Anyone ever used Sea Foam?

[nightmare_82282]

I went to the local parts store the other day and picked up a can of Sea Foam....I put it through the engine the way the parts guy said....not through the fuel tank...He told me it would smoke like heck and spit and sputter for a few mins, but the end results would be amazing....I have to agree...maybe its my wishful thinking, but the little 2.9 ran alot better, smoother, and quieter afterwards....Has anyone else tried it?

Ive use it on alot of different engines. Form the 2.3l all the way up to the 7.5l. It works great. Ive ran in thew the crankcase and the fuel. It works really good and ill keep using it. All thou I found it to be a little cheaper at Walmart. Ive tryed the Trans tune. It seems to be good stuff too.

under most cases the change isnt big enough that you would notice. its enough that if your having spark knock problems, it could reduce or eliminate them.

I had that problem with my 2001 F150 5.4l. Not any more.

Does anyone know if they sell this stuff in Canada?
I wanna give it a shot, but my local Walmart and Canadian Tire both dont seem to stock it.

My buddy at work swears by it. I am gonna get a can and run thru mine after I get some other more pressing issues fixed first.

sea foam is the s*** i take and run it through the pcv valve if it has it or the break booster line for about 1/3 of the can then while its running i pour it in the intake tell it chokes it out then waits while it soaks the cylanders and then run it and finish the can either by doing it again or throwing it in the gas. also herd of people putting it in the oil and then runing it around and changing the oil. let me also say do all this once the engine is at operating temp.

You can use it in the oil, gas and the vacuum line. Poor it in the oil (1.5oz per quart) and run it for atleast 100 miles. You can keep it in the oil till the next oil change but you wont need to keep it in there that long. The oil will turn black and really nasty while it cleans out the oil channels and flushes all the crap out of the engine. It works hella good and Ive used it alot.

I will swear by Marvel Mystery Oil in an older motorcycle. Worked great on the slider carbs. AS for Sea Foam, looks like it would work great but one question. How does it work with F.I. and would it skrew up the computer?
BTW, I use high milage oil to keep the oil pressure up. (136000) miles on an 4.0 I6 jeep. That also works great.

I ran sea foam through my truck and my wife's car last weekend. I did my truck first and felt totally ripped off... I got one freaking puff of smoke and that was it.

When I ran it through my wife's Protege, it smoked like a house fire. I got my money's worth out of that can.

Both vehicles idle better now and seem to have a little more response. They are definitely more quiet, while driving, than they used to be.

I only did the brake booster/gas tank treatment. I didn't put any in the oil.

Been using SeaFoam for 20 years now as a preventative measure, and for storage....it's awesome.

Used it on my '85 BII, all i can say is don't do it on a Naval Base, There is always someone watching and 10 minutes into awesome pinkish smoke here comes the fire marshall and the fire truck! I reccommended it to them because after the smoke cleared. The brown beauty was purring! They were laughing and actually tried sea foam for themselves! What a day...
