Had to be careful not to get too wild and pour it in fast enough to hydrolock the engine (water isn't compressible). Obviously, not a good thing.
There are petroleum products such as Seafoam that can be used as I describe, and I think they'll kill the combustion process before reaching the hydrolock point.
Seems to me, could pour it in the IAC port opening and let the motor draw in what it wanted? May have to try that.

I've been running shell 93 lately, no techron stations around. I know everything could use a bit of a cleaning on mine, I've put 40K on it since we got it I think, haven't seafoamed it or anything.
