Seafoam is great in moderation... alot of people who foul sh*t is due to dumping an entire can into the intake... seafoam is mostly petroleum... it only requires a little to remove alot of the carbon buildup inside an engine... its perfectly safe in moderation...

Yeah. I think I've seen it at Pep-Boys. Definitely at Advance/Discount and Autozone. Sometimes at Wal-Mart. ^ that's what the can looks like. Somtimes it just blends right in and I have to stare for a few mins to find it, so I figured I'd post a pic so that interested parties know what it looks like.

Seafoam is great stuff when used properly. Between that and Fuel Injection Cleaner (Techron) you can keep your car running smoothly for thousands of miles. Carbon buildup and dirty injectors do nothing but harm to an otherwise good engine.

Just my opinion based on the ones who have screwed up there car using it Vs the ones who have ahd success. It may be great stuff but I wouldnt use it in my car as stateted because it's my car. Plenty of cars have lived long lives without it so dont make it seem like your car will blow up tommorow if you dont hurry up and use it. It someone else wants to use it by all means, go for it.

I think its worth using every 3,000 miles to keep your engine at its peak efficiency.

However, engines that run well throughout their lives tend to last longer than engines that are poorly maintained or run inefficiently.
You don't use Seafoam so much to extend your engines life as you do to make the engine run smoothly and efficiently. ANd who doesn't want a smoother, more efficient, more powerful engine??

When u put it in the gas tank, it cleans ur tank? and if it does is it like other fuel cleaners where the gunk gets lifted off the bottom of the tank, and end up clogging the injectors, at least if it was not done regularly? If it doesnt how does it work different from other cleaners?
