SeaFoam Cleaner? Anyone use it on TDI?

[MikeS_18]

Is it necessary for me to drink Diesel Purge, no but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste!

(and it seems to help)

I dunno but it's a poor lubricant. Why dilute your fuel with that.

It's not like dumping everclear into the tank. The amount of alcohol low.

IPA 67-63-0 10.00 - 20.00

10 to 20 Wt % is pretty stiff IPA.

Here's a great thread and document that shows the lubricity of different diesel additives for anyone that needs some light reading .

Seafoam is a waste of money

I made a couple of videos on this subject and basically you are wasting your money buying it. Watch the video and see what I mean.

Seafoam is Naptha, basically....

It's actually quite effective, just not on every type of engine. It's very helpful on carbureted engines.

Pale Ale, Naptha and IPA [not the beer type]

I wouldn't use it as well. What I do is every 7/8K miles I run a Moly Diesel Purge and honestly every time I do it the car performance improve. For $7 bucks every 7/8K miles it is a bargain. My average MPG over the last 6 years is 51.8.

I'm gonna call shenanigans on this one. Unless you can produce 0-60 times that reflect this using a can of DP every 7-8 thousand miles is an absolute waste of money. If its actually improving your performance you need to start getting fuel someplace else because you're buying garbage.

I know what you're feeling, you're feeling "I did something good for my engine". Like the guy I work with who was using Mobil 1 oil and changing it every 2,500 miles. I asked if I could have the old oil to put into my car. He changes it at 7500 now and I still ask for it, works a treat in my lawnmower.

I wouldn't mind an IPAD while doing DP, except I like to drive around the block during the cleaning cycle, if you will.

ATF...I would seriously question it's use as there is warning in the owners manual (AKA book of Achtung!) regarding the catalytic converter.
