Would Sea Foam help old gasoline in an outboard [SOLVED]
If I forgot to add Sea Foam Motor Treatment to a jerrycan of gasoline last fall. Would it help the gasoline to add Sea Foam now before pouring into outboard gas tank?
Good question, Peter. The quick answer is that it will help your outboard but won’t “restore” the fuel. Here are two thoughts:
First, year-old gasoline should still be fine to use. Note that adding Sea Foam to gasoline that has already degraded a bit, mainly the evaporation of light ignition vapor, won’t restore the fuel back to normal.
Second, Sea Foam works in the fuel system to clean suspended gums/varnish that can impair engine performance. Adding a can of Sea Foam (or better yet, Marine PRO) will help keep your outboard running clean as it works through the fuel system.
Hope that helps!
