Reddog170 Posted April 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2011 Well my little silverwing always did decent on gas at around 55mpg. Well last weekend I put in some sea-foam and rand it for just a bit. It has sat for couple days. Me and a friend decided to take advantage or a beautiful day and went for a ride. Total distance was 208 miles. Total gas I used 2.9 gallons. So my mileage has gone up to almost 72 mpg!!! Sea-foam is awesome. Just wanted to share. Ohh yea if you ever find yourself behind a manure spreader pass it as quickly as possible and convince yourself that was mud that was falling of of it.

mini-muffin Posted April 7, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 7, 2011 We should have bought stock in seafoam when we all started using it. I tell folks all the time to use it. Most folks who use it on here put it in everything that they put gas in. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a stranger to using sea foam but just wanting to see how everyone else uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keemez Posted April 7, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 7, 2011 I seriously doubt the simple addition of SF would account for a 31% increase in fuel economy. What else was different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddog170 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted April 7, 2011 Nothing else major. Oil change and new plugs. That was it. I put new plugs in last fall so they were not that old and oil change almost every month. But not only did I figure the mileage so did the gas station attendant. So I know that THIS time I got almost 72 MPG. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAWildKat Posted April 7, 2011 Share #9 Posted April 7, 2011 Hubby and I started using seafoam in the car after we couldn't find the Marvel Mystery oil once, and we've always thought it worked better than the Marvel. We sometimes add it to the oil when we change the oil, others the gas, with a 30 gallon gas tank though we'd use alot I think if we used it on every fill up.

Reddog170 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share #11 Posted April 7, 2011 I put 4 ounces in 4 gallons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalstar09 Posted April 7, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 7, 2011 Here ya go......http://www.seafoamsales.com/ It'll tell you everything you need to know about SeaFoam Very informative site. Thank you. In the past I have always put 1oz per gallon in fuel, and definetly have seen the results of introducing it into the air intake through a vaccum source. I was curious how everyone else used it. Appears to be 1 oz per gallon in the tank seems to be the norm. Though I will try it in a diesel to see how it does in there now after seeing the website. May put it in my tranny in the durango too just because. Thanks again. Very nice informational site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted April 7, 2011 Share #13 Posted April 7, 2011 when my venture was running badly i have used over 1/2 can in 3/4 tank of fuel and it cleared the issues. But I had to replace a plug afterward as the cleared-out carbon ended up fouling out the sparkplug. I usually use a couple of ounces in every second or thrid tank.

Steel Horse Cowboy Posted April 7, 2011 Share #14 Posted April 7, 2011 Good thing about sea foam is that you can use it in everything and you can't accidentally use too much. C.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010pburgfish Posted April 7, 2011 Share #15 Posted April 7, 2011 It really is a Miracle Ginsu kinda additive! The ratio depends on your desired results. General use is 1oz. per gallon it will slowly remove gums and yucks in your fuel and combustion systems, act as an additional lube, absorbs water, and stabilizes fuel. If you have a tough job such as nasty build ups you can run safely upto 4oz. per gallon. I have even heard of people dumping whole bottles in don't think I would do that but I believe in it so much I've contemplated a good stiff morn. drink to clean out my Aging pipes. I have accidentaly spilled on my tank before and did not have means to clean it, I was sure it would be a disaster. When rinsed off NO sign it was there, but it did strip the wax off.
