No. SeaFoam is mainly for gas engines, not diesels.
It's best to use PowerService (White or gray bottles) to put in the tank and Diesel Purge for use directly on the engine. Last edited by ForcedInduction; 07-25-2007 at 08:48 PM. |

It says it right on the bottle that you can use it in your diesel. I use it for years with no ill effects. I even fill up the fuel filter after a filter change to clean the injectors.

Agreed, I don't know how it can hurt.

Just don't go and dump it down the the intake unless you want to clean your banjo bolt via run away diesel I have used it like diesel purge added it to fuel, tranny and crank case in my first 83 SD. Purge worked a little, the rest was unremarkable.

Howes is a coalescer (vs dispersant) I'd run a water trap with it (like the truckers do).

Seafoam in the tank has worked pretty well for me. Purging the system with LubriMolly has worked better. Thank You RichC .

Ummm, nope again
How to Use SEA FOAM MOTOR TREATMENT In Tune-Up of Diesel Engines 1. Fill primary fuel filter with SEA FOAM. Be sure filter is fully primed to prevent air locks. This will clean injectors quickly. 2. Use 1 pint of SEA FOAM to every 25 gallons of diesel fuel to add lubricity, clean fuel lines, injector pump and remove moisture. 3. Use 1 pint of SEA FOAM to every 4 gallons of oil to clean rings and other engine parts internally. For best results, use SEA FOAM for 1 hour before oil change. Results in cleaner engines and longer oil change intervals. Check it out here... http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUpTechDiesel.htm Thank You RichC .

I just did a purge with Sea Foam. I like their products and they work as advertised. I especially like the transmission version of Seafoam. You can put it in the tank if you wish. But I think it is more effective as a injector cleaner (ala purge).

Of course they will say it's perfect for EVERYTHING., how else are they going to sell as much of it as possible?
Leave the seafoam for the g@ssers. |
