    I use the stuff year round since the company gives the stuff to us and has such large amounts of it. I do see a difference in my fuel mileage by using this stuff all the time. I also carry a one gallon jug of diesel 911 just in case.

    Not a problem. I watch for sea foam to go on sale there also. I buy one of the 16oz cans there and when I change out my fuel filter I pour in the whole can. Cleans the fuel system and injectors really good and that stuff does work. I know I have bought those cans there for 4.99 before and I made the mistake and only bought 3. I bought one can yesterday because the filter in my pickup needs to be changed and I paid 8.99 for it at advance auto.

    You mean you pour in the seafoam right into the fuel filter?
    I used to do that with Lucas but now just usually fill it up with diesel when I change filters...

    Yep right into the filter housing after I change the filter instead of filling it with just diesel.

    12 qts for $87.98 is only $7.33 each. Thats 1/2 the cost of what the Pilot sells it for...and $1.50 less than Farm&Barn.
    Of course 6 half gallons = 12 qts and at $55 a case that's only $4.58 each.
    But unless I get free shipping (or local pickup) its a better deal at Farm I think..

    My brain hurts now. No more math :biggrin_25521:
