Re: [ST] Sooty suggestions?

[Rusty Ford <rford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A note of caution: posters on other lists [Trophy] have warned against 
using Sea Foam as an additive for carb cleaning, as it may eat into 
seals, etc, that were not designed for the very harsh marine 
environment. I have used it for winterizing my 4-stroke boats [FI and 
carb] with good results.

Filling every third tank or so with a fuel bearing the Techron FI 
cleaner keeps my ST and other FI vehicles in good running order. That 
comes in Chevron, Shell, or Exxon, and of course naught but 93 octane. 
53-55 mpg [US] on a regular basis. As always, ymmv!

All that said, my ST _always_ has a sooty tailpipe, but burns no oil and 
starts/runs great.
