Sea Foam is a gasoline stablizer, moisture remover, and cleaner. You put it in your gas tank.
I can buy it at my local walmart store. You could check out your auto part stores also.

Wal mart carries it, or auto stores, too. It's similar to stabil, but better imo. Use it just like stabil. I wouldn't use it in every tank, but once in a while is fine.

You should be able to get it at most auto parts stores, I know AutoZone has it. Check your local Walmart too, it's cheaper there.

I use it in my street bike about every 3rd tank of gas. Just add about 3 ounces when you fill up the tank.

Have used it in my truck too. As a gas additive, put some in a spray bottle and sprayed it into the throttle body while running. Make sure you're outside when you do that. Poured some in the motor and let it warm up before an oil change. Poured some in the PCV valve (engine off) then started it up. Again, outside with good ventilation.

Sure some others have used it in other ways as well.

seafoam is a basic petrolium that can be used in many ways, since it is so basic. if you read the bottel you can use it in the gas tank as a fuel system cleaner/top end cleaner. in the oil( it will mix since it is a dilutable petrolium) and can clean deposits in the crank case. i ploped some in my oil when my pressure guage on my jeep messed up, cleaned the pressure sencore and worked like new agean. I put seafoam in my jeep cherokee atleast once a month, and at 175,000miles i took the head off just for ***** and giggles and it was clean as a wistle! no deposits or valve seat leaks. i credit that to seafoam, because i know its not the gasoline im running.

good stuff, and will unsieze an engine as well.

Excellent stuff is what it is! I buy it by the gallon or the case and get a better deal $ wise. I have seen a carb totally gummed up look clean as a whistle if the stuff is run straight out of the can through it and allowed to soak for awhile. I have not used it in my oil but it says it can be.

I put about 1/4 cup per 6 gallon can. But when my ATV starts running rough I add more to each tank directly.
