not sure that it really matters but i think most the directions for fuel system cleaners say to do it after you fill up.

No, you do it before so that the filling of the tank allows the fuel system cleaner to be mixed thoroughly with the gasoline.

i thought that most fuel system cleaners are heavier than gas and sink down to dilute anyways, hence the mention of it not mattering.

so if you pour the clenaer at the end of the fill up it would just stay on top?
