Camp Fuel V/S Sea-Foam???

[KiteSquid]

But what about the camp fuel?? You said you use a half and half mix. The bike will still run with such a high ratio?

 

Only a few ounces of Camp Fuel to a gallon of Gasoline for a deep cleaning.

 

Seafoam says " 2 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of gas oil mix" and sense the Camp Fuel is MUCH more concentrated I would not exceed 2 Oz for maximum cleaning.....

Thank you very much for clearing that up. Much appreciated.

When mine need a major cleaning I will mix Sea-Foam or Camp Fuel with a little fresh gas at about 1/2 to 1/2 ratio. You need about a pint. Then I pull the rear line off the fuel pump. Use something to pinch line so you won't loose what is in tank or use shut-off valve. Most of the shut-off valves on these older bikes are stubborn and easy to break so I use a small set of vise grips. I then take a extra piece of hose hook to fuel pump put other end into the mixture. Start bike and let it run until you are sure carbs are full of mixture. Shut bike off leave sit overnight or little longer hook fuel lines back up and you start bike and run mixture out and hopefully any crud with it.

On a different note, what and how much would you guys use on a 25 gallon fuel tank on my pick-up without damaging the fuel system. I'm like freebird on my scooter, but with a 25 gal tank a small can of seafoam is useless.

I assume it is a Gasoline engine in your truck, so to CLEAN it I would probally put about ten ounces of Camp Fuel in ten gallons of gasoline.... run it till almost gone then fill the truck as normal.

 

OR for super deep cleaning, run it out of gas... put about one quart of camp fuel into a gas can and put about one quart of gas in and shake it up to mix. Put abut one pint of gas into the tank and start the engine. when the fan comes on, put the 50:50 mix in the tank and run the truck... it will probally smoke.... stop the engine when you cant stand it anymore..... let it sit overnight. fill the tank with gas and go for a highway speed run for about an hour.... your fuel systme will be cleaner than new..... I would probally replace the fuel filter before starting this process as you dont want to knock the junk that is already in it into the system....

 

For annual preventative maintacne I would probally use no more than a pint of Camp Fuel for a full tank of gas.
