Seafoam dose for Suzi?
06/21/08 at 13:55:38
 
After turning over 6ooo on the odom this week, I bought my first can of Seafoam. Actually, this is the first time Wallyworld has carried it since I started keeping an eye out after reading here about using it many months ago.

What do you guys recommend - put Seafoam in the OIL or the gastank?  Or both?

How much?  The can says it treats 25 gallons....uhhh, no good at estimate for Suzi = more or less than the tablespoon that works out to for 2 gallon tank and 2 litre oil capacity?

  I would put in 2 oz. in full tank of gas about ever 2 months,In the the oil 3 oz. about 100 miles before you change oil.Thats what I do anyway.

SEA FOAM MOTOR TREATMENT for Gas Engine Applications

100% Pure Petroleum
Use in All Engines in All Seasons
2 Cycle, 4 Cycle, and Diesels
Treats 3 Critical Areas: Gas Tank, Fuel Systems, and Crankcase

   * Cleans fuel injectors
   * Cleans carburetor jets
   * Cleans carbon
   * Stabilizes fuels
   * Upper cylinder lube
   * Removes moisture in fuel
   * De-icer
   * Frees sticky lifters
   * Frees sticky rings
   * Removes moisture in oil
   * Cleans P.C.V. systems
   * Cleans catalytic converter odors
   * Oxygen sensor safe

     

How Many Mechanics Use SEA FOAM
In Tune-Up of 4 Cycle Gasoline Carbureted or Fuel Injected Engines
Autos, Trucks, and Tractors

  1. With engine warm, slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through carburetor or throttle body throat. (If vehicle is port injected slowly pour SEA FOAM through direct manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line.) This will pull SEA FOAM down on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve carbon. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. If severe carbon build up is apparent, use more Sea Foam as previously directed. Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time.
  2. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint into oil crank case to clean rings, lifters, dirty parts and remove moisture.
  3. Pour 1/3 to 1 full pint into fuel tank to clean injectors, carburetor jets, fuel lines and remove moisture.
  4. Immediate Results: Smoother idle, increased R.P.M.'s better throttle response and improved performance. See label on can for detailed results for use in each area.

FUEL TANK, CARBURETOR, INJECTION and OIL CRANKCASE.
For Peak Performance, Use SEA FOAM Every 2,000 to 5,000 Miles

   * A 100% pure petroleum product for use in all gasoline and diesel type engines, both 2 and 4 cycle. OXYGEN SENSOR SAFE.
   * Cleans dirty engine parts internally by removing harmful gums, varnish and carbon. WORKS AND PERFORMS INSTANTLY.
   * Removes moisture from oil crankcases and fuel tanks.
   * Stabilizes and conditions fuels. Use for engine storage.
   * Cure hesitations, stalls, pings and rough idle due to carbon buildup.
   * Helps pass emissions test. EPA Registered.

When Used Thru Injection or Carburetor

   * Cleans carbon build up
   * Cleans intake valves and pistons
   * Gives smoother idle
   * Cleans catalytic converter odors
   * Cures hesitations and pings
   * Restores power and pickup
   * With warm engine running, SLOWLY pour 1/2 pint through carburator, throttle body or direct manifold vacuum line that will feed ALL CYLINDERS. Possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. Be sure exhaust is well ventilated. Fumes will be extreme for a short period of time.
   * For use in injector cleaning machines, use 50% SEA FOAM and 50% fuel.
   * Fill diesel filters with SEA FOAM to clean injectors fast.

When Added to Crankcase (Oil)

  1. Frees sticky lifters and rings
  2. Increases R.P.M.'s vacuum and compression
  3. Cleans dirty parts
  4. Removes moisture
  5. Cleans PCV valve systems

One pint treats 10 quarts of oil (avg. 1 1/2 ounce per quart).

When Added to Fuel Tank

   * Cleans fuel injectors and carburetor jets
   * Cleans carbon as you drive
   * Lubricates upper cylinders
   * De-ices and removes moisture
   * Diesel full conditioner and anti gel
   * Stabilizes fuel

One pint treats 8-25 gallons of fuel (average 1 ounce per gallon).

Modern fuels have some pretty effective additive packs which deal with all those dirty deposits you used to get a few years ago, and modern lubes don't need additives if you're buying quality products (especially synthetics).

If you really MUST flush your oil, mix 50% diesel in the sump with your part-drained old oil and run the motor for 2 minutes (I know people who do that with sports bikes at 100% diesel – and boy, it cleans the inside of the engine with zero detrimental effect.  I’d have said ‘Noooo – don’t do it”, but they’ve proved me wrong by doing it at a bike shop for a decade with no problems).

Most aftermarket additive packs just charge you again for something you’ve already paid for in your fuel or oil.

  I would say best forget the diesel fuel and use SeaFoam.

Not having used SeaFoam, I cannot offer personal observations. But I did a Google search on SeaFoam MSDS, and found out what is in it. Percentages vary depending on the specific Seafoam product, but it has about one-half Pale Oil, one-third Naptha, and the balance Isopropyl Alcohol. Some discussions describe the Pale Oil as basically a 20W oil; the naptha as charcoal lighter fluid, and of course the isopropyl alcohol is plain old rubbing alcohol. It's your money and your motorcycle, but at least now you know what you are putting into it.

I once knew an old fellow who would add a tiny bit of Coleman stove fuel to his gas every so often to "work the kinks out." I always wondered if that was healthy for the bike's engine. Then as fate would have it, I was caging to a camping location and ran out of gas about 5 miles from the nearest town. All I had with me was a gallon of Coleman fuel. I put it in and hoped for the best, as I wasn't in a position to walk the 5 miles timewise, and I certainly wasn't going to push that car! It took a few cranks but the old car final kicked over, coughed a bit, belched some sooty black smoke from the tail pipe, and took off like a bat outta heII. Made it to the service station, and got to the campsite on time. Never tried Coleman fuel again, but that car sure ran good for quite some time. Maybe that old fool was on to something after all......
Ride safe,

  Sta-bil keeps the gas from going bad,Its says it prevents corrosion from moisture doesn't say it cleans anything.
