You put a hose in the can and hook the other end to a vacum somewhere close to the throttle body and let it suck it in. Make sure it doesn't suck a lot at one time the car will go dead. Works good though.

Search for seafoam by my name. I explained the concept a while back but I can't be bothered to search for something you didn't search for.

Its a great product imo but when used in a higher milage engine in the crankcase it can losen things up that probably shouldnt have been losened up which could lead to oil failure. Ultimatly thats exactly what it is suppose to do in the crank case but incase you leave something behind then that isnt too good.

For the gas or intake I think its great, it helps to clean carbon off of all surfaces it meats.

Read the direcections on the can and you should be fine. I let my cars take in 1/3 can. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then start and have a high school dance too with a disco ball because the smoke screen doesnt get any better.

I used it about every 5000 miles for a while and it would get lighter and lighter to finally there wasnt much smoke coming out so I stopped using it because it had done what I wanted it to. That smoke is suppose to be all the carbon buildup coming out.


Anyways thats my personal experiance with SeaFoam, I have used it on 4 cars and never had problems, 2 of them in the crank case.
