I ran it on my 88 LX and a 98 Volvo S70, cleaned both out well. The Volvo had an issue with a sticky lifter that would tick when the car sat at idle too long, after a bottle in the crank case and an oil change it went away.

I love that shit. Put it in your oil gas pcv, use it on your lawn mower or any gas operated machine to clean it out. Picking some up today actually thanks for the reminder.
The white plume of smoke is amazing. Neighbors call the fire department last time...thought my brother in laws car caught fire.

Is it alright for Diesels? If so I will try it on my 256k mile truck and see what it does.

I used it on my 89 through the gas tank. I never got any of the white smoke that I read about, but it did make a difference on my rpms. They would drop a lot faster when I came off the gas, instead of hanging up for a second.

You want to use a small vacuum line to do it through. If you pull a large brake booster hose the car will have a massive vacuum leak and wont run for shit. I put the seafoam in a large cup, pulled a small hose, set the idle up around 1500 rpm and let the hose suck it up a little bit at a time. The car will start to load up and die so just plug the hose with the end of your finger and let it recover, then give it another dose of it. If you were to just shove the hose in the can it would flood the motor with it. Do it outside in a clear area because the fumes are bad. I used 3 cans, one I ran through the vacuum hose, one in the tank and one in the oil. After a couple hundred miles I changed the oil.

3 cans! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) not overkill jeff? i just ran one thru the vacum hose. sucked it up slowly while idling, surging up & down a bit. got a lot of that smoke for about 5 mins. drove it around the block in 1st to get the rpm's up (felt more snappy, torquey) maybe i'm just thinkin about it ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) . i'll drive the car later & see if anything better. i may try a can in the oil & one in the tank also.

Fuk, I didn't do that ![[Mad]](mad.gif) Now I feel like redoin it... We used to use this treatment @ Midas called "F.I.S.C". It had 3 seperate bottles-pour red bottle in the tank, pour black bottle in the crankscase, suck yellow bottle into the intake/vacum. We just ran it straight, not turning any of the cars off. Engine would really stumble & surge a lot & smoke the shit out the whole shop!
