Default Seafoam - How a Often To Use?

For those who use Seafoam fuel/engine treatment, how often do you use it? I finished using my first can over the last 4 refuels. Think it has helped.

Thanks

I use about 1 or 2 oz every fill up. Then I'll run out and it might take a few tanks to get back to the store and get anothe can. I'm not much on mech. in a can, but, this stuff works well for me. Fixed my weed eater with it the first time I tried to run it this spring.
use it in my truck, just everything. my sg chatter cleared right up. I think its great.

You're talking about just in the fuel tank, correct?

Yes, the one you put in the fuel tank.

Timely thread for me. I just found two cans in my basement today from a project a couple years ago that I was wondering what I was going to do with. Now I know.

well, when I put it in my Blazer gas tank...I failed emissions test.

called sea foam, they said run a few tanks of gas through to flush it through.

then i passed.

so let me get this right, I needed gas to act as a cleaner for the "cleaner" ?

last time I buy that stuff.

Marvel Mystery Oil..... 2oz at fillup. Removed carbon build up in my trike and now starts as soon as I hit the button. When on long rides and stop for gas, hit the starter and it crank over longer than when cold. After three tank fulls with the MMO fires right up hot or cold.

I use either Seafoam or Lucas injector cleaner about once a year if I think about it. In my opinion more often than that and it's just a waste of money. It's not a magic elixir, it's injector cleaner! How often have you had your injectors cleaned in your car? Every 50,000 miles?
