Or just Kreem & POR15 etc?
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

Wait.. what I meant was are all fuel additives (like Seafoam or Sta-Bil) bad for tanks that have been lined with Kreem, POR15 etc. I know Seafoam is a no-no but are the others as well? ???

I did a Kreem job on my CB500 tank about 5 years ago.  I use Stabil during the winter season and Marvel Mystery Oil in my fuel.   I have had no problems with the coating at all.  I think that the secret to tank sealant  life is careful preparation during the acid cleaning and solvent rinsing stage.
