" sea foam "

[Idaho ALR Max]

I got a tank of the worst friggin' gas in Idaho last winter in my Tahoe. It was running so bad that I didn't know if it was going to get me to Checker. Fortunately I made it and bought my first ever can of Sea Foam. I put the whole can in and drove around for a while. Within the first 5 minutes it was running much better, and by the time I pulled into the driveway about half an hour later, it was running BETTER than before I got the tank of water with gas mixed in! I'm glad a lot of you guys have had some kind of "wow" story with Sea Foam because I wouldn't believe it if it didn't happen to me. Good stuff.:thumbs up:

Water is not considered a hazardous material so it is not required to be listed on MSDS, which only mandate potentially hazardous(flammable, health hazards, or radioactive) materials. There has to be water in there, otherwise it wouldn't create steam when it goes directly into the manifold. Right on the sea-foam can it instructs you to put it directly into the manifold for "complete engine cleaning" or something. Water does not burn, it turns to steam. If sea-foam contained no water, it would be just like running gas through. Even when surrounded by alcohols, when the spark ignites the charge, the alcohols burn off(concealing the ill effects of water) and the water vaporizes. You think any engine additive is going to advertise "now with more water" on their package(or even hidden away on a MSDS if they don't have to)? People associate water+engine=bad and wouldn't buy it.

That article is completely backwards, and then contradicts itself.

- Carbon is an ionic substance. It has an electronegativity of 2.55, well into ionic (>1.7) territory.
-Water forms polar covalent bonds, not ionic.
-The last line contradicts itself, even going by the article's inaccuracies. It states that carbon is NOT IONIC(therefore covalent), and thus not miscible with water (covalent). Three strikes, it's out.



You've never heard of the "water through the brake booster line?" trick? As long as you don't let it suck water in too fast and hydrolock things,you'll get loads of black smoke in a hurry. It creates high temperature, high pressure, high velocity steam that clears all the crap out with it.

Maybe you should try the bucket of water? I let the head of a small outboard sit in a tray of water overnight, came back the next day with a toothbrush and the stuff came off with a little scrubbing. Prior, nothing even loosened it. Carb cleaner, acetone, solvents, nothing worked.
While that may have been "light" deposits, it's the same principle. Steam is just water with a lot more molecular energy so it dissolves things faster. Same idea of why sugar dissolves quickly in hot coffee but slowly or not at all in cold tea- and faster still if you stir it. Water will dissolve virtually anything if you give it enough time- that's why it's called the universal solvent. The combustion chamber heat is the "hot", and the velocity of gases through the engine/manifold is the "stirring". It's a bucket of water except with a rate of reaction thousands of times faster.

Huh?

Re: " sea foam "

I hear they fuel the space shuttles with Sea Foam. Those big plumes of smoke that you see for miles? It's actually from very dirty carbs from all the space missions prior.

God bless sea foam.

I HEARD THAT TOO ! ALSO BATTLESHIPS & SUBMARINES ! AWESOME STUFF !..unk:

Whatever. I guess we all the get point that however it does it, sea-foam works great.

K-100 works very well too in my experience(because I can usually nick a half-used bottle from work now and then). It was originally sold as a super-powered fuel dryer, with the tagline "we make water burn". Now it's sold as an automotive cure-all. Problem with it is that it's fairly hard to find in stores, and costs $10/11 for a 8oz bottle(for 20gal).

Where do you get sea-foam for $6 a can? Every place I've seen it around here it's $8.99(autozone, advance, the mom+pop auto store nearby)

 

[spursmech]

Hey, your gallon for $48.00 USD is good. Autozone in Arizona gets $9.99 for a pint. Spur:damn angry:

 

[m-cman]

Since I have been buying Seafoam, it has gone from $6.99 to $9.99. I guess it is getting popular so the price has to go up.

I just sold a 1975 Honda CB550F Super Sport that had been sitting for almost two years while I was busy on other projects. When I first started it, it wouldn't idle until warmed up and when revved, it took a long time to return to idle. Also, it seemed like it was running on two cylinders. Carb #2 float was sticking and would let gas out the overflow on to the ground if I left the petcock on. I put some Seafoam in and ran it in the garage till I felt it could be ridden. It was running rough but I needed to get some fresh gas so I drove it about 5 miles with Seafoam. The next day the buyer showed up, we started it and it idled fine and returned to idle when revved. He took it for a test drive and it ran fine. Just 5 miles and sitting overnight with Seafoam really helped it. The stuff is great even if I don't know how it works....

In Virginia - it's $9.99 in the 9oz can. Hoping to avoid doing the Shotgun cleaning so I can get it sold ! Whole can in the tank with 2 gallons of gas. Took for a ride and sat over night and I just drove it 2 miles to work. Seemed less rough but we'll see when I get out of work and get a longer joyride ! Bought 2 more cans for repeating when this tank is empty !

I just ran a bunch of material about the need to be safe with this stuff, and when I tried to post, "EHHHHHHH!!"

Seems I didn't log-in first & I don't always do the 'remember me' function.

Bottom line, this stuff will seek-out a source of ignition. One of its major components has a flash point of 55 degrees F, meaning when it is in a concentration suitable to ignite, it will when provided with a source of heat. And, if misted,as someone might try to do with SeaFoam in a spray bottle spritzed into the carb bellmouths, it can ignite even below 55 degrees. And, in a confined space, it's explosive (cylinder head).

Carb cleaner and throttle-body cleaner also use naptha, or tolulene, or methanol (Indy cars!) and they can all be dangerous. The MSDS makes mention that "prolonged exposure to vapors can result in death," as in your local neighborhood 'huffer' fixin' to get high.

I think a good carb soak will do a better job, but the ease of adding a bottle to your gas will always have appeal. An ultra-sonic tank like Sean has will probably work best for a carb clean.

Hi everyone this is my first post crashmymax is my husband. I wanted to let everyone know he has been in the hospital for about two weeks. He has been having some unexplained symptoms. He started to look younger and buffer but the strangest thing is he became an amazing lover. Shortly before he went to the hospital to figure out what miracle was causing these symptoms we made love for 14 hours straight. He was amazing and i am now pregnant with quintuplets. The doctors asked me search the house for something that could be causing him to become the perfect man. I decided to check his laptop and found this forum. After reading this thread i realized what was going on. I found 10 empty gallon jugs of seafoam under the bed. All i can say is thank you seafoam for turning my husband into the most handsome man, and greatest lover to have walked the earth.

P.S. I hold the vmax forum members responsible for telling my husband of this miracle called seafoam and need all members to send $5 dollars a month to help pay for the quintuplets diapers and formula.

Haven't read through this whole thread so it might have been mentioned already. When I had my last Max I had a real carb problem. Erratic idle, spitting and sputtering at low speeds and other issues. A guy at the local motorcycle shop told me to just rebuild the carbs and be done with it. His tech caught me outside and told me to put 2oz of Marvel Mystery oil in the next two tank fulls. He said it's what VW used. I did it and it cleared everything up in 2 tanks. Just wanted to pass this on. I've been using it in everything from lawn lowers to my sisters car and it's always had positive results.

MMO & SeaFoam are similar, the post I wrote w/o logging-in referenced MMO as a comparable alternative. I used my Emergency Response Guide from U.S. DOT to check 'em out as to the hazards & checked the MSDS's too.

I recall MMO as a top cyl lube & being endorsed by the Indy car racers when I was a kid. One of the other posters mentioned a MMO carb injection system under the hood, I recall those too. It looked like a Mason jar with a black rubber hose to the carb.

If it works just by adding to the gas, OK, that's easy & quick, but a carb tear-down & immersion cleaning is the best way. Try the prior, and hope you don't need to do the latter.
