In quite a few posts in here, there is a reference to a product called SeaFoam. Is that an American name brand of carb cleaner or just a slang name for another product?
sea foam has been around since the 1930,s .nowhere on their site do they say it was made for omc.it is a generic cleaner used on and for many applications.
Probably same carbon cleaners & inhibitors with different fancy names, Sea Foam is mixed with gasoline inside tanks, Engine Tuner is sprayed with engine on to clean, remove carbon deposits inside engine, mainly piston rings, exhausts. Must be used at each 100 worked hours if boaters don't regularly use Sea Foam or non at all.
Google: Marine Fuel Additives for lots of info...MSDS is a Material Safety Data Sheet will give most ingredients for various products. Most are naphtha, stoddard solvent(thinner),amines, alcohol, a few others. Sea Foam has been around a long time and is pretty well accepted as a fuel stabilizer and to prevent/remove carbon deposits...Good Luck!
You can find seafoam just about anywhere. Even at your local gas station. The key is to find it at the right price. Around here I see it anywhere from $6 - $11/can. Anytime I can get a good price I load up on the stuff. Been using it for yeas. I use it in every thing I have that has a piston(s)......
Thanks for the help and replies to this post. I have since purchased seafoam and found it to be a excellent product and when you are using it, a very good mosquito deterrent . Your help is much appreciated
+1. Seafoam is a good thing. Sure, it'll make your old motor smoke like crazy for a bit, but it should be much happier afterwards. I even use it in my old Ranger pick up truck with good effect. Just warn the neighbors so they don't think you're house is on fire!
