Anyone put sea foam in their rides when they store it for the winter?

i've never used it, but my step brother puts some in while he's driving it. but for storage??? i've used sta-bil for storage seems to work good. but i'd only keep the bare minimum of gas in there and add the sta-bil, then when you go to drive it add fresh gas! seems like the gas now days is getting to be poor quality just like everything else

Used on on my boat in spring after running out the bad gas (didn't winterized yes I know that was stupid). Run the tank below 1/8, fill with fuel and sea foam, and it was running like a top after a few more trips across the lake.
It is my intention to use it for storage this fall with the boat also. It is for use in four stroke motors also, including auto use. Based on what I found researching and my limited experience so far, I would recommend it. |

I have used it as a fuel system cleaner, in the tank and down the carb. Seems to work okay. It actually has worked wonders on some of my small engines that don't like the E-10 fuels we have here. I run premium in my Torino though, which is ethanol free for the most part in my area.
For storage, I have always uses Sta-bil and a full tank of gas. The full tank prevents condensation. No issues with bad gas after storage for me.

Small lawn & garden equip. that I had running problems with from improper storage I have used it on, seems to get them running right, without having to major tear down on the carb 8/10 times. I was on a kick of finding discarded mowers & such, till I ran out of room & time to mess with them anymore. Recently my Ranchero started acting up with fuel issues, & I didn't have any on hand, so I bought a rebuilt carb & changed my fuel pump(was bad, carb needed a rebuild for the 2nd time anyway.) I haven't used it as a storage treatment, so I can't review, But I did buy their Trans-Tune & will comment on it once I get the Ranchero back from storage. That has to be done with a flush. No drive and go using it.

We use Sea Foam twice a year in all our EFI engines, Lucas every other tank, and Sta-Bil in everything before storage - cars, trucks, mowers, chipper, chain saws, weedeaters, boat, etc. Run the small engines with the Sta-Bil for a few minutes (to get it throughout the system), then drain the tanks for the winter.
