RE: sea foam
Do a search. There have been countless threads about this. Some like it and use it, others dont like it. I personally dont believee it works, but whatever. Just use the search and youll find all you want to know about it.

RE: sea foam
I don't believe in any engine cleaner! Just change your oil regularly and you will be just fine! These cleaning agents strip the walls of fine particals that get trapped and keep your compresion up and blow by down and also deposit detergents that can harm your following oil change, make the oil break down really fast because thats the only thing that causes your oil to break down! I don't recomend

RE: sea foam
I used it through vaccuum, fuel tank, and crankcase, and I swear to God, I have a much smoother idle and accel. My car would be "jumpy" at idle, because of build up in the fuel rails, and I don't have that problem anymore. Plus it cleans all the **** in the bottom of your fuel tank, all the crap that is in gas that doesn't make it into the motor. I think it works. I changed my oil directly afterwords, and I saw alot of crap in the old oil, indicating that it did wear down the carbon buildup in the crankcase and valve covers. I used Mobil 1 full synth. and I've been runnin strong as ever.
I totally recommend it for highermileage engines, such as mine with 100k. For lower miles, not so much, becauseyou probably don't have too much build up.And the smoke from the exhaust pipes is totally awesome.

RE: sea foam
CobraStang, how would it clean up all the gunk at the bottom of your tank?
It doesn't magically dissolve stuff in your tank, especially if it's dirt. You don't want to disturb that stuff anyway...
IMO, it's snake oil. Regular oil changes & use decent fuel + a good WOT run is all you need to clean out your engine.
