    Works great on motorcycles, too. I frequent another forum for Kawasaki Vulcan owners/riders, and they love seafoam.
    I think I got one...

    Sorry: I fixed the link now. It should work.
    I filled up the tank tonight and had to use two discount tickets. The grocery store I shop at sells gas and they give out discount tickets to save money on gas if you shop for groceris there. I can save 20 cents a gallon on gas if I shop there. I can buy up to 15 gallons of gas with one discount ticket or I can combine two discount tickets to get 30 gallons of gasoline. I had to use two different tickets and therefore I could not just pump the gas and look at the amount pumped after I was done to figure the gas milage. I had to restart the pump a second time to use the second discount ticket. I'll have to look at my receipts to see how much gas I put in the truck. I had only gone about 170 miles on this tank and I use to get 300 miles per tank of gas. I think that the rings are not sealing as good as when the engine was new. I may have to use that Retore stuff again to get my compresssion and gas mileage back up to where it belongs

    I wonder if the Sea foam will dissolve the Engine Restore stuff. That engine restore stuff is a gray color when you pour it into the oil.

    I'll keep an eye on my gas mileage after I change the oil in the truck and see if it improves any.

    I may not have set the trip odometer right away after my last fill up so that may be why the trip odometer was only reading 170 miles. I may have filled up and then drove for a while and then reset the trip odometer. I think that's what happened. But I'll keep an eye on the amount of miles I get on a full tank and report back to you later.

    My Buddys and I use it in Engines around here all the Time, ESP Older engines that dont want to idle smoothly, add some sea foam & they will most times smooth right out. I have even Poured some Stright in the Carb ( careful if it backfires it WILL CATCH ON FIRE !! , JUST KEEP CRAKING & Suck those flames in the engine where they belong , or have the Cover on like your supposed too !! ) Makes a lot of SMOKE BUT Works Wonders

    IF you have a O2 Sensors going off, it will help it from going off sometimes too !! Never used it in anything except small engines & Cars & Trucks, NO Boat Motors

    My '88 model Mercury 35 idles rough but runs fairly smooth wide open. Lately it acts like it's trying to fall on it's face while running across the lake. May last for several seconds then it will clear out. I might give Sea Foam a try.

    I just used "Deep Creep", made by Sea Foam for the first time this spring. My Mercury 150 had a oil injection alarm going off so I started pre-mixing the fuel last fall. All of that double oiling created a lot of carbon buildup. I removed the plugs, soaked the cylinders overnite, removed the carb jets and soaked them also. Cranked the engine while spraying down the carb throats. Cleaned the plugs, and fired it up. You would not believe the smoke, but after about a minute of irregular idle it smoothed out, gained about 200 rpms, and runs like a champ. Awesome stuff.

    I bought a can of that too. It's more expensive than the can with the poor spout but I like the spray can version of it. I used it yesterday to spray into the carborator throat of my snapper lawn more. It's a brigs and stratman 5.5 HP motor and after I gave it the sea form treatment it ran a lot better. This mower is over ten years old and runs almost like new. I think I bought it in 1995 and it's been a good lawn mower over the years. It's still working good.

    I work in a parts store and have seen oil cleaning aditives that will cause an engine with a lot of miles on it start burning oil
    I will pour a can of seafoam in the oil drive home (12 miles) and change the oil. I think that it keeps the oil return holes in the head open and flowing but I am afraid to leave it in to long as my old truck has 160K miles and The fellow I bought it from didn't seem like the kind of guy to keep the oil changed.

    Maybe I am just to much of a wory wart. I love it in the gas.
