same with me. im also afraid of it knocking off a big chunk of carbon deposit. and maybe
clogging an oil passage. OR my oil pan pick up screen.

If you do it right you will not have a problem at all. If you are scared to do it through a vacum line just pour it in your tank.

I use it in every motor I have even lawn mower and show blower. It is a great fuel stabilizer as well.

i used it in both my mustangs and i think it helped out. put it in the pvc line that goes into your intake. use about half a bottle, and have a buddy keep the rpms around 2k. pour it slowly, shut it off for about ten minutes, then start her up and enjoy the smoke show. put the other half of the bottle in your gas tank.

I did it the way it suggests, 1/3 sucked thru vac line, 1/3 in oil, 1/3 in gas tank. definatly some strong stuff, if your worried about clogging fuel pump or oil passage just put 1/3 or 1/2 bottle thru vac lines. next time thats probably what I'll do.

I did it for the first time a couple of months ago. Had no experience other than what was discussed in search threads. Product worked fine for me. I don't really see too much a reason to be scared

I tried it about two months ago and it did as instructed vac line, oil, and fuel tank. Next time I won't go the oil route but it worked very well.
