Default SeaFoam

The instructions say:

With warm engine running, SLOWLY poor 1/2 pint through carburator, throttle body or direct manifold vacuum line that will feed ALL CYLINDERS. Possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. Be sure exhaust is well ventilated. Fumes will be extreme for a short period of time.
So can I just open up my air lid and pour it down the intake? Like the red arrow shows in this picture.

The sea foam site suggests doing both and also adding it to the oil.

I'd recommend sucking it out of the can with a vacuum line. Pouring it would be a wee bit difficult to control.

Ok, you are all wrong, well I guess your all right too...

Poor an entire bottle into your full gas tank.
Poor half a bottle into your brake boost line.
Poor another half bottle into your oil.
And spray the deep creaper into your TB.

Here is instructions on how to do everything. read them very carfully & good luck.

One other note is...make sure you have the ventilation. It will smoke like you wouldn't believe. Would almost seem the car is burning up. It does make a difference and enjoy .

It will work. In the fuel tank, is more for cleaning out the injectors. Doesn't make that much of a difference. Sucking it into your engine via a vacuum line will make it smoke like crazy, and yes it gets rid of carbon buildup.

You would have to put a lot in your gas to see your car smoke. Run it through a vacuum line to watch it make clouds.
