Opinions about Seafoam

[Crossflow235]

Was wondering if Seafoam works to keep motor from carbing up. Fresh new motor, only 11 hrs on rebuild, so there is no carbon (Yet)<br /><br />Could I use a can of this every other tank to prevent carbon build up? I am using synthetic blend oil.<br /><br />If it would work, would rather use Seafoam Vs Engine tuner. Fishermen hate it when you de-carb at the dock.<br /><br />Thanks for the input<br /><br />SRP71

I use seafoam on a regular basis to keep the carbon from building up.<br />It also works good as a fuel stablizer.

In my humble opinion...It takes 100s of hours for a poorly tuned engine to build up crud...and much longer if the motor is tuned and running right. Running products like that on a "fresh" motor is overkill. You're running solvent though the motor, even if it does have lube with it. If the solvent is going to break down crud it is going to break down other lubrication too.
