Sea Foam?

[Moveon]

all Sea Foam is is isopropyl alcohol and distilled water . As a macanic for over 30 years I do not recomend any one to use this stuff in todays cars or boat motors there is better injector cleaners out there . Use this at your own risk as I take no responsabilaty for you your boat car or any thing else..
The best I have used a and still do today is simple mineral spirits AKA charcoal starter fluid . Use 1 pint to 10 gallons of fuel for cars and 6 oz for 6 gallons premix boat fuel .

To test if this is true take some seafoam and mix it with some water. If you see a phase separation then it's not alcohol but instead more oil based. It the seafoam and water will not mix if it's not alcohol based.

This is the first I've ever heard or read that SeaFoam is Alcohol and water? I figure it was more like xylene or toluene instead.

And it works. It will dissolve all the old burn carbon out of your engine and make it run better especially if it's an older engine. I use it in my truck, law mowers, chain saw, grass trimmber, gas blower, and boat all the time. Every one of my gas engines get seafoam and stabil in the gas they burn.

I don't think it is alcohol. Sure doesn't smell like alcohol .

I also use seafoam and stabil in my outboard. Works GREAT.

I'll use Seafoam for the first tank of the year to burn out the carbon. Does it work? I don't know but my engine is still running strong.

Stabil added with all gas in the boat. Does it work? My engine is still running.

I also stand in the yard and bark at each full moon to keep the elephants out of my yard. Does it work? I haven't seen any elephants in the yard.

I really don't know if these products (Seafoam and Stabil) work but, yes I use them all the time.

That only works if you do it nekked..........and TRUST me I don't wanna see or hear about it.

It is not alcohol I drank a bottle and did not feel a thing. With that said I use ring free and stay-bil every tank.

A am at a Mexican Resturaunt and almost sprayed my burrito all over the table when I read about the elephants. I would not stop barking at them under any circumstance. If it's been working.,..

Those outboards are vital pieces of machinery.

Pale Oil .... (napthenic mineral oil)
Naptha ... (mineral spirits)
IPA ... Isopropol Alcohol

.... basically a lubricator, cleaning solution, drying agent combination.

SeaFoam is 10-20% Isopropyl Alcohol and distilled water.

i don't care if it's made out of mule hockey...it DOES remove carbon. i ran an engine on the hose with a treatment of seafoam and the ground was black in 10 minutes. i'd say ring free, power tune, and all the rest are basically the same stuff.

Where does the idea of "water" (of any kind) come into play ?? The MSDS does not list "water" as an ingredient ... so I'm just wondering why people assume there's water in the mixture ??

I bought an old tractor this spring. Upon further investigation,1 cylinder was about 60 lbs low on compression. After a leakdown test,I concluded the rings were carboned up. It was either re ring it,or try something else. I ran seafoam in the oil for about 2 hrs. Then drained the oil and changed it. Compression is identical on all cylinders now,and has been running like a top all summer.
