I would follow the directions on the bottle. I seem to remember 1 oz. per gallon, but check the bottle. Your neighbors won't like you if you burn a gallon of gas with 3/4 of a bottle of Seafoam in it.

That's why you do it an night ;) That is the recipe for a decarb to power it all out. The directions on the bottle are for maintainance.

I do an annual decarb on my motors, like an enema ;)

Re: Can I use sea foam In a test tank

Here is something I copied out of this forum years ago. Simplified process......

Take a can of Seafoam put 3/4 of it in the gas tank, with only 1 gallon of premixed gas. put the rest in a spray bottle. start the engine, and let it come up to temperature. then remove plugs, tilt the engine and then do a real good shot of seafoam into the cylinders, replace plugs, let sit 15 minutes. Restart, and spray the rest of the seafoam into the carbs, so the the motor almost stalls, wait and repeat until the seafoam is gone. Then take for a wide open spin.Then put in new plugs, add premixed gas to the tank, and take it for a wide open throttle spin.
