Seafoam question

[CycleJay]

Hi guys,

I have a fairly simple question.

I would not think doing this would cause any damage or problems.
But I wanted to ask anyway.

About a month ago when I last changed my oil, I added a quart or two of the Lucas oil additive,
and since then I have had better acceleration, etc. whatever you usually get from doing that.

Now, I would like to add a can of seafoam to my fuel tank, for the benefits I can get from doing that.

Would it cause any harm or damage to have that Lucas running through the oil system and Seafoam running through the fuel system?

That is all, Thank you..

I run Seafoam in my CUCV on a regular basis. It's the only thing that seems to keep the injectors happy and free from sticking. I've apparently found the dis advantage to owning a truck that sat in de-humidified storage for most of it's life. I'll get the injectors rebuilt soon though.

I run seafoam in my van (gasoline) and haven't had any trouble. I put it in the crankcase before an oil change and once in a while in the gas tank. I put two cans in the deuce and drove it to help clean it a little before it's oil change. I've never heard of anyone having a problem.

I've run Seafoam in the fuel tank, and once in the crankcase before an oil change. The truck seems run better after adding it to the fuel, but the 2-cycle oil makes the most difference in the sound of the engine. I could not believe the amount of goop that came out when I changed the oil after the Seafoam treatment!

Lucas is in my humble opinion one of the best products on the market. Seafoam never made much of a difference to me. I do use a diesel fuel injector cleaner and octane boost combination by Lucas that really seems to do the trick.

I use ATF to clean the injectors and such, and a quart to the tank when I fill up.
Learned it from a old time diesel wrench who rebuilt engines. YMMV

I've added it to the spin on fuel filter and ran it through that way with no problems. I'll have to give the lucas stuff a try. I've been using the trans fluid truck for years too, adding it to the fuel or filling the filter with it to run it through.

I add Lucas motor oil additive to my engine oil, and it seems the engine runs quieter. I am confident that with the Lucas engine oil I am not in so much danger of dry starts, Especially with turbo bearings. I also add Lucas Hub oil to my differentials, transfer case, and transmission. I do notice the transmission shifts smoother.

I use Seafoam or amsoil Diesel Fuel Additive Concentrate on every fill up.

I only use amsoil OE 15W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil .

lucas oil treatment is good stuff!i stand behind it 100% especially when i over revved the big iron to 12k and it stayed together!

Hi guys.. Thanks for the information. I get that Lucas is good and Seafoam is good. But both together in the same vehicle should be okay too then? Good day...

Sounds like you should be fine CJ. I am going to try the sea foam in my tank as I started running WMO in the Deuce..

 

[tigger]

I run it all the time with no problems.

Hello Guys,

Thanks for the extra information. That is all I wanted to know. I would not think running them together in the same vehicle would do any harm.
Especially since one would go into the oil and the other would go into the fuel.

Just my $0.02 cents...

Good day...

From my experience, Snake oil out performs all of them

JK, seafoam is good stuff..hard for me to justify more additives when 1/3 of every quart of oil is already various additives....School me if Im wrong.
