If you put seafoam in gas tank do you need to change fuelfitler ?

 

yea change it right after.

 

Hi.

You'll be changing a lot more than just your fool filter if you decide to use this retarded excuse for a cure-in-a-can

Fr'instance:

Lots of dudes & dudettes use this chit, but then again there's one born every minute, so that accounts for a lot of them

" ~Oh, Jbrew..!!~"

Gas goes in your gas tank.
Oil goes in your crankcase.
Air goes in your intake.
Beer goes in your belly.
Nothing else.

Now you have me woried

 

Hi. I'm just getting started .

Keep searching and you'll find a few more actually factual discussions on why it's generally not a good idea to put this (& other) stuff in your internals.

Best decarb treatment is the walnut shell process used by Ford.

Don't use it, & you'll have less to worry about.

There is no cure-all in a container. That kind of thinking I thought went out of favour when guys stopped running around the countryside selling 'magic elixirs' from the back of their horse-drawn wagons ... but apparently not.

Never used it in a car/truck, but it works wonders in 2 stroke boat motors and dirt bikes (especially if you run a castor blend oil). But, for boats and bikes, a can of de-carb works even better.

 

Don't let MeGaDillweed scare yuh - Seafoam's been a great product for allot of people.

Hey bubba you over look something?

Thanks jbrew just did not want anything to go bad to cold to chang filter now

 

a treatment every 30-40k is all u need. one treatment lasts awhile. the 4.6 does seem to burn clean. so ive only used it on cars with more than 80k. cleaned them right out never a problem.

 

If you run it through your tank, do what Keith said - change the filter right after you go thru that tank fuel or ASAP.

 

My cousin is a chevy tech and they used to offer a "3 pack" engine cleaner. It consisted of a butterfly/intake cleaning with carb cleaner, a gas additive, and a product very similar to seafoam sucked in the brake booster line. Chevy did not seem to feel this could damage anything as others here have said. I have also been a big fan of sea foam over the years and used it on probably 6-8 vehicles numerous times on each. Never had a single problem caused by the sea foam and many ran much better after the treatment.

 

I was hopeing to not haft to mess with fitler in the cold dont know if i can get it off and what kind to get?

 

Btt

 

I don't have the numbers in front of me. Motocraft products are choice, on the fuel filter (not oill filter) you can use Fram as well. Fram fuel filters are okay , but as far as oil filters - Motorcraft or Wix.

 

Why would you have to change the fuel filter after using seafoam through the gas tank? The tank is polyethelene or some such plastic and I have never heard of carbon buildup in a gas tank. What exactly is seafoam going to dislodge that will clog the filter or do to otherwise render the filter useless?
