How to use Sea Foam in oil

Hi Ricky. For quieting the lifter noise, keep adding half a can of Sea Foam or High Mileage to your oil every interval, and it’s perfectly fine to add right after adding new oil. Sea Foam in oil will work to liquefy the sticky varnish residue that gums-up the lifter mechanism spring, preventing the check ball to seat properly. Easy fix, though may require two or three oil intervals.

Those are great questions, Joe! You must be referring to the video on how to pass an emissions test.

Answers:

• add 2 cans of Sea Foam or High Mileage to the fuel before doing the intake treatment
• you can’t add too much Sea Foam to fuel and cannot do harm, so two cans is never too much – adding 2 cans to 2.5 gallons is great!
• because your vehicle gets lower MPG, you only need to drive 10 miles considering the key is to drive long enough to get the higher treatment concentration working through the upper engine

Hope this helps!

Hi Diane. Because Sea Foam is made from 100% petroleum oils, a stain concrete would be similar to a motor oil stain except Sea Foam is clear/colorless. One easy way to remove oil stains from concrete is to apply dish soap (Dawn is great!) to the stain, then use a sturdy brush to work the soap into the stained area. Next, add water and continue brushing, then rinse away with until the spot stops making soap suds. Better shop degreasers will also work. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the question, Bryan.

I am going to suppose that you’re referring to water/fuel phase separation that can occur in gasoline. It’s important to understand that phase separation is unusual. Most occurrences include pre-contaminated fuel (pump fuel contaminated with water), vandalism (someone poured water into the tank), or a fuel tank was neglected/unattended over a long period of time.

Here is part of a Sea Foam blog feature that describes phase separation:

FUEL PHASE SEPARATION occurs when the alcohol in blended fuel (ethanol) can no longer absorb and suspend the water within the petroleum phase. The separation event happens when the denser alcohol and water mixture separates from the petroleum phase and drops underneath to the bottom of the tank.

BE AWARE: No fuel treatment can resolve direct water contamination or fuel phase separation. Any fuel contaminated with water is ruined and should be removed immediately. However, very small amounts of water in fuel can be managed by isopropyl alcohol.

A FEW MORE THINGS:

>Non-oxygenated gasoline canNOT suspend water. Water will immediately fall and layer underneath the gasoline as a separate phase.

>12 fluid ounces of unsaturated isopropyl can solubilize/suspend up to 2.8 teaspoons of water before the water will separate from the fuel phase. Isopropyl and ethyl alcohol (ethanol) are not the same thing.

>Isopropyl alcohol (safe, derived from petroleum) and ethyl alcohol (corrosive, derived from grain) do not share the same characteristics.

Hi Antonio. Adding two cans to 35 gallons of fuel is fine, but you’re only adding less than one ounce per gallon. Here’s a tip: I always add Sea Foam when the tank is low to increase the cleaning concentration. I might add 2 cans to 1/8th tank and drive 20 miles before adding more fuel.  Hope this makes sense!
