Seafoam Q's
 

Has anyone ever used Seafoam for things OTHER THAN TB cleaning?? it can also be put into the engine oil, fuel tank, etc.... has anyone tried it??

I have heard good stuff about this product, I've never used it and prolly won't until I find thorough step by step instructions on the correct way to use it.

they claim u can use it as a fuel additive and plenny other cleaners...but at that price...u mite as well get a cheaper additive that prolly works just as well

such as??

Before changing the oil I used on crankcase 1/3 of bottle .. ran the engine for 7 min or so.. Also 1/3 of bottle to full tank of gas. No problem what so ever!

if i add it to the fuel tank, i do that after the oil change rite? kinda like those STP injector cleaners?? :confused:

also, any change in performance?? better idle, better mpg??

i puthe stuff in my tank, crankcase, and in through the throttle body. Its works pretty wekll. have someone stand by your exhaust and youll ssee lots of crap come out the exhaust. aka black smoke.

Pour 1/3 into your crankcase as if adding oil.
Pour 1/3 in the gas tank.
Pour 1/3 into the pcv valve with the engine on and running.
When all seafoam has been fed into pcv valve, turn engine off for 5 min.
Turn engine back on, and rev the engine up and let it come back down and keep going until all the smoke clears. Then go driving HARD for like a block or two, reset ecu, change oil, done.

i understand everything except the pour 1/3 into the gas tank.... do i do that before or after the oil change?? will it act as an injector cleaner then??

Yeah, im running that stuff through my gastank right now. Already swapped the oil, really cleaned out the crap built up on my rockers/valves on my civic beater. If you are gonna use it in the gastank, as an additive, you want at least 8 gallons in your car. Even though the bottle says a gallon per howevermany ounces, trust me. It spiked my octane so high, i had a hard time keeping the engine running. Once i filled the remainder of the tank, problem vanished. Tho, now, my car is running really, REALLY rich. That stuff rocks as a cleaner. Its really helping my injectors/pcv system.

I havent run it through the TB yet, as my vacuum hoses dont wanna come off (it is a neglected beater, after all). So, either ill have to replace my main vacuum lines to my brake booster, or not use it. I need to run it through the IM, because its friggin hairy in there. Its nasty.

Hope that helps.

BTW: if you put it in your crankcase, i ran it for about 10 miles before changing the oil. After that, CHECK YOUR SPARK PLUGS. Luckily, i had some carbon build up on 2 of em, but it was cleanable. You dont wanna get stuck, after all
