So, SeaFoam works to extend gas lifetime? Have you had trouble with
ethanol gas? I mean, what kinds of trouble have you had?



I've seen this:

Strange, wot? I've never seen anything like it in anything I've
rebuilt, and the count has to be over 50 through the years. Thin
slime from water/algae buildup in long-stored vehicles was the worst I
ran into.


I saw this jelled crap in the carbs of a Kaw 250 Ninja . Comes from
ethanol laced gas but i don't know why it does that other than age .
