thank you... i cant say im a new member anymore.... I just didnt think of searching seafoam on here... and i never seen a topic like that...

in that case... I will look for highest octane fuel and replace fuel filter and fill up the tank with high octane....im thinking shell since they advertise there cleaning system in the fuel.

Agree on not using Seafoam, MD referenced two threads with a few of my previous posts on it. Last vehicle I used it or anything like it on was an early fifties Chev straight six, from memory. Possibly also an early sixties Dodge slant six that had been parked for a long time.

OP, don't confuse high octane/AKI with high quality fuel. They are two different things. There are high octane fuels that are low quality with insufficent detergents, and vice versa. Use a name brand fuel, 92 AKI if that is what you prefer. In your case I suggest adding a bottle (one, not more) of Chevron Techron to the fuel tank. It is a relatively safe fuel additive. Adding it isn't as good as using a better quality fuel up front, but given where you are now, it is a reasonable next step.
