ATTN: Bear River: converter question...

Saw your company link at your last post...What is the result to converter if you "fog" an engine, IE, spray 'seafoam' into engine while running, to prepare it for an extended storage, like boat owners may do?
TIA, marty

I recommend it. It won't hurt the converter, but it can fix problems caused by carbon build up which could harm the converter. So cleaning the engine with a product such as seafoam is actually a very good procedure which can help maximize the life of the converter. Doing so to prepare for extended storage is not really needed in a car in my opinion however. The vehicle should store just fine without it.

That stuff will not unplug a clogged cat, it is intended to clean the engine. Your cat was beyond help Pablo.
