Be sure to go online and read the directions on their site.

I've used it many times before with good results.

You will smoke out your neighbors, though.

i love seafoam. my vehicles never smoked because of it. but then again i use it regularly enough i guess. when i deployed i put staybil in my car (wife cant drive a manual) and when i got home i put a bottle in the tank(i parked car with 1/8 tank) and drove it a lil before filling up with fresh gas i like it. i used a couple on my bronco but it was parked for 3 years while in the military with half tank of gas and i didnt want to drain the tank i know im lazy

whats it for? cleans fuel system tank, lines, carb/injectors. i also run lucas additive i have noticed fuel improvement but buy the big bottle from walmart its cheaper and you save more:pepper:but you lose the fuel milage if you fill up without it

also can put it in your oil day before you do an oil change and it will clean out the sludge too

Hmm this is interesting. Im gonna have to read up on this stuff.

The guy at AAP said he didn't buy it at first but now he swears by it. Says it's an awesome additive and can do nothing but improve performance.....

its great because it can be used in so many ways.... can put it in fuel tank, in engine oil ** but dont leave it in too long only a few miles** and also injected in through a vaccum line..

I think it's good to go for more than a few miles but your point is valid... Nothing you'd want to do with a fresh oil change or a 1/2 tank of gas where you only drive 2 miles a day... :)

b.t.w.. if y'all want to remove the buildup on the seals / oil deposits...

BG109 is some pretty damn serious stuff... You only want to have it running in your motor oil for 10-15 minutes...

The guys at jiffy lube freaked out when they drained it... (it was pretty funny hearing the guy in the pit freaking out with the smell...)
