Use to use it when all my vehicles were carburated. Worked great. Got away from it when everything started getting injected. Also still use Marvelous Mystery Oil as an additive

I use 100% rec gas in everything besides our on road vehicles, even at $6.09 a gallon. Star Tron at minimum rate with a splash of Marvel Mystery oil. I also have 2, S-10's a 99 Blazer and a 2000 pickup with a snow plow. The Blazer is my go to the cabin 4x4 beater the pickup sits all summer and only plows snow, both of those get a good dose of Marvel Mystery oil, as in tank electric fuel pumps that sit for long periods have a habit of sticking impellers and failure.

An elder mechanic's comment on sea foam. "So, you're adding alcohol to fuel to combat ethanol".
Made me think.

Thanks Pete
I looked up Star Tron and it stabilizes fuel up to 2 years. That’s what I am using when I fill up! I think Sea Foam stabilizes fuel for up to 2 years also. Pretty sure it says so on the can.

Every small engine I have gets it. 15-20 different motors during the year. Good stuff as far as I’m concerned.

I do recall my high school shop teacher who was mostly against "snake oils" telling us if we needed HEET fuel line dryer buy the Iso heat as Isopropyl alcohol bound to the water and carried it through the engine to be expelled as exhaust so in that regard seafoam being mainly Isopropyl alcohol does make some sense for cleaning and water removal

Been using it more lately, got a mower thats balky, i'm sure it needs a good carb douching but the seafoam keeps it running pretty good...Apparently you can use it almost straight for really fast results...lol i did not strait but very heavy in a free poulan chains saw I was given , it would run but just barely ran about 1/3 seafaom to some fuel mixed a touch heavier on oil I got another 2 years out of that little saw after it was given to me when it wasn't working eventually it was a compression issue that ended it , it didn't have enough any more

Dumped a large can in the tank of my '01 S-10 and noticed a definite improvement.
