I do add a bit of Seafoam every time I add fuel to the genny tank, no doubt that has played a significant role in keeping our fuel delivery system and carb from gumming up over the years.
Maybe but not likely.
You are wasting a LOT of money over the years on a product of marginal worth as a fuel system cleaner.
Berrymans B12 Chemtool is a MUCH better cleaner and is about 1/3 the price.
The company that sells SeaFoam now is named "Seafoam Sales Company".
And they are great at......SALES.....of a generally inferior product.
I have had great results with the Berryman product. Stabil was used in my roto-tiller and the carburetor was gummed up. Not sure why as I have excellent results with it before.
A small Honda engine man suggested a product called "mechanic in a bottle" it is a fuel additive purchased at big hardware store. I added as directed, let the machine idle for an hour and the slow response/half choke situation went away.
I purchased Berryman by the case. My dad used "marvel mystery oil" in his machines /cars/trucks way back when and swore by it. Some say it is trans fluid, IDK.
My diesel gets fuel additive since the low sulphur content fuel we have today.
