On my 55 rude 7.5...

I've read the post regarding mixing seafoam and 3/4 of a gallon of gas and running 15 minute cycles... I have a 6 gallon and a smaller 4 gallon spare tank.. Can I run this "blend" through the pressure tank? And I assume I first make the 3/4 gallon gas mix 24 to 1 before adding the seafoam to it.... Correct?

I have decarbed my '54 15hp fastwin through the pressure tank, worked great, no problems at all. It runs better than it did when my grandad had it.

Always mix the proper amount of oil, no matter what you are doing

if you don't use all the mix, just add more oil and gas, you don't have to discard it. after doing it if you run the seafoam as a fuel additive. it will maintain what you just did.
