I love the stuff it works amazingly well on carbed motors, I would say that it certanly can't hurt and its only like 5 bucks for a can.

People in the old west would roam around with covered wagons and sell things like snake oil etc as solutions for health problems. They did nothing, and sometimes would make you even sicker. They also sometimes had narcotics in them, so you got addicted to stuff like heroin or cocaine without knowing it. you got "sicker" while taking it because you were addicted, but you felt better each time you take it, so you keep buying it.

This is what seafoam is... pure BS.

Which of these problems are you experiencing? [/align][/align]If "none of the above:, you don't need Seafoam...[/align][/align]Seafoam is a kludge fix, developed over 50 years ago,for engines thatwere improperly stored for several years, or very poorly maintained (mostly for marine applications, that's the "sea" part)--it is NOT a necessary or even desirable treatment for properly maintained modern automotive engines.[/align]
