Seafoam
Currently before I bought my 04 F350 SD diesel, I had a gasser were at times I would use the Seafoam product to clean the injectors and all. Currently since I have my diesel, I only use Diesel Kleen for the truck and working on getting some Rev-X which I've seen through previous post that it helps in the oil and clean the engine. I was looking at the Seafoam and wondering if anyone uses it for there diesels and how well it works. Right now I plan on use the diesel kleen for filling the truck up and possibly use rev-x for the oil once I can get some.

I was thinking of using in my 6.0 but right now I'm keeping with Diesel Kleen and when I start using Rev-X keep things going.

Exactly why I don't use it in my truck.

I too have used SeaFoam in my 6.0. In the fuel no problem....used it to eliminate a 'striction prob too. As Kert above says, I put it in the oil a day or two before I was going to change it. I ran it in the fuel for a full tankful. Always use DS too.
I have a can of the SeaFoam sitting on the shelf just in case.

Like Pappy47 I have used Seafoam in everything. Diesel and gas, 2 and 4 cycle equiupment including my go fast boat. It is a great fuel stabilizer. I keep 100 gallons of gas in my go fast boat during the winter, just for emergency purposes, and I treat it with 4 cans of Seafoam.
Seafoam is 50% pale oil, 30% naphtha and 20% Isopropel Alcohol. Here is the link to the MSDS sheet: Sea Foam | MSDS
I doubt that 6.4 oz. of IPA in 2 cans of Seafoam will ruin a 6.0 with 416 oz. of motor oil. If that be the case, mine would have been dead a long time ago.
Also, like Pappy47, I have no dog in the fight; just providing information and telling my experiences.

I change my oil every 10,000 to 12,000 miles and when I change the oil I add in 2 cans of Seafoam. Then about 100 miles before I change the oil, I add another can. Have 104,000 miles on the X and never had a turbo or injector problem. I also put 2 cans in when I do a 44 gallon fill up on the X. Most of the time I just put in the correct amount based on the amount of diesel fuel I get.

I use it at different times on all of my gasoline powered stuff, but have never done it on my diesel. I may try putting a can in before my next oil change.
I'd use it a lot more for various things it if wasn't so expensive!!
