Sea Foam

[AddictedOffroad]

I've used it to pour down the upper intake hoses of some 22re's in the past and usually do it once a year with a motor about 50mi before an oil change.

However, I decided to buy two bottles a week or so ago and try it in my diesel tanks. I am thoroughly impressed. I constantly average 200mi to my rear tank. I got 240mi out of it. Still going on my front tank(roughly same size tank), but I expect to get around 460-480mi out of this fill up. I am honestly shocked as I have never tried it in my diesel trucks before. My injectors were rebuilt by Rosewood about a year ago too. Mileage has been consistant since this fillup. So, I know its the Seafoam working.

At this point, I am sold on it. Especially since its got anti-gel properties in it too.

I've put it in the brake booster hose on every older vehicle I've ever had. I suck it out of a cup until the motor dies on it's own, let it sit for a while and then start it up and watch the smoke show. I've always been happy with the results. I pour it down the throttle body of 4.0's though since the brake booster hose only seems to go to the back cylinders iirc.

Thanks for reminding me I should do this soon

^^ This is what I did. I sucked up a third through the brake booster hose, poured a third in the crank case, and put a third in the fuel tank. I've heard that getting the motor nice and hot and then letting it suck up Seafoam through the vacuum hose is more likely to clear out any sludge or deposits inside the baffle under the valve cover. I dunno if that's true, but it was nice and clean when I cracked it a month later to replace the head gasket.

Which diesel would this be? I would be very leery to run any product with a high alcohol content through the entire system, some folks drop a can in the filter housing, some good info here http://www.dieselbombers.com/alternative-fuels-additives-fluids/37780-homebrew-seafoam.html

I dumped a bottle into the tank of my CRD every 6 mos over the years I owned it.

94.5 7.3L powerstroke.

Plenty of guys use it.

I would NOT use it in a common rail system though.

I just added it to my truck. I put it in to clean the fuel system since the truck has been sitting for a while. As I sat there and let the truck run I was amazed. The sound of the truck changed. It ran quieter and smoother the longer the treated fuel went through it. The friend that introduced it to me told me alot about it when he had me help him run it through his vehicle. One of the important components is moly.
