It's made by lube control. I run both the FP60 for gas and the LC20 for oil. I don't remember the exact mix but it's about one ounce for five gallons of gas. I'd have to look at the label again. I just run down to almost empty and put in about 3 oz.

Supposed to clean the junk out, but some say it can plug up the cats. Now that I think about it I did have the cat go bad on my LT1 about 2 months after using it. It was a 95 so it didn't need it anyway.

If used properly, it won't effect cats.

Well....I'll chime in......
Todays gasoline is very "dry" and will result in failure of seals/gaskets/pump...yes after 100K but nevertheless you will see a drop in fuel pressure or a erratic injector firing much sooner........not really noticeable from the butt dyno....but it is there........So much snake oil out there so be careful.....I use Lucas UCL ( Upper Cylinder Lube) religiously....the Fuel Power 60 is also very good.....both require 1 oz per 5 gallons of gasoline.....they both do a very good job of lubricating your fuel pump/keeping carbon out of your combustion chamber/top of your piston/keeping condensation out of your fuel and your injectors operating at peak performance....for pennies per fill up....if you want a one time maintenance every 3 or 4 thousand miles....I recommend Techron to keep your fuel system in top shape......SeaFoam is good.....does the job....smokes like hell....but Techron does just as good of a job for your fuel system as Seafoam with much less "smoke clouds"

i ran seafoam through my DD volvo when it had 200k on it, man it was like James Bond's smoke screen, kept doing cycles of it and it eventually stopped smoking, goes to show ya how much build up there was
