OK, I got the real story on this Sea Foam ****, and **** appears to be the key word. I talked to my justice brothers sales rep about sea foam recently, and he filled me in on what it actually does. The main ingredient in the product is kerosene, and not just a little bit, I'm talking almost 100% Kerosene. If you have seen kerosene burn, you will notice that it is not a very clean burning fluid. It actually is very dirty. The reason the product smokes so much is because of the high kerosene content. It doesn't really clean anything, it just gives off a **** load of smoke, therefore making you think that it is doing something. In actuality it is filling your engine up with even more carbon than before you used the product. This is totally the opposite of what you want the product for your engine. My advise is to use a quality product from justice brothers, Wynn's, or just about anyone who has one of the high dollar fuel system cleaners. The only ones that work are the products that are close to $10 a can. If you use a good fuel system cleaner on a regular basis (every other oil change or so) you should be in pretty good shape.
Thats my 2 cents so take it or leave it.

This is all he said, she said stuff...


Proof???

 

Check your info

Seafoam consists of:
Pale Oil 40-60%
Naphtha 20-25%
IPA 10-20%

Even the flashpoints of kerosene and seafoam are different. That chick needs to lay off the hash.

You know all it really does is loosen carbon deposits on the intake and then makes the engine hot enough to burn it off other internals. Same concept for nitrous. And the smoke that comes out is the pale oil mixed in with carcinogens from carbon build up that you may or may not of build up.

Theres your explanation.

 

and end of thread lol.

 

of course a sales rep of another product is going to tell you seafoam is bad and his is the greatest.

this is probably the most stupid thread other than anything made by dannyb or involving dannyb.

 

So basically, your Justice Brothers rep told you the use Justice Brothers instead of a competitor? big supprise!

 

More information I was going to add but couldnt get back on last night

I never said I believed it... I don't what the **** is in Seafoam...

I thought it'd make a decent discussion...

 

I posted that info here a while back. Naptha is the same as Zippo lighter fluid. It's a natural solvent and a pretty powerful one. Solvates carbon and hydrocarbons quite well. That's what's doing most of the cleaning. The smoke is largely due to the kinds of hydrocarbons in the seafoam/sludge mix that's being burned... they don't burn cleanly but they do burn off after a few minutes.

I can't say that it's a bad product... I kinda like it from a technical point of view.

 

Ibtl!!!
