I learned about it from a shadetree years ago. It used to be only at napa now you can get it most anywhere. Great stuff.

How does it work? I think I know what your talking about, if so do you use one of the vacuum lines to suck the stuff from the bottle to get the carbon out? I am interested, just hit 100,000 miles. -J

that stuff does work good...havent put it throught a vacuum line but i have run it through the gas before. lucas fuel injector cleaner works good too. ill have to try the sea foam through a vacuum line though.

 

[ratrapp]

it also works wonders if you pour it into the oil to help free stuck lifters.the seafoam trans tune is a good product also.

 

[DirtyD916]

wait. . so what is it and how do you use it.

 

[Look Its Aaron]

Its a liquid that is like an all purpose cleaner. You can put it through a vacuum line and it will clean carbon build up on your valves and in your combustion chamber. You can also run it through the gas tank and its supposed to clean the fuel system.

I'm thinkin I should use some of this stuff soon, sounds like a good product.

After reading this thread I had to try this stuff. Ran it though the vac line and put some in the oil. Man they arnt kidding when they say you'll have "excessive emissions" after sucking it through the vac line. Thick, white smoke just floated over my whole neighborhood I Just sucked it through the brake booster line, only thing is I sucked up too much, about 2/3's of the bottle instead of 1/3, is that going to hurt anything in the engine? I'll let you know how it worked after I get a chance to drive it

::EDIT:: Another thing about the smoke. Its great for spotting exhaust leaks My passenger side header is leaking, that would explain the ticking

 

[siege]

hmmm lots of white smoke eh? dunno if I wanna try it out now, my neighbors complain about every little thing around here

 

[Skoobie]

LOTS of thick white smoke, for several minutes. Do NOT do this in your garage, you will die. I dont have cats so that may explain why I had so much smoke, but still, it was a little embarassing. Good thing all my neighbors like me

 

[siege]

well I was just at autozone buying a new coil so I got some anyway I don't really talk to any of my neighbors so I don't know if they hate me yet or not. definately gonna be embarassing to go on that 'spirited' drive like you're supposed to...is it several minutes as in 3 or sevaral as in 10-15?

 

[Skoobie]

Well I wasent able to do the drive because my front rim is dented and leaking air but I did rev it for several minutes and then let it idle for another 10-15 min. It was still smoking a bit when I shut it down, but again I wasent able to take her for a drive. Remember the smoke screen from that old arcade game Spy Hunter? It'll be a little something like that when you take it for a drive When you do suck in into the vac line be sure to have access to the throttle cable. The car will die if you dont keep the RPM's up. It dosent like to run when liquid is pumped through the vacuum system, go figure

 

[CManT1914]

I guess I will have to pick some up soon.

 

[Skoobie]

Hey at least you HAVE a 100000 mile mark. I only have 88,200 miles on my car...<ahem>

 

[89tang]

I've tried this stuff in my Grand Prix, suppose to clean up the combustion chamber an get rid of some Knock Retard if there's alot of carbon an stuff. It does clean i'll give it that, ate the god damn teflon off the rotors on my supercharger haha.
