Default Anyone use SeaFoam?

Anyone here use SeaFoam from NAPA auto parts on their boat motors?
Supposed
to clean carbs and fuel systems... I use it on my motor vehicles and
gas-powered equipment, but not too sure about my outboard motors...

I used it in the tank for my 15 Evinrude. Didn't seem to have any affect on
the motor but I swear it dissolved the pickup tube in the tank, twice.
Bought a new tank and now the squeeze bulb in the fuel line is weeping
gasoline but I can't find a crack or leak to cause it. And I poured some of
this gas in a throw away plastic drinking cup to throw on a pile of wood to
start it burning. I got about half way to the wood and the cup dissolved in
my hand.
For what it's worth,
