Hi all, I read a few posts saying that this SeaFoam is amazing stuff.
As I stay in the UK I cant find it in any retail/auto stores only from Amazon or from U.S.

So...is this stuff any good before I purchase it.
If it is which one do I buy, the motor tune up or auto marine treatment.

Thanks

 

from what i have seen im not impressed. i think a good carb clean and sync will go way farther for you than pouring something in the tank and oil.....

 

When I started my bike up for the first time this season...it didn't want to start up. I put some seafoam in and let it sit a day. Started right up without a problem. Now, I tend to agree with Garmin...nothing like a good carb cleaning and syncing.

 

Seafoam is basically water. The water turns to steam and cleans off the carbon deposits (when introduced via pvc system in cars). I would never put anything but oil in my oil; and gas for that matter.

 

What?! That's just looney talk. We aren't talking about the foam formed from crashing waves here!

Sea foam is actually 100% pure Petroleum.

If you check out the website (link), you will see in bright turquiose bold face print that it says it's 100% Pure Petroleum.

You and I know that anything that is in bright turquiose bold face print must be true!

Seafoam foams site states that it:

Don't mean to start an argument here, BUT, Seafoam has no water in it. Seafoam is a solvent originally designed to break up varnish and sediments in two stroke marine applications. It is used to remove buildup of (basically) gunk in your fuel system. There is somthing in Seafoam which is supposed to allow the gunk to remain loose and not re-stick. Anyone introducing ANYTHING containing water to the PVC system in a car is creating petroleum mud in their crank case. I would NEVER use seafoam in my oil system especially in a bike with a wet clutch. I can't seehow it would do anything except thin out your oil. If you are THAT worried about oil buy a good synthetic (I believe it's a waste of money though). I have improved the performance of old engines with Seafoam several times. It does not relace routine maintenance and it's NOT a "tune-up-in-a-can)It's worth a try for whatWE pay for it but the UK price may be more than it's worth.
