Title: Putting seafoam in an EFI
Post by: hcgalvin on November 17, 2005, 09:07:51 AM: Hey all,

So I've got some seafoam and I want to clean out my intake. I understand that I should be able to unhook a vacuum line, and basically suck seafoam out of the bottle into the intake with it, and then let it sit and foam up.

My question is, what is the best vacuum line for this? What is the best way to do this? Is what I'm talking about feasible?

(16 valve for those not in the know)

Thanks!

I put the seafoam in yesterday using the brake booster line.

Definately some extra pick-me-up. Kind of like putting in new spark plugs.

I had fun zooming down the road for a little bit smoking people out behind me. ;D

Doesn't harm the polymers at all! Alcohol base products don't work !/2 as well & deteriorate the polymer lines & components.

Go find some shop that uses BG products and buy a can of 44k and put it in your tank

Post by: kubik1981 on March 30, 2009, 04:58:31 AM: it sounds stupid i used to work for Carquest and they sent us to a training class for Sea Foam. The stuff is awesome. The penitrating oil is awesome also just as good if not better then PB Blaster. Also if you have chrome rims use Bug-B-Gone and let it set for a couple of mins then rinse off.
