    I've used both. I don't really have a preference for either one.

    I've used Sea Foam in the vacuum line and it creates a fun smoke show. (Wall of smoke). I'm not sure if it really does anything though or that's just the Sea Foam burning off.

    I've used Lucas in my gas and I actually did feel like the car ran a little smoother while I used that tank of gas. The next tank of gas the car was back to normal.

      I've used it to clean out stuff. no performance boost, but it fixed a few idle issues on a few vehicles.

        There's a generic equivalent at most parts stores, Berryman B-10 or something like that. MUCH cheaper.

          I used it (seafoam) on the escort. No clue if it did anything.

            Berryman is cheaper. Not sure about the "equivalent statement". Believe Berryman has methyl alcohol, I "think" Seafoam uses petroleum distillates but not trying to start an argument. I have used both in an attempt to clean sticking injectors on a Maxima. It took multiple extremely high doses over 6 months time to notice any improvement. Car was a 1999 SE with 200K on it and I probably should have just replaced the injector/s but didn't want to spend the money b/c the daughter was wanting a newer car.

              You are right, I withdraw the equivalent statement. It does seem to clean the 03 intake though and I'm waaaaay too cheap for Seafoam.

                the last bottle I got was like $12. now that's more than $5 (or the $7 that fuel system cleaner costs), but I wouldn't call it expensive.

                              they both are good cleaners , seafoam is stronger and doesn't leave any resadue once its burned ,were lucas and some others do. barryman is decent for the money they make a great cheap throttle body cleaner and its o ring and sensor safe.
