Ramchargercentral.com gets pissy about SeaFoam.

[commando1]

Jeeeze, all I wanted to do was make my own.

They must both have small penises. That's where all this comes from.
But honestly - don;t be such a cheap a_s. Buy the Seafoam and move on...lol.

Quite the pissing match there and the one guy was the moderator what is up with that

Wow... All to save a couple bucks on some snake oil.

Useless snake oil at that...

for our older stuff, what would a person be trying to clean? ATF in the combustion chambers left to sit for 12 hours will soften carbon so you wipe it out, or just run the engine and burn it away.

In my personal experience, few fuel injected cars run any better because of additional cleaners, most positive results come from draining the fuel rail hooking up the equipment. Returnless fuel systems can't get rid of crap in the rail except through the injectors.

25% Cleaner>Naphtha
60% Stabilizer>Kerosene
15% Oxygenate> Isopropyl Alcohol (common Rubbing Alcohol)

Got it.

Just don't breathe its fumes, spill it on yourself or even look at it too hard.....

The same for SeaFoam, then?

Exactly.

I would avoid breathing in any chemicals.

 

[commando1]

Exactly.

I can handle it.

 

[Big_John]

I would avoid breathing in any chemicals.

In all seriousness, that is a good warning.

"I worked in a chemical company for 23 yrs"
"I am an Environmental Health and Safety Manager"

I've heard it said that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing; perhaps a lot of knowledge can be ...worse.

No man, HUFFIN IS FUN!

it will take 2-3 tanks of gas, but chevron techron is the only thing i've found that will work on injected engines.

 

[stubs300]

Whatever happened to Shell with Platformate?? Seems like it'd be more then popular today?

 

[dude69300]

I'm not a big believer in using gas additives but I have used Techron in my truck when going on an extended trip and using 3-4 tanks of gas. The first tank is run without the additive and when refilling I will pour it in and I will get a mile per gallon better mileage with that tankfull , so apparently it does help cleaning the injectors maybe ?? And I continue to get better mileage with each successive tank

 

[johnny ga]

i have used seafoam on carbs and it worked fine

 

[68plymouth383]

Seafoam has always done well for me

Same here, though Seafoam's magical qualities probably pale vs Super Shell with Platformate
