its quite strong stuff and it'll do a good job of cleaning your fuel system, just make sure to have a full tank of gas and use it as the directions instruct, otherwise you could screw something up

I use seafoam in the gas tanks of my vehicles once or twice a year and especially when I've just bought them. Not sure it does much good but I still use it.
I have used seafoam in the oil but was very surprised how thin (and black) the oil was after only driving 5 miles (pre oil change warm up). I would be very cautious about driving very far with seafoam in the crankcase!
I have run seafoam through the brake booster vac line but it is very smokey and I won't do it again. I've read more than a few posts of people having problems after cleaning the intake via the brake booster line.

These two products work awesome but just go in your gas. B12 chemtool available even at wal.mart for less than 3 Dollars and has been around for years. Another is Bg44K that dealerships and some lube and tune shops use its a lot.more expensive but can be found on ebay in bulk...

I've used 44k with great success. It runs kinda expensive, about $20 a can. However, I've seen vehicles that had horrible misses run a tank through with it and it be good as new.

Been using the Berrymans Chemtool B12 for over 20 years. Works great. I usually burn a tank of fuel with it in before I change the plugs. I have also used the B12 straight in a small jar to clean injectors, carb parts and strip paint off chrome parts.
I run the Seafoam in my boat fuel and it's worked good to.

I use it for everything gas powered all year long.
1 oz Seafoam / Gallon Gas for routine storage/use
2 oz Seafoam / Gallon Gas for cleaning purpose
They say you can add it to engine oil, but I have never used it that way. Always in the gas in the tank.
