Seafoam is some pretty good stuff. I use it mostly for my lawnmower and weedeater. It keeps your fuel fresh and i will add a bottle every three months or so to my vehicles. Give it a shot and try it out on your lawn equipment at least if you are skeptical and base your opinions on what you know and not what you hear.

I guess I have been one of the lucky ones, insomuch as I have never had fuel go "stale" in any of my lawn equipment. (or perhaps I am unlucky insomuch as I have to use said equip. far too often) I do, however, use Sta-bil in all my lawn equipt. fuel cans, so....

Years ago someone tried to sell me on Seafoam. I bought it and used it in 2 of my vehicles, a 99 jeep Cherokee, and a 96 Saturn sl2. both were suffering from what I believe to be poor gas mileage and performance.
Aside from smoking like all hell, and pissing off the neighbors, the seafoam had absolutely ZERO effect on either issue, in either car.
Now, I know the believers will tell me that I did something wrong, or didn't use enough product, blah, blah, blah.
Buy it if you believe, don't buy it if you don't. Simple.
Personally, I feel that good quality fuel, and good quality oil has all the detergents they need, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Maintain your vehicle as you should, and the need for all these "snake oil" products go away.

The problem I have with this statement, even though I would agree with it most of the time, is that Its burns me to see that so many companies are making billions of dollars on products that just simply do not work as advertised, because people are "trying it".
The flipside of it all is that there are so many reviews, and they swing 50/50, basically forcing you to do exactly that. A friend of mine that worked at advance auto told me they can't keep these on the shelves, and they go for $50 there......... http://www.amazon.com/Fuel-Doctor-FD.../dp/B0031BRN2I
