Default Different type of seafoam

I bought a can of seafoam a while ago and still haven't found the time to use it but I realized later that it's different than the one everybody is talking about. It's a spray can with a little straw and it says to feed trought the intake by loosening the calmp.

Anybody used this type of seafoam?

It's probably the same product but delivered in a way that's much easier to administer to the air intake system. I mean, let's face it, it can be difficult to get the liquid Seafoam delivered properly and in small steady quantity.

If you were looking to use it for fuel treatment or to clean the oil system, you may just have to buy another bottle, a traditional bottle, and use the spray for air intake applications only.

Are you sure it is for motor treatment? I noticed the other day that seafoam also makes a pb blaster type product.

PB Blaster is a penetrating oil. It is used to help dissolve rust and corrosion that holds fasteners tight in a chemically formed bond. Spraying these fasteners with PB Blaster a few days before the project can mean the difference between rounding a bolt head or nut and successfully removing said fastener with less effort.

Seems Seafoam as a manufacturer might have a similar product and he's wondering if maybe you bought the name on the can instead of checking application first. It's worth reading the instruction to be sure.

Tried the fancy straw, it kept coming loose and sprayed more seafoam on my window than intake. I'll stick to regular can.
