    Default Seafoam


    A buddy took his motor into the shop the other day, and the mechanic told him to not use Seafoam because it never got out of the tank. I did not understand his thinking (unless he wanted more $$$ for more gas).

    Is seafoam not mostly alcohol anyways?
    Does it damage a motor in anyway?

    Go to iboats.com forums (over 141,000 members) and do a search on Seafoam. I doubt very much if you will find any remarks against it. No alcohol in it.

    Well I bought a 93 tracker about 4 years ago. Had a small miss, a friend told me to try some, about 1/2 to 3/4's of a tank of gas later no miss. Been using it in every tank since. Good stuff.

    Thumbs up

    Been using it for years in boats, tractors and four wheelers. Anything that doesn't get used much. Its a cleaner and stabilzer worth the money.

    I have used SeaFoam for years...I am well pleased with it..Only recently did I change over to CTC...That's what my mechanic uses and recommended. I have not used it enough to form an opinion on it yet.

    Hey, what is CTC? I too have been using seafoam for years in all my vehicles and toys.

    Farmers I know swear by it in their diesel tractors.

    You will not find any complaints about seafoam...I put it in everything I own...and get others to do it also. Its just really good stuff..if used right it will not harm anything....plugs don't like it though...when run rich with it. :D nor do the neighbors when you start smoking them out.

    Check out iboats.com....as said earlier..you will not find anything but good about it.

    Checked the MSDS for Seafoam and it has IPA in it, think its said 10-20%. This is Isopropyl Alcohol. Not that it matters, to much good said about this product. Billy
