i have heard guys talking about seafoam. is this good to put in the gas tank at the beginning of the season?

**RJ Gleason** · 10-26-2009, 07:34 AM

It's good to use anytime.

juice71 · 10-26-2009, 07:45 AM

stuff is great

**BC_Dan** · 10-26-2009, 10:36 AM

I use it first tank of the season, every sled. It really helps keep the EFI jets cleaned out. Like juice71 said, stuff is great!

I use it in the first tank of the year, then add a little every 4th or 5th fillup too. It's not a cure-all, but will keep your stuff clean.

I heard this year that there is going to be more ethenol in gas ( at least in Michigan), I talked to a mechanic and he said that a lot of people are gonna be burning up there engines. He recommended using seafoam. At least a couple ounces per fill up. The spray is also good to clean out carbs.

were do you get it from?

Pusateri · 10-26-2009, 10:33 PM

car quest has it

UtahSledding · 10-27-2009, 03:58 PM

I use it in my sleds as well as my ATV's. It is great. I buy mine at the local Wal-Mart. You can also get it at Pep Boys, Autozone, or Checker.

faster_than_u · 10-27-2009, 08:43 PM

hurray for not having any of those stores in Saskatchewan Canada. Ill check at walmart i guess

godfrey90sf · 10-27-2009, 09:00 PM

Most places carry it, wal-mart, auto zone, car quest etc. I have a bad experience with it though, DO NOT use a lot, just a couple of cap fulls will do, thats it! My engine was bogging out 2 seasons ago really bad because of seafoam.

redxcr440 · 10-27-2009, 09:47 PM

Is that what the stuffs actually called seafoam? Where do you get it and how do you use it?

**smallengineguy** · 11-07-2009, 07:08 PM

Pour it in the tank, just like dry gas. Any auto parts store has it.

98zr600 · 11-07-2009, 07:13 PM

**RJ Gleason** · 11-08-2009, 11:03 AM

No, only 4oz at a time is needed.

NO! Refer to my last post and the one above this, just about 2-4oz is it, otherwise you're gonna have a heck of a time and will need to drain the fuel tank. Don't use much, a little goes a long way!
