fuel systems. Drivers should notice increased vehicle power, performance and mileage after installation.
