Deep Creep

[Plainsman]

How long is it safe to leave Deep Creep in the cyliders and carbs? Can I burn it out on muffs? Or do I need to take it to the water and run it?

Re: Deep Creep

you can do it on muffs. there ways a post the other day where someone was contacting seafoam about this question. seafoam is suppose to get back to him, and he was going to post the results.

Re: Deep Creep

Thanks, I just emailed their customer service and will post as well.

Re: Deep Creep

They claim it can be used as a fogging oil, so I would think it could be left in there indefinitely.

It is made of oil, naphtha, and alcohol.
The alcohol and naphtha will mostly evaporate off, leaving the oil.

Re: Deep Creep

You will get the best results if you burn it off under load...

Re: Deep Creep

It will work fine on muffs.

Re: Deep Creep

Well, now I know what's in this mystery juice. The naptha must be the guy that gets the goo out. I guess the alkie is to help the naptha to evaporate and the oil is to keep things from galling.

Didn't know naptha was that good of a solvent even though I've been around it most of my life.

Personally, I think that any time after the engine cools off, it's a waste....Most of those cleaners work well only with a warm/hot motor...

Re: Deep Creep

On my "other" engines I doused them cold. Sprayed in the in and sprayed in the out. Then put some in the fuel. Let them sit half an hour and fired (right) up. Smoked for about a minute and the rest is history.

But surely you would think hot would work better.

Re: Deep Creep

From Seafoam Sales:
Sea Foam "Deep Creep" is Sea Foam, ( a 100% oil blended product) in a spray can.

When using to protect for storage/fog an engine, the product penetrates into ring lands and piston skirts to prevent/clean sticky rings, penetrates past the piston rings to protect your cylinders and penetrates into any carbon build up to allow that carbon to burn away once the engine is re started sometime in the future.

Sea Foam / Deep Creep leaves a thin protectant oil film that will remain until the engine is re started and driven.

once the engine is put back into service, Sea Foam / Deep Creep will leave an oil smoke coming out of the exhaust until all oil residue/carbon dust has been exhausted from all cylinders.

I agree. The main reason deep creep works so well at what it does is that it causes a quick temperature change when sprayed onto hot carbon inside your engine. This quick change is what causes it to flake off, and that doesn't happen in a cold engine. The ingredients are rather irrelivant, almost any liquid will work. Water makes a great engine decarb, though probably a bad idea on a 2 cycle...

Re: Deep Creep

But if the engine is warm/hot, won't that cause it to burn off before it can get to the rings? Just asking.

I just went to www.seafoamsales.com and read up on Sea Foam and the Transmission additive. Interesting reading.

Maybe thats why it didnt do a darn thing for me?

Re: Deep Creep

Ben, I think the reason it did not do anything for you is that you probably used it in a "clean engine.[colour=null][/colour].:/
The first time I used it in my old 200 carbed Merc, it looked like tar running out the exhaust. (I have since started using Penzoil synthetic blend and I don't get that "GOOOOOOO" anymore either.
I had not seen anything like that since I pulled the intakes,etc from a 68 chev w/348 engine that had started knocking real bad.

Yes it was good reading and says to use on a warm engine.

Could be. I have said it before and I will say it again. I have only seen one motor that needed a decarb and it was ran on straight 30w. With modern engines and TCW3 oils decarbs are not needed in my expiereance.

Re: Deep Creep

after decarbing my motor(1982 90 hp evinrude) with deepcreep,i now have an entirely new motor.this stuff made a huge diff for me.starts better ,idles better,and runs awsome! for 5 bucks it was a good investment.

Re: Deep Creep

Sea foam is or can be a miracle juice at times. It has made the world of differance in many motors that we have used it in. From My aircraft to My lawn mowers etc. It can be like a carb job in a can in some cases. Hey it says right on the can money back if you are not happy. You can't beat a deal like that!! I have ran it in motors that would hardly run from dirty carbs to stuck rings and fixed them like new for $3.00. Many Many times. It is Great stuff. Just ask anyone that has used it.

Re: Deep Creep

After all the reading of Sea Foam, I felt guilty of neglect to my 1969 25 hp. Johnson after 37 years of use. So I used it for the first time yesterday.

It didn't do anything to the motor that I could tell, but just a little white smoke that I would notice sometimes. If you look hard in the background on the first picture where I started out to WOT you can see it. I used a lot, 1 can or 16 oz. to 3 gallons of gas and oil mix. All of the next pictures are also each from a stop to WOT, I couldn't see any smoke and at idle there was very little or no smoke. The winds were calm and I ran all 3 gallons through. It was fun fun fun!

I guess this motor was clean.

I will use it on my '91 4 hp. and '04 40 hp. motors on the same boat and give results. The boat is a 207 lb. 14 foot 1968 FD Alumacraft.

I suppose the motors that need the Sea Foam treatment must be the abused ones, by lugging or running slow speed to much.
