Sea Foam

:ugh2: Ok guys, you all say how great this stuff is. Well, I got myself a 16oz can yesterday how and what should I do with it? In the tank only? How much should I use? Should I be sniffing it? lol just kidding I'm not about to.

put about 1/3 of it in your vacuum line slowly while the truck is running. then shut it off for about 10 mins. put the rest in the tank. truck will run rough while its going in the vac line. dont worry itll clear up.

I just add 1 can with a full tank of gas every three months or so. Also I add a can to my oil right before i change it and let it run for about 5 min. Some guys will suck a can up through the brake boost hose to clean the intake manifold....but becareful and not let it draw too much to quick because you can bend a rod if you get to much liquid on top of the piston.

So do I need to change the oil after running it through the vacum line? should I use it in the oil, gas, and vacum line all at the same time?

4 guys here did this and bent rods I even told a guy right before he did it not to and he said yup you were right... bent rod... dont put in vacuum line... it may say its ok but dont do it... bent rod is not an easy fix... if you have to do it put it in the gas tank
I have said it a million times, NON COMBUSTABLES DONT COMBUST!!! :lol:

If your intake manifold is so filthy that it needs cleaned, take it off and clean it off the vehicle. A wet nitrous kit spraying through the manifold will clean it up nicely plus give you more power on demand. :thumb:

Hmmm... So I'm not going to put it in the vacuum line. I just want to get rid of this rough idle I have not bend a rod. So what about in the oil? Should I try that? What do I do run it and change the oil after 5 mins? Also how strong of a mix in the tank are you guys running? Thanks for all the help guys!!!

now they tell me.....how do you know if you have a bent rod?

David you should search the forum on seafoam... lots of posts. And to tell if you have a bent rod the truck will either run like ass, this is best case , or it will not even crank over, more likely.
