Seafoam additive - the good, bad and ugly?

Hi there,

Any comments out there on the fuel additive "Seafoam"? I have been using Lucas, about every 4th tank - but recently came across more and more folks who have been using Seafoam in their diesels.

Thanks,

Wouldn't use it. There are some VERY wise folks here that have commented on the isopropyl in it and what it does in the crd engines. Do a search on seafoam and you'll have plenty of info. These boy's know their business here. With plenty of good products designed for crd use, why experiment on a very expensive fuel delivery system in these trucks.

Seafoam and CP3's don't get along due to the alcohol content.

Roger that. I have been using Lucas and have no plans to change that (other than maybe going to every other tank opposed to the 4th or 5th tank).

Thanks,
