Anyone use Seafoam in their fuel or crankcase?

Small engine repair shop I use turned me on to Seafoam. They love it. I have my snow thrower with new oil and the prescribed amount of this stuff along with fresh gas also treated.

I mix it 50/50 with B12 Chemtool to flush injectors...

Works great for that. Probably not a bad additive for the fuel tank. The Seafoam throttle body cleaner is worthless.
I just use the Chemtool with every oil change
So far, I've never had an injector issue. Now that we're mandated to use 10% ethanol in everything, all bets are off. No straight gas anymore...
Actually, the ethanol burns cleaner....

than non-ethanol. At first I was doing a ton of injector flushes and replacing stopped up fuel filters because it was flushing all the crap out of the tank and lines. After a while it settled down and I've seen a large drop in the number of injector cleanings to solve problems now compared to the pre ethanol days. I don't mind the 10% but the E85 stinks unless you're running a race car tuned for alcohol. My issue with the 10% stuff is it needs a good octane booster in a lot of engines. My Wrangler clatters bad with regular and sometimes even with mid grade in the hot summer months here in Texas. A 1/4 can of B12 helps as much as anything.
Been my "secret weapon" for years.

Used in crankcase for sticky lifter type noises--not really 'fixed' but bought time. In the fuel tank as described above.
Good stuff.
Also used their TransTune on one occasion that cured a balky shifting Suburban.
