Good stuff. I highly recommend it for higher mileage cars.

I think some people over use it. If you dont know what youre doing you could lose a engine.

I agree. Like anything else you can kill it with kindness. My rule of thumb is to wait 7500 miles between any fuel additives, if I need any at all.

Stupid questions:

1) Is it safe to use it just poured into the gas tank?

2) Is having the gas tank near full okay?

1) Yes, adding it to your gas is one of its intended uses.

2) Near full is okay, the directions on the label say to average 1 oz. of Seafoam per gallon of gas.

I agree with the previous comments, be sure not to overuse.

I've got no problem with that however, maybe someone a little closer in the USA to you would be willing so you can save on the shipping costs. Let me know...

Yes I do, but as Honda Hunter inferred, there might be some restrictions. Let me do a little research and see if it's doable...

I live in Canada. Two places I found it around here are Napa and Piston Ring. $14 even after taxes.

Canadian Tire was the first place I called and they didn't even know what is was! You must have a Napa around there.
