That's an urban myth centred around the fact it is 90 percent "petroleum distillates".
It is however 50 percent Pale Oil which naphthenic mineral oil. Different stuff that does a different job.
It is not a myth, however, that SeaFoam is about 90 percent profit for the company that makes it.

But if you already have a problem due to fuel system deposits, B12 will do a MUCH better job of removing them. That is not a myth.
