Seafoam

[whitedogone]

Seafoam is 99.999% Naphtha with a little blue dye added. Not saying it doesn't do anything....just what it is.

That would be possible, after I get it going for the summer, I will check it again. Put new plugs and wires on, so I can't wait to get on the water and see what it does. Installed a water pressure gauge in the dash (that was fun) since I was worried about heat. Only got hot once, but that is enough for me to be wary.

How much seafoam did you add?

Every bottle of Seafoam I have purchased is clear.....no blue dye or any dyes at all. What kind are you buying?

From Sea Foam's website about the color removal:

In 2006, the U.S. Department of Transportation mandated coloring restrictions for diesel fuels. These coloring restrictions would have required Sea Foam Sales Company to separately package a diesel version of Sea Foam Motor Treatment without the familiar 鉄ea Foam Green oil dye.

In a time when so many manufacturing cost increases are being passed on to the consumer, the Sea Foam Sales Company Management Team believed it was best to NOT further increase pricing by packaging a separate Diesel Product, when the only difference would have been the color. Therefore, as of November, 2006 ALL production of Sea Foam Motor Treatment is no longer being colored.

Other than the removal of the oil dye, Sea Foam Motor Treatment remains unchanged since its original formulation in 1940.

I followed the directions on the can, it was last summer, but iirc it was like 1 can to 15 gal?

The MSDS for Seafoam disagrees with you.

I don't remember the ratio, but I thought it was less seafoam than that- it is possible that you had too much seafoam, raising the combustion temps.

If sea foam was so wonderful. Why doesn't the Navy, Army, Marines, Airforce, marines, Coast Guard, FAA and NRC mandate the use of Seafoam?

Mandate? Since when does the Government ever do the wisest, most practical, most common sense thing? While I see where you are going, it has no bearing on whether seafoam works or not. And, how do you know that they don't use it?

I have used fuel without it, and with it- and have seen the difference. I have used fuel with ethanol in it, and without- and have seen the difference. My experiences prove to me that the product has value.

They're too busy buying $600 toilets seats and $400 dollar hammers.
