    Question Sea Foam Engine Treatment questions


    Has anyone ever used this stuff for their boat motors? How did you use it? What were the results? Thanks for all the help.

    I use it because every comment I have seen on it says it is the best thing ever for cleaning fuel systems and improving performance. I thought it would replace Stabil as a stabilizer but I have since learned you need both, One for cleaning and one for stabilizing and protecting against ethanol, if you buy that kind of gas. So far, I've only run non-ethanol, but you never know for sure what you are getting.
    My outboards are old, so I need all the help I can get.

    Its not a engine treatment Mike.....Its a fuel treatment that helps keep the fuel system clean. Its good stuff, been around for years.

    Mike, it cuts the varnish out of cab,fuel pump and anywhere gas may sit. If you have never run it dose that new motor up pretty good with it and run the snot out of it. Leave it sit in carbs a few days then run it again. Then just add a couple of ounces every time you fill up. Also good to add some Marine Stabil every fill up. Check your motor for a filter under the cowel. If it dosent have one you need to add one between tank and carbs.

    Yes the marine stabil is formulated a bit differently for outboard and marine applications. I happend on a TV show where they were discussing the Stabil products. Up til then I figured they were the same. Won't hurt to use the regular, the marine is just tweaked a little more toward boat appications.
