i bought this stuff called seafoam for my truck...its great. its a restoration additive for the engine and it really did clean it up. you add it to you vacuum intake from your brake booser and man it really helps if anyone is looking for a good restore product this was great stuff

has anyone tried this?

did you like it?

 

How much does it cost?

 

about $6.99 at ace hardware

 

Kinda an old redneck trick! That and marvel's mystery oil. I also use Seafoam to fog engines for extended storage.

Seafoam kicks ***!

I love the smoke.. its so funny to drive around puffing white smoke.

Seafoam is not a snake oil like the others. But to be fair, plain water would also work for cleaning the carbon off, but Seafoam has many many other uses than just carbon in the cylander.

So yea, Seafoam rocks!

 

I dump a can in the gas tank every 5000 miles

 

My neighbors love me when I use it.

 

Ya i put it in the gas tank but does that do the same as putting it in the intake?
Hazzard John....is your avatar Christine? Dude that is one freaky movie!!!

 

Yeah. I love that movie. I have a thing for TV and movie cars. My user name comes from the Dukes of Hazzard and I have a General Lee I am building. I want to build a Christine too, but those are rediculously expensive cause they are so rare, I also want a Smokey and the Bandit T/A too. Thatcar (Christine) just looks so evil on fire I thought it was perfect for my Avatar.

 

i used this stuff in the 88 bronco ii i used to have. It really did improve my little 2.9 oh how I miss the gas mileage of that little engine.

 

When's a good time to use this Seafoam you speak of? I got almost 55k on the engine.

 

Any time is OK to start, its really just a fuel system cleaner. I use it about 500 miles before each oil change.

 

Ya dude those are all awesome tv shows and movies your talkin about!!! Man that movie is so freaky when that car rolls back in there all smoked up pullin in that garage..bu bu bu bu bu bu bu bu...bu bu bu bu bu bu bu..it gets your heart racing!

 

So is it better to put it in the vaccuum lines or in the tank? Im thinking about using this stuff.

 

I put a can in my gas tank every 5000 miles

 

I can't imagine puting it in the tank would help at all! That stuff has to enter the combustion chamber as a mist or vapor. Once you add it to the tank it just screws up your gas! It's just not the same as misting it into the intake flow.

 

So fuel doesn't enter as a mist? Please enlighten me.

 

Much more fun to feed it through a vacuum line. Does a great job to decarbon the engine. Really is a hoot to drive around with that thick white smoke belching out. Looks like you're fogging for mosquitos. I do it when the gas tank is half empty. I put half in through the vac, and then dump the other half into the gas tank.

 

Put it in both!

 

has anyone tried their trannsmission additive???

how is it??

 

I put some of that in last week and I have to say (I still cant believe it) it works better than the Lucas Trans Stuff!

 

doesnt running your engine at high rpms clean out any carbon build up?

 

yes but you need the seafoam to break the crabon loose.
I have been using this stuff for a few years on all my vehicles here is the best way

buy 2 cans, put and entire can into the gas tank, 1/3 of the other intop the break booster line, and another 1/3 of a can into the crankcase about 500 miles before yuor oil change, that way all the crud it removes will be drained out during the oil change
