Re: Seafoam

Seafoam is OMC's (Bombardier's) version of decarb additive. They also make the aerosol type,and even have a neat fitting on the engine or fogging and decarbing, tat thier can fits.<br />It should be an industry standard, ifn ya axe me.

Re: Seafoam

Seafoam is sold at CarQuest and other auto stores.<br /><br />It is the best product I have ever used (40+ years)for blowing carbon out of old auto engines.<br /><br />It's cheap and highly effective, but will smoke up the entire neighborhood (really!) if you use it through the carb, which is the strongest method. Just be prepared...

Re: Seafoam

Lark is right. It's not related to OMC. It can be used as a decarb. agent and a fuel conditioner.

Re: Seafoam

Is it ok to used regularly in my fuel tank. Just as a fuel conditioner to keep my fuel tank clean. My motor has oil injection, so there is only fuel in my tank.

SeaDawg,<br /><br />Seafoam is marketed for cars, so it should work fine in your 4-stroke engine.

Re: Seafoam

Have you every heard of a product from "Revive". I found it yesterday at our local store and it said on the can that it was for decarbing engines. I was just wondering if it was maybe the same kind of product. And what about "Marvel Mystery Oil"? Is this something similar?
