SeaFoam has been around a long time. I'll give some a try on my 1200 and let ya know if there's a difference.

I'd be more inclined to try it if it wasn't called Sea Foam.

Cool Tried it. No appreciable difference.

Poured a few ounces in, Rode about 20 miles. Sorry, just didn't experience a new engine for $7.

manage your expectations. it just clean things up... it doesn't correct years of damage like some sort of mechanical panacea. c'mon man, and 20 miles isn't even a 1/4 a tank.


why did you even post that unreasonable nonsense. just to be difficult?

I put Sea Foam in everything I own: Autos, Harley, dirt bikes, lawn mower, chain saw.
My grand daughter's Polaris 90 would not run because jets were so clogged. I thought I'd have to buy new carb. Instead I soaked jets in Sea Foam and added to tank of gas. Miraculous!!!

Hey everyone!

There is a lot of great conversation about ethanol and fuel additives. We also wanted to clear up some confusion about ethanol related issues and add some points about using fuel additives for the right situation.

First, ethanol does gets bad press when it comes to fuel, however with proper fuel maintenance, a lot of the headaches associated with ethanol blended fuels can be reduced.

Although E0 is generally preferred in marine and small engine circles, modern engines are developed to meet performance and durability targets with E10 gasoline. E10 gasoline is approved and warrantied by major engine manufacturers from Small engine through Marine and Automotive. Proper fuel management is all that is needed to successfully utilize E10 fuel with little or no issue.

One of the biggest issues with ethanol blended fuels is the shelf life. Fuel does begin to break down quicker now of days (can be as littleas 30 days), however using a high quality fuel stabilizer will keep that fuel fresh and avoid gum/varnish buildup due to extended fuel storage.

Additionally, while older components are more susceptible to breaking down due to ethanol, virtually all components (gaskets, rubber hoses, etc.) in new equipment is built to be compatible with ethanol blended fuels (at least up to E10).

Finally, when it comes to fuel additives, be sure to do some research before making a purchase. Some products out there have far reaching claims and the further reaching those claims are the less likely they are to perform any single claim well. What you want to use is a product that makes specific, reasonable claims when it comes to today's fuel.

If you have any fuel related questions, feel free to comment or shoot us a PM.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Good for you, let us know your observations!

I PM'd last year about some samples, and never heard back, so at least someone's out there.
