1. A bottle for use with a capless diesel fuel system having a self-sealing mechanism triggered by tabs, said bottle including:
A) A neck having a circumference, a substantially smooth surface and an outside diameter between approximately 0.860 inches and approximately 1.004 inches;
B) A lip connected to a distal end of said neck, said lip defining a plurality of threads; and
C) A plurality of thread interruptions defined by said plurality of threads, said plurality of thread interruptions forming two threadless paths spaced between said threads so as to frame an unobstructed longitudinal axis from said lip to said neck, wherein each threadless path extends 45.9°-56.1° around the circumference of the neck, each threadless path is spaced 162°-198° around the neck from another threadless path, and two threadless paths align with the tabs,
and wherein said neck is adapted so when inserting said bottle into said capless fuel system said two threadless paths align with said tabs such that said tabs are depressed along threadless paths and without impeding entry of said neck by said plurality of threads.
