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.

I just use the Chemtool with every oil change (reply)

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...

Been my "secret weapon" for years. (reply)

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.

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

Works great for that. Probably not a bad additive for the fuel tank. The Seafoam throttle body cleaner is worthless.

oh heck yes! (reply)

onliest thing that kept my 13 year old Craftsman mower mowing! Also used it in my chain saw and my truck.

My Fuel Injector repair guy Highly Recommends it.

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.

Anytime I fill a gas can, it gets some sea foam in it. I never drain gastanks on my equipment anymore, and thanks to seafoam it isnt an issue. - JM.

Yes, fine product. (reply)

Fuel treatment mostly, but sometimes use it in the vacuum system to clean an old motor I'm working to fix up. Just a heads up - makes the exhaust look like a mosquito truck fogger for a bit.

As poor as gas is these days, I use this and Stabil regularly. There's something like 20+ gas engines here and at the farm and I never fool with draining the tanks.

Fuel, especially on 2 stroke engines. Great stuff. (reply)

Anyone use Seafoam in their fuel or crankcase?
