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.

I also have a car, a hybrid. Is it safe for keeping my gas engine running smooth?
Thanks for the question, Liz!
Yes, Sea Foam Motor Treatment is safe and effective in the gas tank of your hybrid car. Just follow the directions on the can. Here’s what I’d do to get the most out of a can of Sea Foam:
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 keeping an engine running smooth.
Can I use Sea Foam on my 2014 Subaru Outback?
Thanks for the question, Jim.
Yes, you can use Sea Foam Motor Treatment in your 2014 Subaru Outback. It’s safe and effective in that model. You can use it in the gas tank and oil crankcase. Just follow the instructions on the can. Here’s what I’d do:
- Sea Foam Motor Treatment 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.
How much Sea Foam should I add to the fuel for putting a Polaris General 1000 side by side in storage for the winter?
Good question. Add at least 1 oz of Sea Foam per gallon of fuel in the tank. It’s safe and effective to add more than that ratio, though, as a high concentration works very well to clean out the entire fuel system as well as to stabilize fuel.
Here’s what I’d recommend:
Add at least 1 oz of Sea Foam per gallon in the tank. For best results, run the tank down until there’s about a gallon of fuel left, and add an entire 16 oz can of Sea Foam Motor Treatment to the tank.
Then, run the engine long enough for the treatment to work through the entire fuel system (about 5-10 minutes of idling).
From there, you can either store it with the fuel tank partially empty or full. Sea Foam will stabilize your fuel for up to two years.
Can you run Sea Foam and Cataclean together in the same tank of fuel?
Great stuff! I’ve been using it in my ’93 VR4 twin turbo for years. Where did you get the name “Sea Foam”?
Hey Eric,
Thanks for using it and thanks for the question!
Here’s the story:
“The Sea Foam story began in the 1930s, when Fred Fandrei, a salesman in the petroleum industry, wanted to spend more time fishing than fixing his outboard motor because of fuel-related problems. With the goal of finding the perfect petroleum blend, Fred created a formula that would stop fuel from going bad and help his motor run better.
The formula became quite popular among his fishing friends. He began selling it to local fishermen in beer bottles and quart jars, naming the formula “Sea Foam” after a friend in Florida called and asked for some of that “Sea Foam stuff.” The name stuck.
