Don't forget to pour it in the gas tank.....the vacuum hose method DOES NOT treat the injectors. Always a good idea to pull/clean or replace the spark plugs after the vacuum hose treatment method.

Seacrap - aka motor in a can, magic elixir, snake oil etc.

Look up what it has in it!

If your engine is carboned up, it has problems, fix them, not cover them up like a cat does in the sandbox.

Blindfolds work too.

Mostly light oil and a little bit of Naptha.

Pour some on something - it will put a match out!

Putting it in a vacuum hose too fast can bend a valve just as easy as water can!

Some brag about smoke - it's not carbon from the engine, it's the light oil burning off!
Try adding corn or olive oil - smokes too!

Sorry, but I don't make money with false advertising or selling snake oil.
