Me too. I had a snowblower that would not start - cleaned carb, new gas, new plug, filter etc. Sea foam to the rescue. I have never thought to use it in car engines - makes sense. Will now. Thanks.

Diesel Service treatment every tankful 9 months out of the year. Winter Treatment when the temps get close to freezing. Seems to help keep the high pressure fuel pump lubricated. Also protects against out of season spec diesel fuel from gelling in cold weather...
For the TDi, of course. For my gas motor, just top tier gasoline, no additives. I trust Mobil or Shell to figure it out.

We used Sea Foam in our boat which had an injected 454ci Chevy and 100 gallon tank. We had no problem with stale gas some of which had to be several months old.

Manufacturers don't have to give the exact amount of PEA in their products, but Redline SI-1, Gumout Regane, and Amsoil PI have the highest reported percentage of PEA in them. In my gas cars I use a bottle of Redline Si-1 every 5k miles. |

Re:
I always add a bottle of Gumout All-In-One Fuel System Cleaner to my tank during oil changes... Can't say I notice a difference, but I don't usually have any problems either... I tend to keep my cars 10+ years and I've been doing this since high school auto shop in the '70's.

You might get some benefit from using a fuel injector cleaner but it would be marginal at best if you use top tier gasoline. If your vehicle(s) have direct injection engine(s) I wouldn't bother with fuel injection cleaners. Direct injection systems use higher fuel pressures and that should keep the injectors pretty clean for some time.
Best to talk to your trusted Subi mechanic. |

Owned my '87 Toyota 22RE EFI since new, never used any injector cleaner, never let the gas get stale, always bought the cheapest gas I could find (which usually means its the freshest). Still runs as perfect and clean at 253K as it did when new. I think those cleaners are a gimmick.
