You can guesstimate how much fuel you'll be adding based on experience with the car and its gas gauge readings, then premeasure an appropriate amount into a container that you can pour from directly into the tank. Alternately, you can run the tank low enough that you know it will take more than ten gallons and add exactly that to go with the 2.5 ounces.

I'm not sure the container that VP comes in so don't know how easy it is to pour reasonably precise amounts.

EDIT: You could also get a syringe like that used for adding oil to the supercharger and put markings on the side calibrated in gallons of fuel. Fill up, suck the right amount into the syringe, then inject it. That has the disadvantage of adding after filling, so you don't get mixing action from incoming fuel.

The chart here indicates that 2.6 ounces should be right. Up to 32 ounces is possible for highly maintained racing engines.

"Up to 10 gallons" is the key phrase there. Be careful with information you get from youtube. It's a mixed bag. Taking youtube information at face value can lead to many kinds of problems, such as believing in a flat Earth.

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm going with Eratosthenes on this one.
