Foung the recipe on this site somehow. coleman fuel, alcohol, 2 stroke oil. Just wondering if any had done it beside the fella that posted it.

I know that the three ingredients in Seafoam are Naptha (varnish disolver/decarbonizer), Isopropynol (drying agent), pale oil 20/20 (lubricant), and nothing else. I cant imagine the three things you listed are specifically those ingredients.

I have been using seafoam for many years and regardless of whatever negatives are posted about the stuff, it has never failed to do what it is intended to do for myself. I would much rather use the sure thing that has my confidence in working rather than try to mix up something that has no track record and hope nothing goes wrong!

Why would you even consider such a thing to save $10 or less that goes in a car that (presumably) cost you thousands of dollars?

Naptha(white gas)as I understand it. Isoproynol (alcohol 91%) Pale Oil, Lubricant(2 stoke)

Heck I don't know but it sounds kinda simular to me. Just wondering if any one else has done it. As for the other question. Why would I do this, well If i could make a gallon and a half for the cost of a pint and a half why not.

Like for hunting I can make a gallon of scent killer for the price of a pint that does the same thing.
