Hey!

I want to share the YouTube - testing: Ethanol shiel, Mechinic in, and Sea Foam.

For a few years, I have used Sea Foam for WH 312, C160, Auto 12 - it seems to improve a bit on the engine.

I've also used Sea Form for 2003 Highlander (it does help a lot!) and 2016 F160.  

 

Here the tests show - Any comments for debats?

Interesting tests.  Not sure how relevant they are to how the product acts when run through an engine.

 

I treat my rec fuel with Seafoam at 8oz per 5 gallons of gas.  Seems to work OK.  Some balky engines it seems to help, others, not so much.

 

After seeing this, I think I'll get some Ethanol Shield or Mechanic in a Bottle to run in Pack Rat, the Allis Chalmers B-110.  It has a backfiring issue on throttle down - particularly when it is cold.  I'm kind of wondering how much carbon build up it has.  Yes, I know I should pull the head and take a look.  Maybe I'll get to that this summer.

@Phan do you have ethanol free fuel up there in Canada? This helps a lot. Also you don’t have to use a lot of additives been using it now for about three years.

I use an ounce of stabil 360 to 5 gallons of ethanol gas. Since I started using the stabil, I have not had any problems

I don't listen to a thing she says or any of the snake oil deniers. 

 

I use Sea Foam and it works. Period

Where do you find a good mechanic in a bottle? That way I could spend time in the house with my Jeannie in the bottle while the wife is at work.

It has some but they are not near my place.

How often I should use Ethanol shiel or Mechanic in to the fuel?

For Sea Foam, I added one a year for Highlander and F150 with a ratio of 10ml:1L fuel. As for WHs, I use each time when I fill the tank.

Small engine shops recommend me as well.

@Phan   major thing that  starts engine break down is VARNISH , without  a cleaning / flushing effect  , it  simply  cools down and reheats , for continuous issue , sea foam IS SHOWING YOU THE WAY , in the fuel burn , tried  RISLONE  ZINK  ZDDP , in my engine oils years ago , guess what  ? no oil  burning at all  , 4 oz for 2 qts of  oil , also use STA BIL in my fuels , no  rubber hose break down , proof ? 2 fuel filters on each tractor, one at tank another just before carb , filters are always  clean and clear , also replaced  all original  rubber hoses , LOVE REPEDITIVE PROBLENS ?  dissect it , at every stage , improve / change any fault area , you already know what fails , typically you can't even see that change , example / ?  trunnion lever connection , change to a HEIM JOINT  , WASHERED UP/ LUBED  FOR SOLID MOVEMENT , BOMBPROOF. have a number of those on my horses .none of my engines smoke or run crappy  , just how I look at , a REPEDITIVE PROBLEM . MAKE A CHANGE .  PETE

My self I have to drive a little over an hour. I can Handel that. It is really worth it because no degrading of fuel lines. That’s the problem with regular fuel. it just eats away the fuel lines causing all kinds of problems.
