Default How do you guys do it??

I have roughly 1/3 can of seafoam, and I cant decide if I should dump it in the gas tank or pour it in the throttle body.

I am leaning more towards throttle body. How do you guys go about doing this? I have heard it's better to use a spray bottle, just pour it in slowly, do it while idling, while revving?

Thanks guys.

i normally pull the brake booster off... pour the seafoam in to a cup... start the truck up and put the booster line in to the cup and rev the engine as you do it let the seafoam stall the engine as it finishes the last little bit

Use the brake booster, but add it slowly. I've heard of guys hydro-locking their Heeps by letting the vacuum suck it all up at once.

^^^^ X2.... Slowly let it be sucked in. Cleaning out the carbon vs. hydrolocking and blowing the motor, hmmmm? I pick administering it SLOWLY into the booster line OR right into the throttle body slowly.
