Sea Foam??

Anyone use it in their diesel? I just picked some up for my boat as it decarbs and stablizes the fuel. I also know a few people that use it in the autos to help clean the injectors. Well today I read the back and it says it works in diesels also to clean and lube, in addition as a anti gel agent. Anyone use it and how do you like it?

Re:Sea Foam??

I just found and started using this product in small engines [ pumps,saws,fans,ect. ] around the firehouse.
I really like the results.
I will be trying it in my diesels around the farm. [ tractors and CTD's ]
I give it a thumbs up.

I've used Sea Foam for years and I never get "varnish" in any of my gas engines that sit all winter. It really helps gas engine, and I use it in my diesel engines every spring. I've never had to replace an injector or had any problems with any fuel system. I've not put it in the oil because I change oil frequently. I'm sold on the stuff!

The only experience I've had with Sea-Foam is when a guy who used it had his gasser towed into the shop to thaw out the fuel system during a -30° spell this winter.
It apparently didn't work.

I personally would avoid any treatment that says it's good for both gas and diesels, we're talking two totally different animals here. Better to have one that is designed for only one application.
