Life long Stabill user, untill this year. I am hooked on Seafoam after is fixed the sticky intake valve on my Overhead Cam Honda lawnmower. I then used it in my 20 year old gas powered weedeater, it now runs the best it has since it was new. Nothing wrong with Stabill but Seafoam is sooooooooooooo much more.

Stabil for years then switched to Seafoam, adding Seafoam every few tanks of gas became my habit.

Same as above, used sta-bil for a long time with no real problems. Tried seafoam the other year and the bike seemed to ride a bit smoother after being stored for about a month. Now I'll run it every 8 to 10 tanks just to keep everything clean and running tip top.

Seafoam went through my IROC with a punched 305 to 325 every oil change, Seafoam goes through the FXD every oil change, and will get put in the tank this winter... If you have a Farm&Fleet, they tend to have a Seafoam sale every couple of months, and i stock up then

Seafoam is awesome stuff. Had an atv that was running rough...ran some Seafoam through one tank and it must have cleaned everything up because it ran perfect after that. I use it in all my small engines, including my bike. It's also a stabilizer, so it works good that way too. Never had any issues in the spring after a long winter storage on any of my small engines using Seafoam.

Just phone the local store I get my stuff and they have the seafoam in stock so I will be trying that this winter for storage.
