Seafoam problems?
Has anyone had any problems with seafoam missing up their o2 sensor?I have read a lot of threads about this happening.
Forum Discussion
My initial purpose for it was the generator,I think i will leave it at that purpose.
I've got Owan 4000 and at the time of changing the gen's fuel filter I picked up several feet of hose and ran seafoam gas mixture out of gallon gas can. I had to take off fuel line anyway to change filter on mine. Gen seemed to run better after that. Just ran it till gallon gas can was empty then did it again (2 gallon total)maybe 3 hours.
I don't know about other RV's but my gen has it's little separate gas line going into chassis fuel tank.
Then I got really carried away and seafoamed everything I have that is carb'd. Even called Seafoam and asked about Coleman lantern, they said "sure I do it all the time" so did my Coleman lantern.
Couple days later a man on this forum, that is heavy into collecting lanterns sent me PM saying seafoam is bad for newer lanterns because the material that Coleman now uses on the gas cap.
But everything seemed to work better. Got the seafoaming "thing" out of my system and will probably use it again. But not on anything fuel injected.
My gen used to run very bad. After cleaning up all connections and wires, I put in new plug, air filter, oil and gas filter and I have a calendar that is circled on what it is due to get exercised. And I follow manufacture directions on exercising it. Runs like a charm now.
And I've also wondered gen doesn't have a oil filter? I guess that makes changing oil so much more important IMO.
