seafoamed me el carro

wannabeimportkiller · September 2nd, 2007, 12:28 PM

sooo i did that just like 15 minutes ago, put half of it in the pcv valve and half in the gas tank, turned it off, waited 5 minutes, and cranked it, NO SMOKE, hmmmm so i run it up the road, come back rev it still nothing, so i put a lil bit more in the pcv valve then shut it bak off, wait , crank and still no smoke so i ran up even further up the road come back still nothing. could my engine be this clean????

put it thru ur brake booster tube.....i did seafoam before swapping the lower intake...and saw nothing clean after

Onemanzu · September 2nd, 2007, 03:26 PM

... did you put it in the right vacumm line??

Cricket · September 2nd, 2007, 04:19 PM

I used the vacuum line going into the throttle body.

GatoStang · September 2nd, 2007, 04:34 PM

im gonna go buy some seafoam now. =)

Cricket · September 2nd, 2007, 04:37 PM

be careful when you run it through your engine. It will bog your engine down and can kill it and I have heard rumors you can hydrolock your engine with it, but don't know that to be true. I haven't looked into it, and I haven't wanted to know. I just do it to where I feel comfortable doing it, and keep my car running.

Onemanzu · September 2nd, 2007, 04:48 PM

yea i have heard of people doing it but haven't actually seen it happening...

i got some for my lawnmower but it still has to much gas in it ... i am going to empty the mower ... add an ounce of seafoam and an ounce of gas ... run it for a few ... till it clears up then top it off...

then the rest is going in my car... crank and engine ...

GatoStang · September 2nd, 2007, 05:00 PM

6.99...

now i have a full tank of gas should i wait a while to put some in??

and how much do i put in the gas tank if i do?

02ponypackage · September 2nd, 2007, 06:04 PM

i put a whole bottle in a 1/4 tank

Onemanzu · September 2nd, 2007, 06:07 PM

get a funnel

you can do w.e you want with gas... its an once per gallon ratio ... thats what they suggest soo

GatoStang · September 2nd, 2007, 06:09 PM

ok thanks i already use about a third of it so i guess the rest can go in the gas tank.

next time ill put some in the crankcase because its not time to change the oil just yet

02ponypackage · September 2nd, 2007, 06:09 PM

well i went half bottle in the break booster line...then half in the tank

Cricket · September 2nd, 2007, 06:10 PM

i do a third in the tank, a third in the tb vacuum tube, and a third in the crank case

02ponypackage · September 2nd, 2007, 06:11 PM

either way i dont think it did much at all...

GatoStang · September 2nd, 2007, 06:15 PM

as long as it keeps my engine clean.

wannabeimportkiller · September 2nd, 2007, 09:28 PM

hey just got in from work no smoke all day, i'm relieved, yet worried, did i do something wrong, or was it not dirty or what? it definitelyu worked the engine is a WHOLE lot smoother

ESG-642T · September 2nd, 2007, 09:32 PM

I don't think I've seafoam'd one car yet and haven't seen some smoke ...

Weird

wannabeimportkiller · September 2nd, 2007, 09:52 PM

yeh thats what i said, but o well

itschristorres8 · September 3rd, 2007, 12:01 AM

i have a feeling you dumped it in your pvc hole...rather then throw the valve... best bet is to take it in a cup...like 1inch high and pull the pvc valve and dip it in the cup...

bossman2kgt · September 3rd, 2007, 12:13 AM

The thing I noticed is that I had to wait more that 15 minutes for the seafoam to do its job. The first time I used 1/2 of a can and waited five minutes before I ran it. Nothin. So I tried it again but this time waited 15 minutes and wala.....smoke started out the exhaust. Not much but smoked for a good 30 to 40 seconds. Also make sure your running it into the vacuum line.
