While I am not using SeaFoam or any other additives in the gas, I can relate this story.
My neighbor had a motorhome, 100 gallon gas tank. He filled it and added 2 or 3 bottles of SeaFoam. After 6 months, he went to drive it, no joy. The SeaFoam had settled to the bottom and since the solvents are not volitle enough the engine would not run.
We had to pull the pump from the tank, wash it out with gas and purge the injectors. Then we could fire the engine and then drain the tank.
