SeaFoam

czm400r · 09-06-2005, 07:40 AM

I have used SeaFoam fuel as a system cleaner as long as I can remember, Why I don't know but I run a can thru the tank every 20-25k miles and have had no fuel related problems. The can does say that it can be used in the crankcase oil as a cleanup. Anyone use this in the engine before?

Seafoam is supposed to be some good stuff, I've never used it though, Do a SEARCH on seafoam, all of your questions should be answered then.

Heard of lots of people using it in their oil system as a slow flush.

1/2 a can in the gas tank, rest of the can in the crankcase, drive 500 miles and dump the oil and do an oil change.

I have yet to use seafoam, I think I heard it fouls plugs easily but I could be wrong. I really like Marvel Mystery oil in the gas tank and the price is unbeatable! Autozone $2.99 for a 32 ounce bottle and per 10 gallons of gas you use 4 ounces of Marvel Mystery oil. Basically get 4 treatments out of it. I like it.

Seafoam will foam the plugs when you suck it through the PCV line for combustion chamber cleaning.

I can't say I've ever heard of something "foaming" the plugs before...

It doesn't foam, it fogs the cylinders and removes excess carbon.

This can also be done with water which is what I use seing there is no residue.

Yea didn't you get your engine steam cleaned or something? Is that same day service you can pick up, or do they drop if off in a box pressed and folded??? hahaha I am cracking up!

sea foam, your using it to often, but you are useing a great product... every few oil changes/ transmission services, 500 miles prior, put half a can into the fluid, and it helps thin it out and degrease the internals

It worked perfectly and didn't foul my plugs. Really happy about it.

How do they do it and what does something like that cost?

do a search for water cylinder decarbonization
