2 Cycle Engines
To add volatility and stabilize fuel for up to 2 years, add 2 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of gas / oil mix.
To control moisture buildup in2 cycle fuel, add 2 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of gasoline. Sea Foam will prevent phase separation of the moisture that accumulates in mixed fuel.
To control moisture buildup, add 2 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of gas oil mix.
To clean carburetor bowl and jets, add 2 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of gas oil mix. Sea Foam slowly re-liquefies old fuel and oil varnish residue deposits to clear passages and restore normal functionality. If you wish to spray atomized Sea foam directly in to the carburetor throat with the engine warm and running, use DEEP CREEP (Sea Foam in an aerosol can.) -See Instructions
4 Cycle Engines
To add volatility and stabilize fuel for up to 2 years, add 1 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of fuel.
To lubricate upper cylinders, add 1 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of fuel.
To control moisture buildup in oil, add 1½ oz. Sea Foam to each quart of oil. Sea foam will prevent phase separation of moisture that accumulates in oil. Moisture will evaporate under the heat of the crank case. Change oil and filter when dirty.
To control moisture buildup, add 2 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of gas oil mix.
To clean carbon and varnish deposits from the tops of cylinders and the backs of intake valves, add 1 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of fuel. Sea Foam will slowly re-liquefy the varnish and gum deposits that hold carbon together.
To remove carbon and varnish deposits more quickly, Sea Foam can be induced directly into the combustion chamber via the following method. With the engine warmed up and running, SLOWLY POUR 1/3 to ½ can of Sea Foam down the carburetor throat or into any main manifold vacuum line that DISTRIBUTES EVENLY TO ALL CYLINDERS. Note that some newer induction systems, like those found on Vortec and Subaru “H” style engines, do not have any vacuum line that distribute evenly. Consequently, this process should only be attempted by technicians with a comprehensive understanding of the engine’s induction system.Once the product has been applied, turn off the engine and allow the Sea Foam to heat soak for a minimum of 10 minutes. At this time, Sea Foam will dissolve the varnish deposits that hold carbon together. After allowing the Sea Foam to soak, restart the engine in a WELL VENTILATED AREA as exhaust will be extreme for a short time. Drive aggressively for 2 to 5 miles to allow all the atomized carbon to be safely expelled from the system.
Begin by parking the vehicle in a well ventilated area. Remove the air cleaner cover unit from the carburetor.
Start the engine. For automatic transmissions, keep the car in PARK. For manual transmissions, put the car in neutral and apply the parking brake. SLOWLY POUR 1/3 to ½ can of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the throat of the carburetor, while at the same time revving the engine to about 2000 RPMs. You will begin to see clouds of white exhaust from the tailpipes. When you have finished pouring, turn off the engine and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. This procedure safely cleans carbon gum an dvarnish deposits from pistons and intake valves while providing upper cylinder lubrication. This helps cure spark knock an dpre-ignition and can drastically improve the idle quality, and help prevent engine wear.
Now start the vehicle again. Drive it aggressively (but legally) for about 5 minutes or until the white smoke is no longer being produced.

Performing a Sea Foam Engine Treatment on a Fuel Injected Engine
Begin by parking the vehicle in a well ventilated area. Locate a vacuum line that you are certain DISTRIBUTES EVENLY TO ALL CYLINDERS. On many vehicles the easiest option is taking the vacuum line from your brake booster PCV. (See notes about special situations such as the Vortex or Subaru H style engines.) If you are not certain, contact a certified technician.
Start the engine. For automatic transmissions, keep the car in PARK. For manual transmissions, put the car in neutral and apply the parking brake. SLOWLY POUR 1/3 to ½ can of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the vacuum hose, while at the same time revving the engine to about 2000 RPMs. You will begin to see clouds of white exhaust from the tailpipes. When you have finished pouring, turn off the engine and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
Now start the vehicle again. Drive it aggressively (but legally) for about 2 to 5 miles or until the white smoke is no longer being produced.
To clean the PCV system, add 1½ oz. Sea Foam to each quart of oil. It will slowly re-liquefy old oil varnish residue deposits as you drive.
Possible performance improvements include:
- Increased RPM
- Increased vacuum
- Increased compression
To clean oil rings and lifters, add 1½ oz. Sea Foam to each quart of oil. Sea Foam will slowly re-liquefy the old oil varnish residue that builds up on lifters and rings and prevents them from functioning normally. This process can be done as part of a pre service cleaning by adding the Sea Foam to the oil at least 30 miles before the next oil change interval. OR it can be done as a preventative maintenance process without changing the oil. You can leave Sea Foam in the oil indefinitely as long as the oil is clean. The addition of a high-detergent oil like Sea Foam may cause the oil to become dirty faster than normal as buildup oil residue and contamination are cleaned. Check the oil at regular intervals and when it gets dirty, change it.
To clean fuel injectors and carburetor jets, add 1 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of fuel. It will slowly clean varnish and carbon deposits as you drive.
Performance improvements may include:
- Smoother idle
- restored power and pickup
- Elimination of hesitations
To clean built-up oil residues and contamination from the crank case, add 1½ oz. Sea Foam to each quart of engine oil. Sea Foam will slowly re-liquefy residues and suspend contaminants for easy removal. Change oil and replace filter when dirty.
Diesel Engines
To control moisture buildup in oil, add 1½ oz. Sea Foam to each quart of oil. Sea foam will prevent the white milky film that forms from phase separation of the moisture that accumulates in oil. Moisture evaporates under the heat of the crankcase. Change the oil and filter when it is dirty.
To control moisture buildup, add 2 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of gas oil mix.
To control moisture buildup and gelling in fuel, add 1 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of fuel. Sea Foam will prevent phase separation of the moisture that accumulates in fuel and prevent freezing. Sea Foam can even de-gell frozen diesel fuel by melting ice crystals and dispersing the resulting moisture.
On a regular basis, add one ounce of Sea Foam to your fuel tank for every gallon of diesel fuel. This will remove moisture, clean fuel lines and injector pumps, and add lubricity to your fuel.
To clean built-up oil residues and contamination from the crank case, add 1½ oz. Sea Foam to each quart of engine oil. Sea Foam will slowly re-liquefy residues and suspend contaminants for easy removal. Remember to change oil and filter when they become dirty.
To clean oil rings and lifters, add 1½ oz. Sea Foam to each quart of oil.
Sea Foam will slowly re-liquefy the old oil varnish residue that builds up on lifters, rings and PCV valve systems that prevent them from functioning normally. This process can be done as part of a pre service cleaning by adding the Sea Foam to the oil at least 30 miles before the next oil change interval. OR it can be done as a preventative maintenance process without changing the oil. You can leave Sea Foam in the oil indefinitely as long as the oil is clean. The addition of a high-detergent oil like Sea Foam may cause the oil to become dirty faster than normal as built up oil residue and contamination are cleaned. Check the oil and filter at regular intervals and change when dirty. Results of this procedure may include increased vacuum, RPM's and compression.
To clean and lubricate diesel fuel injectors and pumps, prime the engine’s primary fuel filter with Sea Foam instead of Diesel fuel.
The engine will run on straight Sea Foam. Sea Foam will slowly re-liquefy the old fuel varnish residue deposits that block the fuel injector’s passages. Cleaning these passages will return the injector’s spray patterns to factory spec. Injectors can also be cleaned by adding 1 oz. of sea Foam to each gallon of Diesel fuel.
Begin by removing the cover to expose the fuel filter canister
Remove the fuel filter canister cap
Carefully remove the fuel filter…
Use absorbent towels to soak up any remaining fuel in the canister
Now fill the canister with Sea Foam and replace the fuel filter. Make certain the filter is fully primed with Sea Foam to avoid creating an air lock.
Reattach the canister cover and close up the top of the unit.
Start the engine. The diesel engine can run on pure Sea Foam. As Sea Foam liquefies the varnish and fuel residue in the injectors and cylinders, white clouds of exhaust will be emitted for a few minutes.
To add lubricity to low and ultra low sulfur diesel fuels, add 1 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of fuel. Sea Foam is a 100% petroleum product that will significantly increase the fuel’s lubricating properties.
