I used it occasionally in my Tri-Glides....And in a gal and half can i carried on long rides just in case...Especially if that can sat for long periods between uses....Does it help any, Who knows....But it can't hurt..:Shrug:...

Here is a recent thread about Sea Foam.

For everyday life, fuel stabilizers aren't necessary. When a vehicle is driven or used, the gasoline burns up before it begins to evaporate and degrade. For people who own seasonal equipment, classic cars, or boats that tend to sit for more than three weeks at a time, however, fuel stabilizer is a fantastic idea.

I use Seafoam and like it. A few ounces once a month in my Freewheeler.

As far as winter gas stabilization, I switched to Marine Sta-Bil because it's only slightly more than regular Stabil, but you only need 1 ounce per 5 gallons of gas, so 1.25 oz. treat my 6 gallon tank.

More cost effective & it gets the job done.

If I remember correctly, when I used Seafoam, I added 1 oz. per gallon of gas being treated.

Could I ask a silly question...how do you know the stuff is doing anything for you? You get better fuel mileage or stronger engine or what? Was your engine misfiring and now it isn't? I'd just like to know what y'all see that makes you think it's good stuff. I understand older engines that aren't running well and you use some and suddenly the engine runs better. But your engines now, what makes you think you are getting some benefit from the regular use of the stuff?

I don't ad it to engine oil, just my fuel system regularly. I have a 2004 Honda Element with just over 100,000 miles & it runs like a top with never a fuel issue. I have a 15 year old Lawnboy mower. 5 years ago, I replaced the carb & have since put 1 ounce Seafoam in every tank of gas and in 10 years, no more fuel problems.

And in 2.5 years with my Freewheeler, 4-6 ounces every month.

If it doesn't do anything fuel system wise, it sure makes me feel better.

At my club we [The members] have at least 15 ATV'S....And some sit most of the winter the older ones are carburetors ....And some will run like crap from the gas sitting too long and a double dose of sea foam and a good hard ride will clean out the carbs...The newer ones with fuel injection never need it.....That said just in case when i store gas i add sea foam or Sta-Bil as a precaution....My cars and trucks I've never use fuel treatments ....Most manufactures recommend NOT using any fuel treatments...

Quite a few years ago my TG started running like crap. I was 1500 miles from home and was not happy thinking about having to do some work on the road or in a motel parking lot.

I started going down the list...plug wires, spark plugs...about that time Mary pointed out that it started running poorly soon after a fill up, maybe we got some bad gas?

I went and got my first ever can of Sea Foam. Within 15 miles or so it smoothed out and was back to running well.

Ever since then I keep a can with me. Have had to use it a few times over the years, and it has worked each time.

Seafoam is very good at dispersing water in cheap fuels

We used it for fuel injection cleaning ( this was a pressure regulated cleaning done thru a schrader valve with the fuel pump disabled) You would be amazed at how good a job it did cleaning, it also lubes top end and rubber seals
