It would be interesting if "Fuel Testers" wasn't a company selling a competing product.

I would rather see results from a independent source.

+1 - I don't suppose there's any reason for "Fuel Testers" to use a little bias while touting their product, NOT!
I'd file these reports in the same bucket I put the Spamzoil White Papers.

I just got some seafoam. How much do people typically use on a full 3 gallon tank? Any recommendations?

I think most fuel additives are snake oil myself. I just stick to ethanol free fuel. Never had a problem yet with old fuel.

Ethanol free fuel is almost impossible to find in most major US cities due to EPA restrictions.
