I want to seafoam my car soon. My first question is this the right product AutoZone.com | Shopping | Accessories | Product Detail - Sea Foam 16 oz. Engine Fuel and Diesel Treatment Next how much do you add to your gas tank and i also heard you can add it in different place 2? Yea i just need some common info about seafoam cus i dont wanna mess anything up Thanks!

[jim.munoz]

yes, that's the right one. you can add a third through you gas, third through your crank case and the last third through your pcv valve. you will want to change your oil 500 miles after you add it to your crank case.

just do a quick search, these questions have all been answered before:

[N29468]

How much gas do you need in your gas tank? Does it matter?

[GTsetGO]

i would do it on a full tank

[N29468]

One more question might be stupid but i dont no is the PCV valve another name for the brake booster line? Because i have been looking around and they say to put it through the brake booster if there different where is the pcv valve located?

[N29468]

Cus i seen it here

YouTube - How-To Seafoam

[N29468]

can someone please upload a pic of the PCV valve and also do i just turn on the engine and let it suck it up Becuase i seen Juggalo X put this in another thread. "nope my engine is off, i pulled the pvc line put a funnel with a tube on it into the intake where the pvc line was emptied the can in there now i let her sit like suggested then ill fire her up, of course i reassembled the pcv system. "

dont sea foam your car..
it can cause more harm than good.!
made my chevy truck start knocking..!!! it cleans all carbon suit out, and you might get a leak or knock

just use injector cleaner..

[jim.munoz]

i read somewhere that it is better to use the pcv valve because it feeds all six cylinders. the brake booster only feeds three. the pcv valve is located on the driver side valve cover.

no its a good thing for the engine, but if u have a hidden problem then when all that carbon gets cleaned out and broken down ur problem can be exposed

[N29468]

So should i feed it in the pcv while the engine is on?

its only exposing pre-existing problems.

[N29468]

Im not worried i still have a warranty on the car so i rather find it now rather then later when i have to pay to fix it.

ok listen to your self.

Dam.. okay so if the problem isnt there yet, why seafoam and bam the problem jumps up and ur shit's fucked from a dumass aluminum bottle of cleaner..

just take car of your motor..
use miidgrade gas.
dont use cheap ass gas.. clogs injectors or its watered down gas.
use synthetic oil...

easy...


if you want to do something like sea foam..

go to a local mr tire and ask for a Fuel incecor cleasing..
they use valvoline.. injector cleaner in gas tank..
throttle body spray..
and than puts some can on hood prop.. and put a regulator on it and run car for 20 min with it.. an car runs brand new
