where to put seafoam?
i just bought a can of seafoam today and apparently, it says on the bottle that it can be put into the oil, gas, or the intake. Since all 3 of these have to do with different thing, would it be a good idea for me to put it in all 3 of these to get the maximum advantage or should i just stick with the basic intake method to clean intake and such...
thanks
thanks

no ur supposed to put it in the intake mani. Remove one of the little (i mean very little like 3 or 4 mm in diameter) air inlets that go to the intake, and with the car running slowly poor it into the hole, use a 3rd of the bottle. If u pour it in your gas you'll be smoking down the street for the whole tank.

i did it in the crank, the tank, and the intake and it really does help. i do it every 6 months or so. im due for a lil tune up come spring time and will be doing the seafoam thing again.
i also did the seafoam thing through the tube which connects to the brake canister. i had a cup of seafoam and let it suck it slowly while pulling on the throttle. my car was smoking like a sun of a bish. i forgot what is the name of the tube but im sure someone else can name where else to put the sea foam in.

Putting it in your gas tank will not make the car smoke at all. Running it through your intake will.
When using this stuff through your intake manifoldremember, pour it very, very slowly.

i did not know u were supposed to put it in the tank too... I guess i'll do that with the rest of the can and see how it feels.

I put a can of it in my gas tank, and had no problems with smoke or anything related to that. As far as changing the fuel filter, I had just replaced the fuel filter prior to using seafoam, so unless something goes wrong with the new one, i dont plan on putting another one on there until its due. I can't say that I drastically saw any change in my fuel efficiency though.
