It's flammable, so the cost of getting to Oz is sky high. Bad luck. https://seafoamsales.com/product/sea...fuel-additive/

Re: Sea-Foam
You can substitute ATF for the MMO, should be available in OZ, cheaper than MMO also. FWIW

Re: Sea-Foam
Yeh, no. I wouldn't. Maybe in crankcase just before an oil change but not in gas.

Re: Sea-Foam
I would put the Sea-foam in my Carburetor on my A to clean the carbon, does a good job.

Re: Sea-Foam
Google ingredients for Sea-foam, might want to make it yourself for about .50 a can
BTW checked my local store, they sell it for 7.99 per can Last edited by holdover; 03-02-2020 at 07:24 PM. |

Re: Sea-Foam
I like ATF for sticky guides and softening carbon. During the early days of hydraulic lifters it was used quite a bit.

Re: Sea-Foam
Beater I've also been told over the years by the older guys that a quart of fuel oil or diesel fuel in a ten gallon tank of go juice is good for a Model A too, if you don't have MMO, for upper cylinder lubrication and sticky valves.
Marvel Mystery Oil works really good in our Model A and also the '36 Ford with the later Flattie. It keeps the valves from sticking. Cars definitely start easier and run better with the stuff in the gasoline. |

Have also heard that MMO is good in gas for the Carb Viton float valve model and for the gas shutoff, battles the effects of ethanol gas. |
