I did not know about the poison ivy cure. LOL
I did buy several bottles and run it through all my 2 cycle small equipment fuel at my landscape company. Seems to have improved performance and cleaned up throttle issues.

I use Marvel's Mystery Oil in near everything. What does this stuff do differently?

Search. I use a shot in the engine oil on noisy engines and it seems to make a difference.

I added SeaFoam to the gas on my DD Contour after I bought it and it cleaned up the cylinders nicely. When I rebuilt another Contour for my daughter I added Marvel's Mystery Oil to soak the carbon out of the cylinders before I rebuilt it and it also worked great. My non-functional Jeep 4.0 will get SeaFoam once it gets running.

Does Seafoam do the same thing as Techron and Amsoil's product?

Its more volatile so it does it on a larger scale.

Seafoam is a step up from techron, and BG44K is a step up from seafoam.

There is no mechanic in a can so dont hope for miracles. But it may aid in cleaning up minor carbon deposits.

Thanks for this. My reason for asking is to combat the ill effects of all the ethanol being added to the fuel these days, otherwise my TJ is running fine.
