Seafoam - available in UK ?

Um, what's seafoam?

a lubricant that doubles as a carbon buildup remover.

Has anyone here used it and what are the opinions / on what age engine used ?

Thanks, Nick

Well, I tried Googling for it, in the .co.uk websites, and found handy things such as ...

"Adrien Arpel Adult Oily Skin Sea Foam Gel Cleanser"

but no diesel engine cleaner with that name. Perhaps it's marketed under a different name in the UK?

I've emailed them in the US asking if it's available in the UK. No response yet but I'll post back as soon/if I get one.

Hi Steve I did that and got a fairly short reply back saying they don't distribute in the UK and don't intend to ! (so there !) so I cant buy it here and if I want some I'll have to get from the States and pay International carriage

Great !

Hi Nick, Guess I got the same response as you. Text as follows:

"We appreciate your interest in Sea Foam products. Currently Sea Foam products are only sold in the United States and Canada. We are sorry to have to tell you that their is currently no place to buy Sea Foam products in the United Kingdom. At this time Sea Foam Sales Company is not currently looking to expand to the United Kingdom, but that does not mean that we will not some time in the future.

Thank you for your interest in Sea Foam products."

email me offline -- I'll go buy it and send it to you as a "gift" to avoid customs...

Personally I'd look at WHY they won't sell ; what laws in the UK prevent them from selling....

Probably the laws of good sense which stop most buying this sort of thing? ;-)

I was just about to say that European drivers fill with clean quality fuel and oil and seldom feel the need to use snake oil or anything else that increases the cost of fuelling above what it is already. Anyhow there are *plenty* of products available already from STP to Stanadyne competing for the limited market.

What? You think cheap old Tesco & Sainsbury fuels are clean?... ;-))))))))

Mind you, I rarely fill up there, myself.

For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling

My local Tesco sells Esso.

'Unfortunately' my nearest larger Tesco does not sell petrol, but there is a Shell station next door....
