Anybody use Seafoam in your lawnmower?

[TNhobbyfarmer]

How much per tank of gas? Do you notice increased performance after using? I have never used it but I'm considering giving it a try.

I believe instructions are on the container. I have used it a few times when I suspect mild carb deposits, rough running, sometimes with some improvement, sometimes non. I would not expect anything more and have no intentions of using it routinely.

I drop a ounce in the tank every year.

I think the instructions, on the bottle, say 1 ounce per gallon.


I used to keep a shot glass in a ziplock bag. Now I just dump some in.

I used it in everything except 2 stroke. The 2 stroke oil I buy has preservatives in it already.

I use seafoam in all gas or diesel powered instaments 1 oz per gallon has stabilizer for fuel.

We used to swear by the stuff. However, we have had better luck using non ethanol fuel. Apples and oranges with regards to fuel stabilization but with regards to "power" the best product is the product the small engine was designed for- non ethanol fuel.

Primarily use it in the fall at last mowing or usage in all our power Equiptment. We also not use non ethanol 93 octane fuel. Has worked well in our household

I've given up on any additives and look for a non-ethanol Premium fuel source.

All small engine gasoline is high-octane without ETOH, and it makes a much bigger difference than additives in my experience. It can be difficult to find, but if you ask a small engine repair guy, he likely knows where you can get it.

I have been using it regularly for about two years. I add 5 ounces to each gas can before filling it so that all the gas going into small engines has the same mix. It seems to have mostly solved all the starting problems with my small engines.

 

[Walt 2002]

We have several small gasoline engines from 3 years old to 60+ years old both 2 & 4 stroke.. We never use any additive on a regular bases and only Ethanol fuel has been available here for probably 20 years. We have no problems that can be attributed to using Ethanol. Engine I mentioned earlier using SeaFoam in was just acquired with unknown background.
