I seen this product at wal-mart the other day. I was buying a can of Sea Foam and noticed this one. Its much cheaper. Same can, lid, and everything. Thought maybe there could be a chance its made by the same company or something. I know that happens a lot. A company makes 3 different bottles to put the same cleaner in and sells each one at a different price. lol. It says it does the same things as Sea Foam. Its just under $3. And Sea Foam was a little under $9. So this product would be great if it was similar or the same as sea foam. I buy sea foam often and throw it in the tanks of the Xj and my Geo metro. Every few tanks. Never the same...just when I get around to buying it. Any thoughts on this? Anyone use it? I do use sea foam through the vacuum line to clean the carbon out. So I would probably still buy it for that. But does this other can work well? Any info would be great.

P.S. I work at a Toyota shop and always take home unused BG fuel cleaners as well. So I use that a good bit. But thats only when I get it for free....

Woops heres the pic...

 

up to you look at this forum

edit: google knows alot of stuff...

 

that stuff cleans very well, every thing disapares.

 

it states on that forum i gave you you cant leave it in the crank case or it might do damage but thats not a big deal

 

I've used it and it seemed less effective at cleaning intake manifold residue vs Seafoam. Also doesn't give that 10 minute smoke show

 

Id spend a lil more $ and use the Z-MAX treatment behind it ,Does oil and fuel

 

Thanks for the info. At least I know it works. I was just hoping that it would work in the gas tank just as well as sea foam. I plan on buying sea foam still for the crank case and vacuum line for the smoke show. But I buy it so often that it would be nice to have a cheaper but effective alternative.

Think its AZ or Advance has Seafoam for 7.99 a can --bought 4 last week for 5.99 at the local guy. His prices are usually high but guess that was a good week.

 

I've used B-12 for over 20 years as a fuel system cleaner everytime I bought a used car. The only downside I've ever seen was if the tank was really varnished up you could clog up a fuel filter with all the crap coming out.

 

Seafoam is Isopropyl Alcohol, Light Oil, and Naphtha. Not all that interesting and I dont see it doing much good...
B12 is Xylene, Hydrocarbon Solvents, Ethyl Benzene, and N-Propanol. This seems like it would be a much better "cleaner" for your fuel system/injectors, but I would also not let it sit for long as pretty much every ingredient will harm rubber. Something you would throw in a 1/4 tank, drive to almost empty, then fill up...

 

Well I am sold on using the B12 now for my fuel cleaner. I drive a lot so I go through my tank of gas in both vehicles quickly. I usually put a bottle in at the pump right before I fill up. I have done that for years on all my cars. Although I bet it would work better with less gas in the tank. I was always concerned that it could do damage if it wasn't mixed with enough gas. Thanks for the info.
