Sea Foam = snake oil?
There's a radio show I like to listen to on Saturday mornings. It's an hour of automotive-related talk hosted by a very reputable owner of an independent repair shop. It's been on the air for years and people call in and ask automotive questions and the host or his guests (also automotive professionals) answer.
I was in the car with my wife last Saturday listening to the show as we drove to Costco. A caller was asking about some performance problem with his truck. He mentioned he ran a can of Sea Foam through the gas tank. The host said "when you mentioned Sea Foam, we both rolled our eyes". He went on to say that "Sea Foam is one of those "miracle cures" that people swear will clean your fuel injectors, cure baldness, and just about everything else..." Now he didn't say it wasn't any good, or didn't do what it says it will on the can, he just was making the point that it can't possibly live up to its reputation. I just thought it was interesting because I've never heard it mentioned on the program before.
