suck half of it thru a vacuum line into the motor, let it sit for 10~20 minutes, then fire it up, then use the rest in the tank. you will see alot of white smoke if you have alot of carbon buildup.

it's the fuel... it's not burning completely. when I did mine I got almost nothing out of it. I was a little disappointed and I thought it didnt do what it was supposed to. then 6 months later I yanked the heads off and I saw why there was no smoke, there was little to no carbon buildup. I attribute that to the chevron gas I used. premium all the way.

I poured 1/2 can down my vacume hose from the brake booster to the intake. Man o Man, I usually run 87 gasoline, when I ran my truck after the sea foam sat for a while, I got the best smoke show ever. There were people driving by my house really slow gawking at me in my drive way watching my truck smoke, it was great!

I've been using Seafoam for some time now in my Kawasaki Vulcan bike and it does wonders for removing carbon buildup and also keeping the fuel fresh from winter storage. Greatest thing around since sliced bread. One ounce per gallon is all you need.
