What problem are you trying to fix? (That's a bit rhetorical.)

I have used Sea-foam in everything else over the years after I got a tank of gas with a lot of water in it, so just trying to stay ahead of the bad gas we get out in the country sometimes!

I use Royal Purple Max-Clean Fuel System Cleaner on my older junk. I don't think Sea Foam will help with water in the gas. There are specific fuel additives just for that purpose. Personally I think Sea Foam is snake oil.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

But I will say I have used Sea Foam about40 years and have owned a lot of old cars and trucks! And some of them would run bad with moister in the tanks to where they would run on their last leg and I would put Sea Foam in them they most of the time they would start running good! I was not going to tell you this but it has saved several time, just wanted to tell you this, I owe that much to Sea foam!

I use it in all my cars about once a year. In my boat and small engines every fill up.

If an engine is OLD and dirty inside, Seafoam can help clean it out. Carbon deposits mainly.

There's zero need to use it on a newer truck. Even fuel system cleaners... Just run premium gas like Shell V-Power and the added detergents will do the job.

I've only had good results with Sea Foam. Only used it in older vehicles that ran rough. I wouldn't be adding it to tank of fuel on a new Tacoma though.

Thank you, that is what I wanted to know!

If you "need" an additive, consider something with PEA. I've used Seafoam for years in small (and yes, some older fuel injected larger engines) engines with great results. BUT, as someone else mentioned, for at least a couple of reasons, I wouldn't put it (Seafoam) in a newer 2.4 liter engine. (maybe "Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner)

Thank you very much just got use to the old cars and trucks I guess! 56 Ford with 312 Thunderbird motor and 65 Ford Futura HP 289, with 505 iSKY Cam, I know I misspelled some of the words but I guess I sniffed too much Sea Foam!
