Sea Foam. Now I'm a believer

Hope this is an acceptable topic for Tech issues.

I have read on these forums for years about the praise others have bestowed on Sea Foam gasoline additive. I never tried it until recently in my Honda 2000's and in my chain saw. The generators had become difficult to start, over the years, when cold and my Poulan chain saw had worn me to a frazzle, trying to start it and keep it running.

I added Sea Foam to the fuel tanks and couldn't believe the difference. The Hondas start on the first or second pull and the chain saw behaves better than new. I'm looking for trees to cut up.

After all the posts I've read here I finally tried it and can't believe what I have put myself through before trying this stuff.



I do not have any commercial interest in the product but am a promoter from now on.

    Sorry, I didn't see where anyone said Acetone was NOT a solvent.


    sorry ya missed it, read between the lines! B12 is acetone mainly.

    raw and burnt fuel gets in the crank case, solvents


    B-12 is about 50% toluene, it is about 25% acetone and 25% is not 'mainly', toluene is however also a solvent, so you're right, B-12 is 'mainly' solvents.

    According to the Berryman's website however, they advocate pouring the stuff straight into the crankcase.
  • All I know is that a little more than a year ago we used our RV for a trip. (Have not used it due to health problems) When we got home I had work done to the generator, put Sea Foam in the Gas Tank. Went a month ago and started the RV and the Generator. Sea Foam works!
