Is it possible to mix/make your own Sea Foam or Mystery oil from the MSDSs?
Sea Foam MSDS says:
Pale Oil 40-60%
Naphtha 25-35%
IPA 10-20%
I assume IPA is Isopropyl Alcohol. But with the amount of ethanol in gasoline (10+%), is there a need for IPA? IPA may have a different length carbon chain than Ethanol and may be there to bond with any water in the tank.
MMO MSDS says:
Naphthenic Hydrocarbons 70-80%
Mineral Spirits 20-30%
Chlorinated Hydrocarbons 0-1%
It seems possible that the Chlorinated Hydrocarbons could turn into HCl when in contact with heat and water in the engine, so CH can be eliminated. Unless you want to add it to help deplete the motor oil's ad pack.
