I used on my 2 stroke Merc outboard, worked realy well I was getting 1 click engine startup's. Didnt have to prime and choke the hell out of the motor any more.
I own a parts store and I saw a guy add 4 cans in his crank case and did not make it 12 miles all the sludge went to the bottom took out the oil pump and BOOM the 302 was done. If u were to add more that 1 can at a time to the crank case I was stay in one place let it run for a while then change the oil before really driving it.. Seafom does work, as an injector cleaner I recomend LUCAS put them in 2 seperate bowls and light them on fire lucas burns a nice blue flame seafom actually blows BLACK soot into the air.
what that probably means is that lucas has more alcohol and seafoam has more "heavy" petroleum distillates. depending on what you're cleaning, the heavy distillates work a lot better. if you want to clean up oil gunk--kero and diesel work great. they also dissolve rubber and plastic!
the 302 incident demonstrates why i always recommend against oil flushes on anything but a new engine. ATF is much safer as it won't pull the sludge out of the bearings.

That guy was nuts - the instructions say to use about 1/3 of a can. I don't know about these engines, but I used Seafoam in my EFI Subaru a couple times a year for about 6-7 years. It got rid of the lifter noise and seemed to keep things cleaned out, never did have any problems with it.
I always put 1/3 can in the oil (about 500 miles before changing the oil), 1/3 in the tank, and 1/3 in the intake.
- Seafoam has doubled in price recently, from 3-4 bucks to over $9.00 a can here in Phoenix, there may be other products more reasonably priced these days.
