Seafoamed Today...

[moviewithnotitle]

I have been using Seafoam in the fuel tank for for a few years, but today I decided to run the seafoam thru the Vacuum line and let it sit for about 15min. Did everything as instructed and was honestly disappointed...only smoked for about 1.5miles.

With 150k on the odometer...I expected more, but I guess the gas treatments have been pretty effective.

Just my $.02 for the day!

i have said it once and i will say it again do not use seafoam fluid down a vacuum line.

Ok, I missed the once, why?

 

[qukon 95]

a lot of people use it through the vacuum like me with good results.
yes please explain!!!

 

[moviewithnotitle]

I should clarify, I DID use the Brake Booster line for my application.

 

[Goodinblack]

Why not?

Pray tell.

DO NOT USE SEAFOAM THRU THE BOOSTER HOSE IT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY!!! YOU GUYS NEED TO STOP PASSING ON BAD IDEAS. FOR THE LOVE OF TYF. PLEASE!!!

They proper way to do it is here.: http://www.seafoamsales.com/cleanin...n-vortec-and-other-exotic-intake-engines.html

on the vortec the booster hose method usually gets the rear half clean and the front half of engine remains unclean and therefore can create uneven combustion as a results.

I'm sure that uneven combustion is going to ruin a 50 year old engine.

i am not saying for advertising reasons at all. i am really trying to help you guys get things done properly. i dont even use the stuff myself.
use the spray and spray only and find it with the 360 straw or contact seafoam for it.

THANK YOU Sunlit. Totally makes sense now. The fact that Seafom actually acknowledges this for the Vortec motors makes it even more important. I will pickup the proper applicator for this job. AND, be sure to pass this information on to others as well. Teach a man to fish...)

Thanks

Just realized sunlit has over 10,000 posts

 

[McFizzl]

He already told me about the spray. I just want to know if I can use it on my MAF sensor and my IAC valve. ITs just carb/tb cleaner.

 

[SunlitComet]

NO!

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

I did not know this, Ive been using it down the Booster for a few years now and have had no issues , However I guess ill use this method from now on

of many things.

 

[Fishin757]

sooo can we use the regular short straw with better results than the vacuum line? because i didnt see the long straw at my auto store

 

[schiavonske1013]

I suppose you could, it might be a bit difficult to move the straw around with such short space though.
