Best uses for seafoam
Title says it all pretty much. I have 3 pints of seafoam that i got from work today for a steal i think ($13 and some change), and i want to know what the best uses for these 3 pts would be. i was thinking one in the tank and some in the vacuum system, but if anyone else has ideas let me hear them, and please dont bash the foam im gonna use it PERIOD. i know there is a lot of controversy over this product so as your mom always said "IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY THEN DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!"
thank you all in advice for your HELPFUL advice

Im not 100% sure on that but from what i have read on other threads on here is you go through the brake booster, but idk if mine is defferent because it is a RENIX. so i guess hopefully some one will chime in and let us both know for certain

your not going to find a broken line with seafoam. If you suck it up through a vacuum line its going to take the shortest path to the vacuum source, the engine. leaving all the other lines untouched. but regardless. seafoam is great for sucking up it will clean out junk in the engine, you can put it in the oil or the gas. they have instructions on the can and their website. Idk what else to use it for tho

Id say run some in your tank to clean fuel lines and injectors, and some in your oil to since its an oil product to clean motor oil sludge and stuff, and as far as carbon buildup, I've found tap water to work better.

I ran a can through the gas tank and around half a can through the brake boost vacuum line. Smoked like crazy, planning to do again in another week or so...

If you run it in the crankcase , do so for a very short amount of time, and then change your oil.
I put it in the oil once a year for 200mi and that's it.
I put it in the gas throughout the year.
