Sea Foam® Motor Treatment is a unique 100% pure petroleum oil product, developed to solve specific problems that are common to gasoline, gas/oil mixed fuels & diesel fuels used in all types and styles of 2 cycle, 4 cycle, diesel and Rotary (Wankel type) engines in common use in all automotive, truck, fleet, industrial, agricultural, specialty industries and small engine applications.
When Sea Foam® Motor Treatment is added at 1 ounce per gallon to commonly available 10% & 15 % blended Ethanol fuels as recommended, Sea Foam®:

• Adds lubrication for upper cylinders and vital fuel system components
• Dries moisture and works as an anti-gel
• Cleans fuel system residue
• Stabilizes fuel for up to 2 years or more
• Cleans carbon deposits from pistons, heads & valves as the engine is run

 

 

Sea Foam® has been used in Ethanol fuels (10%, 15% and most recently E-85) successfully since their initial introduction into the marketplace during the 1990’s. As these “New” Ethanol fuels become more widely available nationwide, questions have arisen about the use of Sea Foam® Motor Treatment in Ethanol fuels.
Sea Foam® Motor Treatment has been performing its engine component cleaning function in gasoline and diesel engines since 1940, and now it performs this same function just as well in Ethanol-blended fuels. An average one ounce Sea Foam® per gallon of Fuel is recommended in both gasoline and in 10% & 15% Ethanol blends.
Ethanol fuels differ from standard gasoline in a few aspects, presenting potential issues that can be addressed through the use of Sea Foam® Motor Treatment.

1. Ethanol tends to strip engine oil from cylinder walls and can be harsh on exposed surfaces & components that require lubrication. Sea Foam® is oil, adding lubrication to upper cylinders that will prolong the life of your engine.
2. Ethanol absorbs moisture which needs to be removed from the Ethanol. Sea Foam® dries moisture from fuel and helps prevent phase separation.
3. Ethanol blended fuel leaves deposits which periodically need to be cleaned. Sea Foam® is a fuel residue and carbon cleaner.
4. Ethanol deteriorates as fast as non-ethanol fuel, the need to stabilize remains. Sea Foam® is the best fuel stabilizer around.

 

Sea Foam® recommends 2 ounces of Sea Foam® per gallon of E-85 blended fuel for moisture control and added lubrication because of E-85’s MINIMUM 70% ethanol content. (Minnesota labels E-85 as MINIMUM 70% Ethanol content or more)

THE USE OF Sea Foam® MOTOR TREATMENT IN E-85 FUELS
Technical Services Department – Sea Foam® Sales Company

Sea Foam® Motor Treatment is a unique 100% pure petroleum oil product that solves specific concerns in engines that use E-85 fuels. Sea Foam® recommends adding 2 ounces of Sea Foam® Motor Treatment per gallon of E-85 blended fuels for the best results. Always follow instructions for all applications - Use in Fuels, Use by Induction (Air Intake, Main Manifold Vacuum line serving all cylinders or Direct Induction Systems).

1. Cleans fuel injectors – Add to Fuel or Use Direct Induction System. E-85 leaves deposits on injectors, which periodically needs to be cleaned.
2. Cleans carbon - Add to Fuel or Use by Direct Induction Systems. E-85 leaves carbon deposits the same as non-ethanol fuels and must be cleaned.
3. Cleans carburetor jets–Add to Fuel. E-85 leaves residue in carburetors that must be cleaned.
4. Helps prevent corrosion issues common to E-85 fuels and removes moisture - Add to Fuel. E-85 is corrosive and draws moisture that must be removed.
5. Adds lubricity – Add to Fuel. E-85 fuel lacks lubrication and is harsh on engine parts. The use of Sea Foam® Motor Treatment gives the lubricity needed for less wear on engines.
6. Stabilizes fuels – Add to Fuel. E-85 becomes stale within 30 days and must be stabilized. Sea Foam® Motor Treatment stabilizes fuels for 2 years.
7. Upper cylinder lubrication–Add to Fuel. E-85 is harsh on engine parts and the use of Sea Foam® Motor Treatment gives the lubrication needed for less wear on engine parts.
8. Cleans catalytic converter odors – Add to Fuel. The use of Sea Foam® Motor Treatment helps remove converter odors.
9. Cleans P.C.V. systems – Add to Fuel. The use of Sea Foam® Motor Treatment helps keep P.C.V. Systems clean.
