Curious how many of us use Seafoam in our fuel. Is it good. I have no issues in my 2008 GL1800 but should I use it during the riding season? During winter when I ride much less for storage? If yes, how much?

Honda doesnt recommend fuel additives.
Winter storage, use a non-corn gas.:smile2:

I use it in my 2013, but not as often as I did in my Venture.

Everyone loves Seafoam except me , I bought a bottle once but don’t plan on ever buying it again, I prefer Marvel Mystery Oil.

When storing, use your Owner's Manual as your guide. I believe the path is Owner's Manual > index > storing your m/c > long term storage.

As for adding a fuel additive, no where in your Owner's Manual or a Honda Service Manual does it recommend using one. However, if you do choose too, be sure to run it through the tank. That means have a full tank, add it, and use up the tank. Do not let it sit in your tank.

I would not use any fuel additive on a regular basis. However I have used seafoam on older vehicles to clear up a problem and it worked as advertised. I've been using stabil pr Lucas ethanol treatment when storing vehicles for over 30 years and have not had a fuel related problem since.

Have used it for winter storage for many years in every bike I've owned as well as my JD mower, GMC Motorhome, Ariens snowblower and Homelite chainsaws.

Zero problems.

Ever.

How much and how often do you put in MMO?

I've used it as well, my dad swore by it. It helps keep injectors clean as well as providing lubrication to the injectors and upper cylinders. On my motorcycle, generally a couple ounces in a tank.

Seafoam can says 1 oz. per gallon. My nature is to over do things so I put 2 oz. per gallon rather I ride it all out today or let it sit several weeks or a month. Yea, I know I do not ride enough if I let it sit a month.

 

[Rusty360]

What Fenry said is the same for me. I have used it since the 90's and in boats, Sea Doo's, lawn equipment and motorcycles. Once I started the never had a fuel related issue and I believe for storage it's 2oz per gallon.

I like seafoam just don't over do it. I put a couple of ounces in a tank about once a year or 10-12 thousand miles and run it through. It brought a lawnmower back to life that I thought was dead and ran it till the deck wore out.

Wow! Why do you store vehicles for over 30 years? >

 

[Wild Turkey]

I have put it in gas tank and oil and ran it about 300 miles and then changed the oil and put fresh gas in.

Aloha everyone,

I don't use it regularly, but I do use it to stabilize the non-ethanol gas in the tank when I store my wing in between my trips.
Wing stays in Oklahoma and I live in Hawaii and I do probably 3 trips a year any where from 4 - 6 weeks.

Seafoam and other brand fuel stabilizers added to fuel sit in the tank all winter in the cold climates with no ill effects. Therefore I don't understand; "Do not let it sit in your tank."

Stabil fuel stabilizer and an occasional bottle of seafoam. No problems.

I've used Seafoam in Farmall Cub and Super A tractors, lawn mowers, outboard motors, lawn and power equipment, SeaDoos, SkiDoos, Yamaha / Kawasaki / Suzuki ATVs, and Honda motorcycles - CT75, CB100, VF700C and now GL1800A. I've never had a problem using Seafoam in any concentration.
