This may be an old subject, couldn't find it on a search.

I have noticed at Walmart Sea Foam has sitting next to it on the shelf STP motor treatment, they appear to be competitors, and both can be used in 2 cycle engines. Sea Foam is $8.97 while STP is$7.49 for 16 oz. That is quite a difference in price, why pay more?

Uh because sea foam has been a real proven product around here. It's actually a great de-carb product if used as such and will work as a stabilizer for fuel. This early in the season....I would only use it for de-carb on the engine.

Thanks, for me if it weren't for my typos my post would be readable.

I meant STP, not STO in the Subject line - obvious I suppose but till embarrassing.

STP is a long time treatment outfit, they should know what they are doing. Up to this point Sea Foam is the only carb cleaner I had found that could be used in 2 cycle applications, in the gas/oil mix.
