Default seafoam ?

does it make a difference if i add the seafoam directly into the motor through the valve cover or through the brake booster line?

the reason i ask is i added about half a can through the top and other half in the fuel tank and i dont remember seeing any smoke coming from the car(it was night).

Ok, Seafoam in tank= cleaning inside of fuel lines and inside of injectors and tops of pistons

Seafoam in vacum line= cleaning injector tip intake tract and tops of pistons even better.

so would adding it through the valve cover be the same as through the brake booster line?

You mean pouring it into the hole in the valve cover? That is a NO NO. IF you mean using the PCV tube that could work as well.

If you pour the seafoam into the valve cover, it will be like adding seafoam to your oil... you CAN do this, however, read the directions on the bottle so you know how much to add.... A week before im going to do an oil change, i take seafoam and pour half a bottle into my gas and half into my oil... then i take a fresh new bottle and pour it all into the brake booster line... i let the car sit for 15 mins and then i take it for a spirited drive... at the end of the week i change my oil and im done
