seafoam's main base is gas line anti-freeze My boss tells me
We will never know exactly what is in this additive, which pisses me off to no end
Fuel companies justify the "secrecy" by saying that the average consumer won't know the difference, and that they have to protect their "propietary information"
IMHO, every bottle of fuel additive and other automotive additive should atleast have a list of "ingredients"
Anything we add to our engine can have serious affects on how it runs.
If I have a high compression engine (lets say 11:1 as I plan to re-build the 408w), then I will have to stay away from most solvent type additives, as they are likely to cause detonation. The same applies for the extreme boost that some of the 2.3t guys are running.
Maybe I am way off base there, but I think we should know what were adding to our cars.
Then again I am afraid to try Acetone to increase fuel economy.
*stepping off the soapbox*
JT- How do you let seafoam "sit on top of the pistons" ???
However you do it, I doubt I will have the courage to try it
I have used seafoam and various other fuel system cleaners with no adverse affects.
I can't say I have seen any improvements though.
