Default Seafoam?

I am just wondering if anyone has used Seafoam in their trucks, outboards, lawmowers, chainsaws etc...

Is it a good product? What do you think about it?

I used it before ethenol fuel came on the market. It worked to clear up a rough running carberators in both cars and boats. Now I use Marine Stabil to treat my tanks.

I use it, it works great. It will clean out a carb, clean out carbon and about anything else.

Outstanding product!
I use it whenever I buy a used car with a lot of miles.
Works great to free up chattery lifters, clears up Idle Air Control valves, cleans carbs, combustion chambers and intake valves- the list goes on.

I do it right before I swap spark plugs every 30K on my Tacoma. I run ~1/2 of the bottle thru a vacuum line into the engine. It smokes like crazy, but within a few miles it's running smoother than before.

It's the only fuel additive I've used that made a noticeable improvement. One vehicle was an '89 Ford fuel injected 460. The other was in a friend's carbureted Nissan Sentra. Both had minor drive-ability issues that were corrected by Seafoam in the fuel.

I''ve been running it in my outboard tanks and lawn mowers the past couple of years. Zero carb or starting issues. It is a gas stabilizer and keeps the carb from getting gummy.
