Thoughts on using Seafoam

Post by 1925 Touring » Mon May 16, 2022 6:29 pm

Does anyone use Seafoam in their T or TT? We use it in our 1925 Touring and 1923 TT Firetruck. What do you all think of Seafoam for a T? We use it on each tank.
The future of our hobby does not depend as much on youth, but on the future of internal combustion.
The past is only simple because hindsight is 20/20.

It's an excellent product. Smooths out many an engine. Will help clean your carb. Trouble is its expensive adding to an already over priced gallon of gas. Never thought I'd see the day it would cost as much as $30+ to fill up a model T!!

After 40 years working on cars for a hobby ... and necessity, I finally began using it. Works great on the small engines like on lawn mowers, etc. I have 9 cars and a handful of mowers, tillers, tractors and atvs. I can't possibly make it to each engine and routinely run them so Sea Foam to the rescue. Good example.....this winter needed to fire up the snow blower....nope! Poured in a little Sea Foam in the tank and wait a bit. VROOOM! First pull!

Ohh!!! Its been MANY years since we had low prices like under $40 a tank....
Gas as cheap as the prices you complain about would be a dream come true for us.

I’ve used sea foam in modern cars religiously. Get over 300,000 miles on all cars with never a valve or injector issue. I do it every oil change and those oil changes are geared to what the dash board says, not a standard mileage reading. Some oil changes are at 15,000 mile. I attribute a lot of those good numbers to sea foam in the fuel.
I also use it in the fuel for the model T’s every oil change about 500 miles. One can in a full tank of fuel. I can get it here at Rural King for $6.99 a can.
Good stuff for small engines and mixed in with two cycle fuel, about 4 oz to 2 gallons plus the two cycle oil.
