I think what you have to remember is that anyone can make a Youtube. Youtube doesn’t make it the gospel. We’ve seen some terrible YouTube’s on here the last few months. So take it for what it’s worth.

So I added a can of Seaform and after driving around for awhile it 'unstuck'. Been working fine since. I sure didn't want to pull the sender out of the tank!

Not saying MMO would not have done the same but I always add SeaFoam to full tank in the Model A if I know it will be sitting more than a couple of weeks. Help absorb any moisture in the gasoline.

For what it's worth...

Can you remind us of which "terrible" YouTubes we seen?

I have had good results with MMO. Great preventative maintenance additive for fuel systems, to include fuel quantity potentiometer issues.

Why would anyone want to be reminded of terrible videos? Leave them in peace.

... I say, hoping no one will mention one of my videos.

I recently replaced the head gasket on my Brigs OHV mower, the MMO did a nice job de-carbonizing the piston and head while I had it apart. If I was a You Tuber, I would have posted a terrible video.

I wanted to know which videos did he find "terrible". I remember him saying negitive comments about a video by Paul Shinn, who I consider has some pretty informative and entertaining videos.

I live at Lake of the Ozarks, and for moisture in fuel, most locals recommend Sea Foam in the fuel! For my engine oil, the product is MMO. So far so good!

The worst ones I've seen are fraudsters claiming to have built/purchased phony gadgets that supposedly make hydrogen from water as they drive, thus supposedly getting fantastic gas mileage! True, these jars filled with metal plates, wires and water do make tiny amounts of hydrogen, but not nearly enough to improve fuel mileage. These crooks spout loads of pseudoscientific babble to suck in the unwary.

All I know is, MMO sure worked wonders on the sticking valves in our Flathead Ford. And fuel vapor stalling problems. After using Marvel Mystery Oil and seeing those results I'd never go without it anymore!

Gumout with NEA the same nitrogen cleaner in Shell Vitro Power Nitrogen gasoline 93 Octane, using one or both, does wonders for your fuel injectors on your modern car.
