each method does different things. in the gas tank cleans fuel system (lines,injectors etc.), and removes moisture.
in the oil removes moisture. through a vacuum line into the intake manifold cleans carbon deposits off of the top of the pistons.

i've used it in the gas and through the vacuum line, the latter made a noticable difference. if you use it in the oil, don't use very much

i used a full can in the tank after filling up. the last time when i did it through the vacuum line i accidently put 3/4 of a can but i normally use 1/2. with 3/4 it just smoked longer and was a little harder to restart after the 20 minute break, but everything was/is ok.

How often do you use it Ten-Gram? And, Did you notice a difference after you cleaned some carbon of the top-end?? Also the guy at the O'Reilly store said the longer you let it sit the better, Just LOOK OUT for the SMOKE...

I have used it in my Intrepid but never in a Mustang. What vacuum line did you guys use? Also, I would rather follow the directions on the back of the can than listen to the guy at O'Rielly's. The guy might be right but until you are positive I would just go off the directions.
