    Default Seafoam...


    Would it be detrimental to add Seafoam to my gas tank? I run a 2014 Yamaha F115XB. Right now, i put Ring free and a stabilizer with each tank of gas...I run ethanol free gas (well, at least that is what the pump says)...

    I run seafoam in all my stuff. I either add it to my gas cans or directly into the gas tank of the equipment. I use the mix ratio that is on the bottle.

    If you use Seafoam in everything, which I have for years, you don't need a stabilizer too. But it doesn't hurt anything if you do.

    If your already using ring free no need for sea foam. But since sea foam is the same kind of cleaner and has stabilizer also you could eliminate both you are using and just add sea foam. Most folks over do stabilizer since it is really designed more for longer term storage. If using motor very often at all and adding make up gas stabilizer shouldn't be needed. Now if your storing one for the winter yes adding a good stabilizer would be prudent. Also I just recently discovered that Staybill which most of us use, has 2 different grades. One for normal use and one for long term storage. I used the regular in a tiller that sat for 6 months, it ruined the carb and had to replace it.
