I've always wanted to try it, but am afraid of messing stuff up.
You have the thought right. Seafoam in the gas tank works just like fuel injector cleaner. Just pour in and drive like you normally would.


WW, I don't think you really need to waste another $10.00 to do it again, the chances of it not getting all the crap out is slim. I'd wait another 5-10K miles before you have another go at it.

As a side note, you didn't have to drive it like a bat out of hell to get it to do its job. Just let the vacuum slowly pull some through and pour it in the tb while trying to keep it running. Then, once you get to the last 1/8 of the can, go ahead and pour enough through to stall the motor out and let it set for AT LEAST 20 minutes.

And when you fire it up, it should be a little hard starting, but when it hits, it will look like this:

Hi there. I'm just a noob to the forum, but I believe the song is "I Was Made for Loving You" by KISS.

So I have read that you should change you oil immediately after using seafoam, but if you just put it in the vacuum hose and gas tank do you still need to change the oil?
