Re: ring free fuel additive

ring free works great, but i am a little thin on disposable income, so i use sea foam,i know that ring free is more concentrated, but 5.88 a can for sea foam is easier to swallow than 33.00, both are good, just use something

So will ring free decarb the engine and give me better hp. Or should I use seafoam to shock it and put it in the tank everytime I fill up. The engine has never been decarbed as far as I know.

Re: ring free fuel additive

Stop fretting about how much of which product to use. Use the directions on the label and run it. Decarbing is a once a year or two operation but does not eliminate the need to use a fuel conditioning product on a regular basis. So decarb the engine if you need to but continue to use the fuel conditioner in each tank.
