Almost every thread seems to have a poster who refers to SeaFoam. I'll admit... I have no idea what it is other than some sort of carb spray cleaner.<br /><br />What is it?<br /><br />What are it's uses and applications?<br /><br />How is it applied?<br /><br />Thanks all !

Re: Extoll the virtues of SeaFoam

It's a magical fluid that comes in a can and can fix every engine problem known to man. ;) <br /> http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cg...eafoam&**********=488058195&*******=246936327 <br />Cleans carbs, intakes, valves, crankcases, pistons, lubricates, removes water, and stabilizes fuel. Deep Creep, which is seafoam in an aerosol can makes a good air tool lube, penetrating oil, bug spray and salad dressing.

Re: Extoll the virtues of SeaFoam

This stuff was developed in the early 40s for the military use. It has an oil base so it is good in 2 strokes.<br />It has good cleaning and dissolving properties.<br />I swear by this stuff and buy it by the case full.<br />Do you cut grass with a weed eater? If you do then you know how those things can be hard starting. Well pour you about two ounces in your next fill up and run that thing while weed eating and run it all out and lay your eater down. When you go to use it again you will see how much easier it starts and you can use this in anything with a motor.

just 2 stroke?<br /><br />If DeepCreep is a spray can, then what is seafoam, a bottle liquid?<br /><br />Honestly,,, I've never seen it.

Hey OZ, I bet we knew about it before everyone else! :p :p Its too good to keep a secret. <br /><br />Its magical on some things alright. The product in the regular can can be sucked into a car or truck engine through the vacume line to the power brakes and will clean carbon out like knowones business. Let it sit overnight. Only other spray product I have around like that is Gibbs Lubricant. Although for many other things, its the dangdest gun oil I have ever seen. You will absolutly "NEVER" have any rust if you use gibbs. You find it under GIBBs BRAND if you do a search.

Yep...cars, trucks, boats, lawnmowers, generators, airplanes....whatever you got. ;) It's a good indicator of the condition of your engine - if you pour it in the intake and you make lots of smoke, your engine was dirty and it's cleaning it out. If you pour it in your intake and nothing happens, your engine was already clean.<br /><br />When I first got my boat for some reason it would stumble and die anytime you pushed it over 1200 RPMs. Nobody could figure out why. Finally I sprayed two cans of deep creep through it...ran like new.

Re: Extoll the virtues of SeaFoam

Seafoam is liquid, and Seafoam Deep Creep is aerosol.<br /><br />MSDS lists it as Naptha, alcohol, and light oil.<br />Works as a fuel stabilizer, and as an engine fogging oil too.<br />Same ingredients but in different proportions used to flush transmission and auto engine oil of crud.<br /><br /><br />Read this: http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=36;t=000016 <br /><br />Some guys will run a can of it thru the engine in just a gallon of gas.

A 100% pure petroleum product for use in all gasoline and diesel type engines, both 2 and 4 cycle.
