Seafoam?

[69z28rsss]

Has anyone ever used seafoam? I hear people say it is good but I'm noy sure......

[RaddHazzard]

In your fuel or crankcase or intake? Personally i wouldnt use it at all. If youre looking for a fuel system cleaner try gumout regane, redline sl-1, or techron.

It's good if your engine is dirty, it usually will improve your mpg a little bit for a while too. I use MMO in my gas for about 2 tanks and it does the same for me. Seafoam is for smoke shows riding up and down the neighborhood.

I've used seafoam and Chevron Techron, and I gotta say I noticed a HUGE improvement with the Chevron, and I was using seafoam about every 6k miles. Seafoam is a good product, but I would keep it in the shed for the mower and weed wacker. If your fuel system is dirty, you're gonna need a solvent like the Chevron stuff, or I've heard the redline is really good too.

Would this be safe to put in the NNBS trucks? & how long does that stuff last?

Yes it's safe to use in the fuel system. Do you mean how long between treatments?

Like when your hitting the gas & the exhaust smoke is white fluffy looking.

It lasts a few minutes depending on how bad your truck is. I did it on my old '01 Silvy with 135K and it lasted about two minutes. A neighbor with a Prius drove by right when it started smoking

Well my truck has 120K on it. So I'm gonna give it a try.

After warming up your engine. Keep the engine running at a high idle and locate either the PCV valve or the brake booster vacuum line. Choose which one you'd like to use and disconnect it.

 

 

Using the PCV valve pour about 1/3 of the can in. If you use the vacuum line, pour 1/3 of the can into a container and then use the vacuum line to suck it out of the cup. If the engine stalls before you get it in, try sucking the fluid in slower. You may want to cover part of the line with a finger. When you have 1/3 of the can in the car turn off the engine.

 

 

Pour 1/3 can of Seafoam into your gas tank.

 

 

Pour 1/3 can of Seafoam into your oil via the crankcase.

 

 

Wait about 5-15 minutes.

 

 

Start the engine back up. You may need to give it a little gas to keep it from stalling. Expect to see a fair amount of smoke, so you'll want good ventilation. Do this at night or away from people to avoid bugging the neighbors. Idle your car for a few minutes and then take it for a drive.

 

 

Expect to change your oil in the next few hundred miles. Seafoam is not for long term use in the oil.

I use to do it on my 2000 Z28 once a year and worked great. When I did my heads and cam, my entire topend components were clean! My heads had no sludge at all. Everything was impecable. I haven't done it to my truck yet but I'm gonna

I would actually put 1 and 1/3 can in the fuel tank. It might be a little more than what they recommend on the can, but it won't hurt to do it once, especially if you don't use fuel injector cleaner often
