Seafoam Substitute

Anyone out there know of a fuel system cleaner available that is similar to Seafoam, Im having a hell of a time finding it. I hear Marvel Mystery Oil maybe a good choice, just what some input before I buy. And what other uses does MMO have. Thanks

Yeah, Bob is right. SeaFoam is a flammable liquid and I don't think it can be shipped internationally. Some guy on the TTORA board was asking the same question. Wonder if it was the same guy?

Thaks MTL_4runner, apparently I didn't search hard enough. Yeah apparently NAPA where I live cannot get it and I have no means of ordering online right now and like Bob said its hard to ship. Well I guess Im gonna go ahead with the MMO, worth a shot I guess. Thanks Again

I use Amsoil Performance Improver Gasoline Additive. One bottle nets 8-16 uses. Of course you need to know an Amsoil dealer or get set up as a preferred customer & buy it direct. Here is a product description:

"Ideal for both fuel injected and carbureted systems. Dissolves and removes fuel system deposits and other contaminants for improved power and overall performance in gasoline engines. Reduces PCV and EGR system deposits. Reduces exhaust emissions (tests show up to 90 percent reduction). Improves engine idle, response and starting.

An initial clean-up dose of six ounces for ten gallons of gasoline restores up to 95 percent of an injector's original fuel flow. Periodic maintenance doses of one ounce for ten gallons of gasoline keep injectors and other fuel system components clean."
