I got a can b;c i had 20$ free from my autozone rewards card. Can i just put the whole bottle in the gas tank with the proper amount of fuel. Or half in the gas tank and half in the crankcase. I just rolled to 200k too so opinions welcome!

Third in the oil, third in the intake and third in the fuel. Theres better directions on there website, than what on the back of the can.

Putting a whole can in the fuel probably isn't good for something.

True lol, so to but it in the intake i use the brake booster vacuum hose or will the web site answer my questions

Put 1/2 or 1/3 in the TB or brake booster line it's the most effective. turn the engine on, pour it very slowly because the engine will hesitate. once you have enough in there turn the engine off and wait about 10 minutes then start it up and prepare for a lot of smoke. and change your oil soon afterward too.

Wont the brake booster line suck it up? okay well besides that it answers my questions.... i think lol. so i think ill but i a third in the tank, crankcase and intake.

i actully just did it today thru my brake booster line. just got it running like it was before the map sensor messed up and man did i smoke out the highway

ive always used it and its always made everything run better.

Topjimmyk

You should change your oil about 30 to 50 miles after you put it in the crankcase.

Topjimmyk

Alright thanks for the advice

Yea ive used it on every car i've owned, half a can in the intake half a can in the crank case. I use lucus in the gas.


wrong, you want to drive AT LEAST 200 miles or it wont do anything.

I've heard of guys warming up the motor, turning it off, unplugging the booster line at the manifold and duct taping a small pvc tube in the vacuum port thats long enough to reach the bottom of the can. You want a tube you can pinch off, so you can control the amount of seafoam going into the motor and also so you can control the vacuum leak you just added. Then start it up. It will idle high, because of vacuum leaks around the duct tape(do the best you can). Put the tube in the can of seafoam and slowly add the seafoam by unclamping or unpinching the tube(it will suck it out). Add a small amount at a time and do it last, so you only have a third to work with. When its all gone, turn it off and let it sit for a while then start it up again. If you do this in the city, the fire department might get called, because it will look like your garage is on fire. Doing it at night/dusk is the safest bet. Doing it when barometric pressure is high helps too, because the smoke will go up, instead of hugging the ground.

Don't drive more than 200-300 mile with seafoam in your oil, its pretty brutal stuff and frees up a lot of dirt into your oil, quick.

i run an entire can through the intake via brake booster line. I use a cap off a spray can to pour it into so i can control the rate it sucks it up. 1/3 can just didn't do it for me.

And i'd be very cautious about leaving it in your crankcase for more than 100 miles.

yeah i **** alot of people off using it esp when i put it in the cougar. **** just wont stop smoking! lol

Here's one way. I gradually poured it in through the throttle body and when I got to a half a can. Dump the rest in till it stalls. Then turn off the ignition and let it sit over night. Next day fire it up and take it for a good burn and don't baby it Drive it hard.

Did that to mine when I started getting signs of carbon build up on the valves. A little pop in the air intake once in awhile is what it was doing.
Ran great after I did this.

Seafoam uses heat as a catalyst, and therefore works only when treating a hot engine.

I don't believe you are supposed to wait more than 10-15 minutes before restarting the vehicle, or it will lose effectiveness and allow deposits to reattach themselves to the cylinder walls.
