Use good fuel like exxon and you'll have less fuel issues... Trust me ---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ---------- I can tell the difference in exxon VS competitor fuel. Bc I believe not all fuel is equal. Some fuel comes with additives and exxon has great fuel I'ma exxon fan.

+11111 I agree with blackedout on this one. I love Exxon Mobil gas compared to say Hess gas. And I'm defiantly interested in this gum out and I plan on trying it out when I fill my car for the week.

Thanks. Enjoy this. Bc I think seafoam is a scam. It cleans yes but think about it after this guy on this forum brought up, where do these harmful contaminates go? They go straight to the combustion chamber what cleans it from there??? Gum out. That's why after I seen the motor head commercial I tried it, it's been 150 thousand miles later and still at a quarter tank mainly due to my driving habit I'm hard on the gas real hard and motor feels brand new at 130k miles.... And I love it. ---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ---------- Quote: |

Cheap fuel = out of wallet cost on repairs. I tell that to any big shot chevy, import, dodge owner. It doesn't matter what you have it matters on how you treat it. Like a women, doesn't matter black, white, red head, brunette, or blond it all depends on how you treat them... Lmao ---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ---------- It's all about how you treat it, treat it good it'll stick around longer... Treat it treat it well. ---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ---------- Exxon gas, and penzoil.

Just a heads up, nothing kills cats faster than this stuff. Its too big to get past the cats and can quickly clog them. I don't believe in any seafoam products because they break off carbon deposits (especially when used in the crankcase) that can clog up oil lines, shift deposits to worse places, and can quickly destroy valve seals. If you use seafoam quickly every oil change then I think its a decent product because it removes deposits before they get big enough to be damaging. But putting it into a car with 60k miles for the first time is asking for it. Gum out is a fuel treatment and really doesn't do the same job as seafoam. I like lucas top end lubricant for gas treatments and I use one every couple of tanks. (Actually half of one). Its just a fine oil designed to keep injectors clean.

The process they use consists of them using one drop of the stuff every 2-3 seconds over a period of 10-15 minutes. This prevents the system from getting red hot and ruining your cats. Of course the stuff they use is a hell of alot stronger then seafoam but its the same principle.

Seafoam makes a huge difference right away when 1 can is in gas tank and other is used pulled into vacuum line.

One of mine is badly clogged and seafoam hasnt remedied it yet. Of course my car also sat for 8 years do who knows what is in my lines.

They can be contacted by phone or by e-mail. As far as treating an engine that's in good working order, with Seafoam introduced into the upper intake, there is no danger at all. Catalytic converters break down by unburned fuel reaching them. The Seafoam, just like the $400.00 induction cleanings with the "I.V. Bag Drip" has to be introduced slowly. "Everything In Moderation"- Just like everything in every aspect of life.

Also Robb, which BG Product would you recommend for badly clogged injectors?

Did you watch the video? They said the same thing! It carries the deposits to the combustion chamber and burns them... They had a picture of it...if you believe sea foam is a scam for that reason maybe you should reevaluate your new product cause according to your reasoning its a scam too... Just saying..... Not trying to be a jerk either just read it and maybe think

Seafoam and Gumout were recommended to me by Ryobi. So I'd imagine it's a good product,

Anything that gets in the combustion chamber burns up. Lmao seafoam works temporary the gumout lasted longer.

But your reasoning to why sea foam was a scam was because the crap went into the combustion chamber...I added your quote...
