    I use Seafoam and a splash of Marvels mystery oil as well in nearly everything. I just ran our power washer yesterday, and it gets used "maybe" three times a year, the longer it ran the smoother it got!

    Tip on were to buy it.....

    Walmart is usually the cheapest. At 6.99 I think. Auto parts stores seem like the worst at $10 or $11.

    Has anyone run the knock odd ones I have seen two at walmart. Bottle is even same shape and material. STP has been there a few years and has one ans its similar or same ingredients (naptha...and perteoleium distilates or somerhing). And recently I have seen another its maybe gumout? I
    There the same price as each other and are maybe $1-2 cheaper than sea foam but you can get sea foam on sale other places cheaper than walmart. For about the same price.

    I think I was reading on another forum about people talking about them but no one had run enough to tell anything .

    Sometimes part stores have a decent price and then buy x bottles and get one free that makes it a deal

    Just thinking out loud...
    Has anyone used it in a US cleaner when carbs need cleaning ?
    I usually fill a ziplock bag of "cleaner" just big enough to hold the carb, then fill the tank with water.
    Wonder if the sea foam will help breakdown the schputz in a carb.

    I am sure it would work. Carb cleaner is pretty nasty stuff. It might work even better in a US
