Re: Couplea Questions...

Hey, I'm just copying and pasting someone else's comments from another forum about the difference in Sta-bil and Seafoam here if you are interested:


"The thing is, I've read the Sta-bil directions/label and it, like
Gumout, STP treatment and Seafoam also works to clean carbs and the
fuel line of deposits and moisture.
One post I saw was from someone that uses both in the same tank with
an additional fuel additive year round.
In the research I've done, I aslo see that the makers of Sta-bil also
make a fuel line cleaner called HEET.
Taking into account that Sta-bil is in a plastic bottle and Seafoam
is apparently (I haven't been able to find any yet locally, by the
way, but was not in an auto supply store at the time when I got the
Sta-bil) in a metal container I accept that the Seafoam is stronger.
As one poster said, it's strong enough to melt the hand grips on
Craftsman tools. But also over use can wear down the rubber gasketts
of the fuel lines. So, yes, I want to take it slow at this point and
not over due it."


Personally, I never even thought about the possibility that sea foam might damage the seals. Anybody had a problem with that?
