Sea Foam® has been extensively tested and proven to work well in Ethanol blended fuels since they first appeared in the 1990s – even the newest E-85 blend. Ethanol has the effect of stripping the protective layer of motor oil from the cylinder walls, so the addition of Sea Foam® Motor Treatment to your fuel actually helps to combat this drying effect by adding upper cylinder lubrication that helps to prolong the life of your engine and its fuel system components. Additionally, Ethanol can absorb moisture and when ethanol reaches its saturation point can cause what is known as (phase separation) this is when the moisture and ethanol can separate from the gasoline causing drive ability problems and potential engine damage. Sea Foam® can control moisture in fuel caused by condensation by breaking moisture into molecules and dispersing it thought the fuel, if moisture can not pool or collect ethanol can not absorb the moisture and renders the moisture harmless.
