Here's my recipe for Seafoam.

Near empty tank of gas.
Dump in half a pint can.
Fill with gas.

Ride.

Seafoam is good stuff. I can notice a difference in the way the bike runs with the mix, seems to burn richer.
Bike will run better when you run the Seafoam out and refill with fresh gas.

I am convinced the US gas is of lesser quality than the stuff we get.


I have to agree the fuels are not the same.  Better I am not sure about.  I always get better mileage with US fuel but I don't get any knock on Canadian regular fuel.  So yes they are different but whos is better is a good question.

I don't think many people are aware that Sea-Foam contains IPA (isopropyl alcohol) according to Fuel-testers. If you're already using ethanol "enhanced" gasoline, Sea-Foam adds more alcohol to your fuel. Not the direction most bike owners want to go.

k100 is interesting stuff.  I bought some for when I store the Sprint.  Used seafoam when I stashed the Daytona away for the winter...

Seafoam in high dosages will cause the bike to smoke - will run better once clean gas run through AFTER a tank with seafoam.  I always run a second tank with seafoam when taking the bike out of storage, just, well, because.

It's for moisture absorption like a drygas additive. Sucks the moisture out of your gas and carries it for burn-off. An occasional shot of Seafoam isn't going to
add much to the detrimental effects of ethanol that we're pumping into our gas tanks every fill-up.
