I get the Gallon size at Menards for $50 - it makes 8 16oz bottles brings it down to 6.25 each. I use it on trips in the gas & then in the oil occasionally 300miles b4 oil changes for a bit more cleaning. The Air intake manifold technique is good too

Can you provide a little clarity on the gas and oil? I'm not familiar with this product.

So there is a liquid pour version, which I use, that is comparable to stabil if not better. It seems that this product is an aerosolized version that can be sprayed into throttle bodies, carburetors, etc to get everywhere and not just in the fuel as a stabilizing agent.

I'll chime in with my experiences... had a stubborn 2-stroke outboard that wouldn't start without tons of choke, dancing around with the throttle, a proper cursing routine, etc...I ran a high concentrate mixture of this and new fuel through the motor, let it sit for a bit, then fired it up.Smoked like a banshee for awhile, but the motor began starting right up again.
Had an old CJ-7, same deal... poured some in the intake, let it sit a few minutes... smoked like crazy for like 15 minutes, then started up on the first crank again.Not sure how it works for injectors, but it's a damn near must have for anyone dealing with carburetors.
Not sure why there isn't a space after my punctuation, but I'm not about to try and fix it in this tiny window I'm getting, sorry.
after sitting for a bit my bike would die down when i'd be riding and twist the twist the throttle hard. it was the main jet that was clogged. i was getting ready and dreading a carburetor tear down.
instead i ran the bike dry of gas, took a bottle of sea foam and poured it into the tank. i fired the bike up and let the sea foam get in there. I took the bike out and it died again on open throttle.
i pulled the spark plug wires and cranked the motor to let the sea foam get into the carb and cylinders without being combusted, let it sit overnight and came back the next day to start it up. I got a big cloud of white smoke... and after that the bike ran perfect!

Wish we had a Menards and Microcenter where I am at. We miss out on a ton of good deals it seems.

Sure, Gas treatment is an oz per gallon - I put a bottle in at fill ups on longer trips 1) Key working benefit is long working time on hot engine to clean front side of valves and Fuel injectors. 2) less frequently, 300miles b4 oil change, i will put, an oz /quart of oil 5ozs for most cars, of Seafoam in the oil (be carful not to over fill- a little over for 300 miles isnt too bad) This will clean the back side of the engine valves, cylinders, & crank - look at color of the oil b4 and after to see your progress... Often my oil will be murky b4 & black after.

They are not fancy but menards & microcenter are the best - Merchandise can be cheap Chinese crap - but not like Harbor Freight which is all from China. So you have to know what your looking for & the quality variations. I dont rely on either for true information other than price.

Even at $7.80 many will not buy
So keep an eye on it and check back in a couple weeks/next month for next drop.
