Either was sold in a small capsule like a pill but larger , this was dropped into the holder and then when top was screwed down the capsule was punctured.

It has been replaced with the spray can for manual application or like on my FD5 a electric solenoid and a bottle like a propane torch bottle with either that is dispensed .
