LOST JEEPS :: View topic - Anyone add a can of Sea Foam to a CRD tank of Diesel?

Ashless 2-stroke motor oil is excellent lubricant, and is formulated for combustion chamber service, so makes an excellent ULSD Diesel fuel lubricity-improver - plus, there is lots more btu in a quart of 20wt motor oil than in a quart of petroleum naphtha diluent

Don't even let Homeland Security and BATF&E get wind of that proposed enterprise, or you'll attain not-enviable classification status commensurate with Tim McVey, Ted Kazinski, and associates

Naw, Ive had a program called Smileyextra for a while but forgot that I had it. It's a free download but only works on Ubuntu OS or other Linux OS.

The stuff did wonders for my buddies outboard. I know way diffrent motor. The back of the can says it is good for diesels. What do you say forum folks?

My father throws 1 can in his main tank(40gal) and 3 in the AUX tank(160gal) in his '01 Ford SD at every fillup,has been doing that for the last 600,000miles and no problems.

Works great on all diesels. I use a can before each oil change.

I use it for every fuel filter change (once a year). Fill the filter with it and crank it up. Smokes like crazy for some time but doesn't seem to hurt anything. I also do the same in my 3 diesel tractors.

Seafoam is compounded of ~50% light oil, good for lubricity, ~30% petroleum naphtha, good for improving octane (and decreasing cetane), and ~20% isopropyl alchohol, good for absorbing water and carrying it thru into the vhp 20,000psi common rail injection pump, where, at those pressures, water will cut scraches and grooves into the precision plungers, and not even to mention the injectors - I wouldn't even want to do a close drive-by to an open container-full of that stuff, much less stop and pour some into my CRD fuel tank - but, that's just me.................. FYI - Diesel fuel additives use Vinyl acetate ~0.3%, Ethylbenzene ~8.0%, Xylene (of mixed isomers) ~4.00% to improve cetane rating, which improves heat-ignition and burn of the light oil we know and love as Diesel fuel Ashless 2-stroke motor oil is excellent lubricant, and is formulated for combustion chamber service, so makes an excellent ULSD Diesel fuel lubricity-improver - plus, there is lots more btu in a quart of 20wt motor oil than in a quart of petroleum naphtha diluent

Good to know what is in it. Now I can make my own.

I'm mixing about 8oz PowerService w/ about 8 oz 2 cycle per tank. I have added 1/2 a bottle seafoam to my motor oil 10 mi prior to oil change didn't see any harm done. Been afraid to add it to the tank though.

I use 8 + 8 in my ~40gal GMC and Dodge tanks - half that in the 20gal KJ tank

Is it okay if i add the Stihl 2 stroke oil i use in my chainsaw, thats apparantly semi synthetic but burns clean, low ash perhaps.

Or, dark humor.................... Ashless 2-stroke oil is good - synthetic is good - non-ashless is chock full of sulphur, which can fail State\Federal compliant DMV vehicle inspections, and destroys catalysts in those vehicles with a true catalytic converter - ours is an *oxidation, or oxidizing* catalyst converter, uses air and high EGT's to cremate the soot into harmless(?) ash, a known carcinogen - that was the end purpose of going to ULSD fuel, so all engines could contribute to the precious-metal catalyst manufacturers, a protected-group consortium that contributes heavily to certain politic(ians)al interests - FYI: those catalysts turn gasoline-combustion byproducts into equally-harmless(?) sulphuric acid (with it's singular odor of poop), thus the peeling paint on the front-ends and roofs of street-driven vehicles (and the resultant arguments amongst passengers in those self-same vehicles, as to who is the culprit responsible for that offensive odor!), and the prime reason for moving to latex-based paints with clear-coat finishes, and plated plastic grilles, bumpers, and bling trim items: mostly impervious to sulhpuric acid blown onto your vehicle by the vehicle(s) in front of you - prior to federally-mandated ULSD distribution and retail-station conversion in 2006, the sulphur in standard Diesel fuel would immediately destroy any mineral\chemical\platinum catalyst, supposing, of course, any Diesel-vehicle manufacturer actually equipped those vehicles with those catalysts - remember, an oxidizing converter uses O2 as the catalyst, as does your own body, and Diesel engines are noted for pumping way more O2 than they actually need - O2, a universally available, continually replenishable, mostly free gas.......er, catalyst - don't leave home without it................... p.s. Almost fergot: Catalyst - 1 : a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate or under different conditions (as at a lower temperature) than otherwise possible 2 : an agent that provokes or speeds significant change or action
