Fuel System Cleaner

[nucklheadsports]

I've had to fight ethanol a lot. This has lead me to sea foam. I have also found out that several other local bikers allready used it. In this struggle I also found out a custom cycle shop never heard about using it.
So I don't have to spend a lot of time re-writing the story I'm giving the address to it.

This way a lot of other bikers can learn about something that cleans up their fuel system and even increases the octane level.

Sea Foam is an excellent product and I have used it for 30 plus years. And it's much more than just a fuel system cleaner

"
Sea Foam Motor Treatment is a Blended Petroleum Product, NOT A CHEMICAL and is widely used as an old oil residue reducer and moisture drier in any oil crankcase.

Sea Foam Motor Treatment is most commonly used as a pre service, old oil residue re-liquefier / cleaner / diagnostic tool, and moisture drier, and is also used as an after service additive. Sea Foam Motor Treatment does NOT add significantly to oil volume, so removing oil is NOT required for use, when used according to printed directions on the product container.

1. As a PRE SERVICE CLEANER for old oil residue, (sticky rings or valve train noise, diagnostics), pour 1 ½ ounces of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the engine oil crankcase for EACH quart of crankcase oil capacity including filter. (Diesels use 1 pint Sea Foam to 4 gallons of oil, please.) Drive a MINIMUM of 30 minutes/miles, MAXIMUM 200 miles, (Diesels 1 hour drive/run time MINIMUM) and then do your oil change service (LOF). This is the process of safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered. This also makes your old oil dirtier, quickly, so a LOF service is necessary when the oil gets dirty. Great for Turbo & Supercharged applications where hot oils deteriorate so quickly due to heat, those residues NEED CLEANING. (LOF = Lube oil & Filter service = OIL CHANGE).

2. As an AFTER SERVICE ADDITIVE into fresh oil, nearly fresh oil, or oil (used condition) that is NOT ready to be changed (by mileage), put 1 ½ ounces Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the crankcase per quart of capacity as described above, then SELF SET a program to MONITOR your oil for proper level, color and clarity on a mileage, timed, or event basis (like every time you add fuel, etc.) to determine when an oil service is necessary. (LOF) When the oil gets dirty, CHANGE IT!

Sea Foam Motor Treatment will safely and slowly re liquefy old oil residue, This will usually make your oil need changing BEFORE your normal scheduled LOF service. Only your monitoring of the oil for color and clarity can tell when it is time to do LOF (oil change service), or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Synthetic oils, both blends and 100%, were engineered and are manufactured to be 100% compatible with petroleum based oils, all brands, and vice/versa. Without compatibility, oil manufacturers and engineers would be liable for the results of mixing non-compatible lubricants.

Check your oil; monitor its level, color & clarity to determine the need for an LOF service! Change your oil when it gets dirty!"

I am a big advocate of Marvels Mystery Oil. I add 2 ounces to ever 5 gallon gas fill up. I have not noticed any appreciable increase in gas mileage, but I know it can't hurt to keep the EFI clean and lubed. It kicks the shit out of the ethanol issue.
I do not add it to my oil on my bike, but I do place a quart in in my trucks oil.

MMO works as a gas stabilizer, too!

I will take a look at the Sea Foam too!! Thanks!!

I use Sea Foam in my Yamaha 225 EFI Saltwater Series 2-cycle outboard. I think it works better than Yamaha Ring-Free to clean carbon deposits out of the combustion chamber and O2 sensor.

Gasoline has plenty of detergents in it. IMO, most of the time an added fuel cleaner is not needed. Sure, lots of people use some magic elixer, proclaim they have never had problem, so it must work...I don't use an additional cleaner on regular intervals and never have had a problem, and have some older vehicles that I have had a long time. Additonally, I drive a work vehicle that gets the best gasolinge the lowest bid can buy. It doesn't get an additional fuel cleaner. I spend up to 10 hours a day in it and have never had a problem. BTW, I keep a work vehicle a good while also...7-8 years...I should have a new 2010 waiting on me when I go back to work tonight to replace my 2002.

Ethanol?....I use up to 10% blend most all of the time and have for years with no problems.

I think more people believe it helps, so there is nothing you can say to them to change their belief......
I will run sea foam in an engine that has been sitting for a while. In fact I just added some to my corvette (It has sat so long, the gas was starting to smell bad). I do not use any additive on a regular basis though

I do not use any additive on a regular basis though

I unabashedly use Stanadyne Lubricity Formula fuel additive in all my diesel vehicles -- two of which are pre-2007 ULSD.

Running government mandated Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel (15PPM), in engines/fuel pumps designed for Low-Sulfur Diesel (500PPM) is risky enough. A lubricity additive is cheap insurance.
