Hmmm yep, I think we lost that link in the big conversion last month.

If you can find the MAF thread, or just a good MAF thread here https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/search ... Search#957 let me know which and I'll fix that Repair Database link with it.

Matt I spent some time trying to find the post but can't. I also found that the link to the Oil sump o-ring replacement is missing. I searched for quite awhile but can't seem to find how to locate old posts. I also posted this particular problem in ...
https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... 8&start=10
...at the bottom. As you can see I can pull up the original introduction to the repair procedure, but for whatever reason, it won't bring up the original post. :cry: I tried.

And here's another post where it seems what I pasted in has been lost...
https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... &sk=t&sd=a
I had posted the technical bulletins to this thread and now they seem to have been lost.

Matt, do you want me to re-post them to that specific thread or should it be a brand new one?

Everything that I click in the repair database directs me to the forums menu. I was looking for a specific post that was in the repair database and couldn't link to it. I used the search engine and found it so everything is still there - it is just not linking correctly.

When you say PM you the post... do you mean send you the three saved documents?... I'm not as literate computerally as I am about other things... Or do you mean for me to cut and past them into a message to you?

Ozark Lee: fixed. I made a change a day ago that caused that. :oops:

Max: PM = Private Message, but why don't you just attach them to a post in this thread, and I'll get/fix them.

Sea Foam Amounts in Fuel

4 Cycle Type Engines
Diesel
Rotary (Wankel)
2 Cycle type Engines

Sea Foam Products recommends an average of 1 ounce Sea Foam Motor Treatment to each gallon of Gasoline (including 5%, 10%, 12% & 15% Ethanol) and Diesel fuel, including (off road low sulfur) & Ultra Low Sulfur blends.

With any vehicle or system using E-85 fuel, use 2 ounces Sea foam per gallon of the fuel.

For Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel blends, Sea Foam recommends a MINIMUM of 1 ounce Sea Foam Motor Treatment per gallon of the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel. Using more Sea Foam adds more Lubricity.


Parameters are: 1 – 16 ounce can of Sea Foam Motor Treatment to a MINIMUM of 8 gallons of fuel, Maximum 25 gallons fuel to a 16 ounce can for maintenance. Follow the instructions above for OIL INJECTED engines also. (NO Sea Foam Motor Treatment ever goes into the oil reserve tank for oil injection engines!).


***For all gas/oil mixed fuels (2 cycle) use 2 ounces Sea Foam per gallon of the mix. If your fuel is E-85, use 3 ounces per gallon of the E-85 and oil mix.


Sea Foam Motor Treatment is blended OIL, and will not run a gasoline, Gas/oil mix or Ethanol engine without introducing HYDROCARBONS (gasoline or gas/ethanol blend) .


Fuel injector cleaning machines in a controlled environment use Sea Foam Motor Treatment as their safe Cleaning agent mixed with gasoline or ethanol blend at a ratio of 50 to 60% Gasoline/Ethanol blend PLUS 40 to 50% Sea Foam Motor Treatment.
