One of the reasons it is good for that is that a lab analysis showed it was basically a nail polish remover........

I read Porsche actually recommends Chevron's Textron product once a year in a full tank of gas.

I put a 12 gallon Techron booster in twice annually. Additionally my indy shop includes a cleaning agent (I forget the name of it, but it is was described to me as a much more concentrated version of Techron) with major and minor services (15k and 30k intervals) to deal with hydrocarbon buildup.

I don't know when you should bother with something like seafoaming.

Just like any additive, read the instructions. I have used SeaFoam as a gas treatment, 8oz to a full tank of gas. No problems at all.

That's one way to Seafoam a car there are more exciting ways. Look up seafoaming on youtube.
