They have seafoam just about anywhere that handles oil, auto parts or
boat stuff around here.
It is supposed to be some kind of miracle potion.
I have never had it fix anything.

It's purpose isn't to fix mechanical failures, so that's probably why
you haven't had it fix any.

This was hyped as some magic elixir that "Safely helps quiet noisy
lifters, helps remove fuel deposits and oil residue, helps smooth
rough idle". They say it cleans injectors, removes varnish and gum

I have not noticed it doing anything.

It is basically just light machine oil, naphtha and isopropanol that
they sell for $65 a gallon or more


How would you notice if it was removing varnish and gum? Yes, it is made
up of chemical compounds but that doesn't mean that it's not a good
product.


I just said it didn't fix anything.
My rough running motors are still the same after running seafoam for a
while., If it is removing gum and deposits, they are deposits that
were not hurting anything.

This crap is sold the same way they sell fishing lures, golf clubs and
marital aids. If you think they work, they work.


I use it to clean carb parts and works fantastically for it, so I DO
know that it removes varnish and gum.
