RE: Seafoam
+ another 1--the white smoke is just the kerosene in the Seafoam sludging up your neiborhood and your engine oil (you did change it after running the snake oil through, didn't you?).[/align][/align]BTW, which of the problems (from their website below) were you trying to fix?[/align][/align]Common Reasons Service Technicians Use SEA FOAM MOTOR TREATMENT[/align]
[ul][*]When your vehicle has a rough idle, hesitates, stalls, pings or has an after run problem – this is often due to carbon buildup.[*]When your vehicle’s fuel injectors need cleaning – this is often due to residue left on injectors from poor burning fuels and contaminants.[*]When moisture needs to be removed from fuels or an anti gel or de-icer is needed – these conditions are due to condensation in the fuel tank and extreme cold weather creating gas line freeze or diesel fuel gelling.[*]When there is moisture detected in the oil – this problem is due mostly to poor ventilation and condensation. Sometimes, however, there is a bad head gasket, cracked head or block that must be replaced.[*]When valve lifter noise is apparent or piston rings seem to be sticking – this is often due to dirty and gummed up oil passages, varnished lifters and buildup of gum, varnish and carbon in the piston ring areas.[*]To help pass emissions tests – high emission numbers are usually caused by extreme carbon build up, dirty emission control items such as: pcv valve, egr valve, oxygen sensors or bad spark plugs and wires. [*]When fuel stabilization and engine fogging is needed – fuels of today become stale in less than thirty days. Therefore, stabilization and engine fogging are needed when vehicles, lawnmowers, snow blowers, outboard motors, chainsaws, motorcycles, gas in cans and engines are put into storage. [/ul]
