Default Seafoam induction cleaning Q&A

Knocking this out for the first time today and had a question about using this product in the oil as the bottle suggests. Also, I am guessing when I remove the vaccum line from the nozzle as shown in the instructions I do not have to plug that line up nor worry about it?

As always thanks in advance for the help.

dont bother using it in the oil i would just use it for an induction cleaning. do you have SAI? just disconnect the SAI or the rubber plug over the vacuum if you dont have SAI and use the hose that came with the can of seafoam and a pair of pliers to cynch the hose and slowly suck it thru without making the engine stall.

Better yet, buy one of the new style Induction SeaFoam cans, comes with hose and instruction. Use a whole can on the cleaning, clean your t/body and idle control solenoid and then put a bottle of SeaFoam, or better yet B&G's 44K into the gas tank and take a hour run some where at high speed to let it all work.

Thanks for the info and I do have sai. I did it and t seemed to work great and I swear it's runner better. No idea how or why this works, but it did. At least in my imagination if nothing else.

Mike,

I did the induction yesterday and used the seafoam in the tank. Would it still be benefcial to throw the b&g 44k in the tank or should I wait until my next fill up.

Thanks for all the help

Next time you are going to be on the road for an hour or two, I would throw a can of 44K in.

I understand the Seafoam Induction creates a lot of white smoke. Is this somthing I need to be concerned about (i.e. in a residential area)?

i know autozone stocks it. or you can get it online http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...d=200490556285

the white smoke can cause some alarm, i live in a residential area as well and people thought my truck was on fire. just carry the can with you as you drive in case you get pulled over you can explain whats going on and that it will clear shortly.

Thanks for all the help. I bought the BG kit with the three different bottles. It is the 44k, throttle body and induction cleaning system. I have to wait a few days for it to ship ground. Let's see what it does.
