I'm a noob so forgive me. Did you just put the seafoam in your gas tank? I really don't know how to take out injectors, but would just putting it in the tank work ok? I usually use STP injector cleaner . How does this new stuff compare?
Thanks

I've tried all the other regular stuff before, but seafoam seams to work much better at getting rid of carbon deposits - the thing you want to remove in the first place from your engine. As long as you don't have any engine running issues right now, it would be good enough to just throw in a can of this stuff per 5 gallons of gas... so about 1 and a half cans will do it for a tank. Try to drive a lot of freeway - this works best since the engine is hot and will more likely burn off the accumulated carbon.

hehe i always thought those solutions don't work. does the seafoam cost more compared to other popular brands? I never really did pay attention to those so i don't know. I should look into it. btw- thanx for sharing your experience!

MMO is not a peice of crap, it is actually very useful in it's own niche.

5cc = 5ml = 1 teaspoonful
15cc = 1 tablespoonful

Hey guys, I found this in one of the forums (this is part of a long discussion) and had some questions about how to inject the seafoam in the car.

“….could also get some Seafoam Cleaner for your Throttle Body. Its easiest found @ NAPA. Its in a tin can, and the can is white. its called deep clean or something. You just take this, and with one of the vacuum hoses that you took off when you put in the CAI, just put the hose back on, and you get the car up to normal temps, and just suck a little through the hose(cuttin the tip of the hose is the easiest way to do this, like @ 45 deg. angle. ) And you should suck up about 1/3 of the bottle. then just put the hose all the way in, and it will stall out. wait for at least 5 min. to let it soak in. Start it back up, and it may take a couple trys, and just let it sit and smoke all the shit out the exgaust. make sure you are outside when you do this, it will smoke for a while. “


where do I find this hose the he talks about and is my car going to shot off my itself.


I did this on my 4g, and it ran ALOT smoother
