SUMMARY
Pour Sea Foam in your fuel tank to clean and lubricate your entire fuel system. It works through fuel injectors and carburetors to remove harmful residues and deposits from fuel passageways, intake valves, pistons, and chamber areas.
For cleaning a gasoline or diesel fuel system, it’s safe to add more Sea Foam to fuel. In fact, the more Sea Foam you add to fuel, the better it cleans!
Made from petroleum ingredients, Sea Foam is safe and effective when used in all types of gasoline or diesel fuels and fuel blends. Sea Foam does NOT contain harsh detergent or abrasive chemicals that can harm your engine or fuel system components.

RELATED QUESTIONS
Can I add Sea Foam to my 8 gallon Firman gas generator? And if so, do I add the whole can, or split it with my truck?
Thanks for the question!
Yes, you can add Sea Foam to your generator. It’ll work to clean fuel residues and prevent them from forming. Go ahead and add the whole 16 oz can. While the minimum recommended dosage is 1 oz per gallon of fuel, creating a higher concentration of Sea Foam to fuel will increase the cleaning power and is the best way to get the most out of a can. If you won’t be running the generator for a while, run it for at least 15 minutes after adding the Sea Foam to draw the treated fuel through the system.
As a maintenance standpoint how often should I add Sea Foam to my fuel in a 2008 Duramax?
Thanks for the question, Ricky,
Add it to your fuel tank every 3,000 miles or so to clean (and prevent) fuel residues and deposits. That will work well to prevent fuel-related problems in your Duramax.
To get the most cleaning power out of a can of Sea Foam, wait until the tank is low (2-4 gallons) and add an entire 16 oz can. Then, drive until almost empty before refueling. (If you don’t want to run your tank that low, you can add two cans to a little more fuel…the idea is to create a strong concentration of Sea Foam in the fuel, and then run as much of the treated fuel as possible).
Hope that helps and let me know if there’s anything else!
Can I use Sea Foam in a 1998 Nissan SR20DET engine?
Hey Nick,
Thanks for the question. Yes, you can use Sea Foam Motor Treatment in your 98 SR20DET. Just follow the instructions on the can.
Here’s a little more info on how to use it for specific purposes:
- Sea Foam Motor Treatment in fuel. The best way to use it is to create a high cleaning concentration of Sea Foam in fuel. I like to wait until the tank is low (1/4 -1/8 tank), add the whole 16 oz can, and then drive for at least 10-20 miles before refueling. It’s safe to add a high concentration like that and it works very well for cleaning fuel residues and deposits.
- Sea Foam Motor Treatment in oil. Add 1 ounce of Sea Foam per quart of oil in the crankcase. We recommend adding it 100-300 miles before your next oil change. That gives the Sea Foam enough time to circulate and clean, and it allows all the reliquefied oil residues to be drained away with the old oil.
You could also try High Mileage Motor Treatment. It’s made specifically for stubborn residues and deposits in higher-mileage vehicles. It’s a great cleaner!
How much Sea Foam should be added to the fuel in a 2025 Chevrolet 2500 Duramax diesel 6.6 liter?
Thanks for the question!
For routine/preventative maintenance (keeping an engine clean), add 1 ounce per gallon of fuel.
For a cleaning dosage, here’s what I’d do: wait until the tank is low (1/4 tank), add 2 cans of Sea Foam Motor Treatment, and then drive for at least 10-20 miles before refueling. It’s safe to add a higher concentration like that and it works very well for cleaning residues and deposits.
Can you mix Sea Foam and Stabil in gas for a mower?
