Seafoam is awesome

My last tank full of gas was short of other gas mileage readings and the car has started running rough at idle. My car is due for a oil change so I put a can of Seafoam into the gas tank and filled up to a half tank of gas.

In less than one minute of running I could feel a difference. The drive last night, the start up this morning and drive into work was joyful.

Seafoam is a tune up in a can if ever there was such a thing.



Soak the tips of your old spark plugs in Seafoam and you might not even have to wire brush them to have them as good as new.

Many older engines run rich and foul up the plugs quickly, so this is a money saver even if using solid copper $2.00 NKG's.

You should be able to pick Seafoam up at most auto parts stores, if not go to their website and look for the nearest retail location.

 

George, - Are you getting paid for this ? - - nice pointer though...

I use "Plexus" on all plastic, wood, and internal/external metal & glass - best wax/polish I have found - available from most aircraft supplies shops

 

on similar lines, i've used spar varnish on many bows.

also worthy of note(along the 'eh fuel' line.) is putting a couple shots of cheap rotgut in your gas tank will cure all your water in gas ills.

you can use good stuff, but why waste it?

rum seems to work best. is there anything it can't do? i use it to treat bows as a rot preventer. if it weren't so expensive, i'd use it on wooden boats. kerosene works great too.

 

No, but the guys on Pelican Parts seem to agree with me, they also love "Bugs-B-Gone" made by the same company.

Long but good product video (boat uses included):

I've been a fan of SeaFoam for years. They have a penetrating spray that works quite well on stuck bolts too. I keep a can of the spray on my boat and run a few cans of the fuel treatment through the system every year or two.

 

Woa...What is this about RUM curing wood rot???....more info please.

RUM - - is a natural preservative - ask any drunk.....

 

alcohol works as a field expedient anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, preservative agent. the higher the proof, the more effective(if you can get your hands on some georgia white lightning, hey!), and it's a terrific natural thinner for varnishes to make them penetrate better.

howard chappelle reccomended using a bit of kerosene soaked into the wood and allowed to dry before varnishing(yacht planning and design) to kill off any bacteria in the wood and slow down or halt rot.

i myself like to use cheapo alcohol(such as $2/gallon plastic jug rum) mixed with tree resins to make my own varnish. the penetrating power is good, depending on your mix, and a splash of the rum beforehand tends to be effective treatment for the wood. rot takes a lot longer to set it, than if you don't treat.

but the single best preventer for rot is air circulation and keeping it dry(howard chappelle's reccomendation again), but kerosene or rum treatments help.

pure m/ethanol works too, but it's not quite so.... 'salty' feeling to use rubbing alcohol to treat wood. using a bit of rum to cut your varnish feels pretty nautical.
