Apparently some one has come up with another use for sea foam besides cleaning their carburetors. Cashier said it was the same for certain types of antifreeze now. Too bad these same creative geniuses can't come up with a idea that actually helps people. [Reply]   [No Email]

I think it get's stickey from the old oil vaper that cummes up from the motor. [Reply]  [No Email]

Had to go the hospital a while back, they asked if I used "recreational drugs." I did not even know what they were talking about, told the nurse I was not coming back for such a foolish question, she said they have to ask. [Reply]  [No Email]

I put a full can of seafoam in the gas (much more than the label calls for). I puttered around with it for a week or two and put around 15 hours on it, then it came to life. I have been adding about a 1/4 can of seafoam every time I fill it up. I just poured a can in the fuel on a 66 F600 I just bought that idles great but takes some coxing to get up to speed...we shall see. [Reply]  [No Email]

The carbs are just so much smaller that they gum up easier. Then when they are gummed up, its hard to get the treated fuel to flow to the needed spots to clean them up. With additives like Seafoam, you either like it or hate it. I like it and use it because it simply works. I do cheat though and mix my own, tons cheaper that way. Just google for the ingredients.

I have had excellent results with it over the years. Four Oz. to twenty gallons of fuel, leave out one quart of oil and add one quart of MMO on oil changes. [Reply]  [No Email]

By the end of the tank (2004 5.3l, GMC 1/2 ton pickup) she runs a little smoother, feels a little faster on acceleration. With the gas available these days, I really think I'm doing the right thing. Time will tell. I'm up to 149,000ish now. Dave [Reply]  [No Email]

It didn't do anything back then I wonder if it will do anything now??? the only additives I have ever used that have done any good at all are JB products. [Reply]  [No Email]

For alcohol I use the 91% stuff sold in drug stores. By weight 40-60% pale oil (automatic transmission oil/ATF) 25-35% naphtha (Coleman camp fuel) 10-20% Isopropyl Alcohol. [Reply]  [No Email]

(If anyone really could stomach that mix.) As far as using it for other chemistry, seems to me they could get the prime ingredients easier in their own containers from the appropriate retailers.

I tried Sea Foam for hesitation, it didn't make any difference. [Reply]  [No Email]
