Sea Foam testimonial!

[Eggkr8]

WOW I love this stuff. I have used similar products on cars before, but never had results like I just did. I did three cycles of introducing Sea foam, letting it sit yadi yadi yadi. My engine smoothed out, got quieter, the oil pressure increased and became stable.<br /><br />Can't wait to tune it up and do the electronic ignition conversion

Re: Sea Foam testimonial!

I have used sea foam for several years now in cars, boats, lawnmowers, and go carts. It is the only additive that I have found that really works. Just what is in that stuff?

Re: Sea Foam testimonial!

Are you guys just using it in a full tank of gas or are you adding it to a small amount of fuel. I have heard of doing both.

Re: Sea Foam testimonial!

Tommay... she smoked a whole lot so I am guessing that there was a lot of carbon in there. I have owned the boat for 5 days now, so I really don't have a good feel about how it was before. MUCH more responsive to the throttle now though<br /><br />Skicat.. my guess is CRACK.. kidding. I think it is mostly an organic solvent cocktail.<br /><br />Wildcat... the bottle has a bunch of applications, put it in the gas, put it in the oil. The procedure I did was to put it directly through the carb slowly. You are supposed to suck it through a vaccuum line into the manifold. The only vaccuum I got is my PVC and the hose was stuck on.<br /><br />I think adding it to a tankful is prevention from needing to do the method I did. I recommend trying it. Most people do this every year as a winterizing thing

Re: Sea Foam testimonial!

Eggkr8,<br />Thanks for the response. I am new to the boating environment but have owned waverunners. I just pour a can of SeaFoam into the gas about every 3rd tank (18 gallon tank). I have never had any problems, but I started wondering if I was just wasting my money. The PWC 2-stroke world gets BAD carbon buildup and the experienced PWC mechanics swear by it. They just differ on how to get it through carb.<br /><br />Some users shock their engines like you did and get excellent results. However, I avoid "shocking" the engine like that due to my lack of experience and mechanics telling me they fear cylinder scoring. If I had fuel flow problems, I would probably do it your way.

Hi Wildcat1,<br /><br />Before going ahead and just doing what I did. I should stated that mine is a four stroke and I can see your mechanics concerns for two stroke. I will double check tonight, but I think there are instructions on the bottle about how to handle it for two stroke engines. I will post more tonight from home

Re: Sea Foam testimonial!

I know that this sounds like I am another shill for SeaFoam, but I had a bad case of hesitation, missing, bogging down after by 4th tank of gas this summer (June) with my 5.0L carbureated V8. Next tank of Gas I put in a can of SeaFoam and had not problems since. Not sure I can attribute it only to SeaFoam, but I never had the problem again.

Re: Sea Foam testimonial!

I used seafoam twice in my 4.3L merc, down the carb and in the tank, and I have used it one time in my 2000 5.3L chevy z71 w/100k miles. Couldn't tell a difference not a one. Maybe good to use if you can tell you have some type of small build up or hesitation, but otherwise, save the money for gas...

Re: Sea Foam testimonial!

Did I read that someone mixed this stuff in with their oil? What exactly would that do for me?
