SeaFoam - yes or no

[David Pertuz]

You're right - it's easy-peasy, so I might as well.

I've been aware, in the back of my head, of Jim's point about the gas tank.
I'd really rather not have to drop the tank and have it cleaned, at least
not yet. When I drop the engine again maybe I will do that. I'm kinda
crossing my fingers that new gas, injector cleaning, and a new filter(s)
will take care of it.
