Wow, the magic elixer is spreading like a wildfire. Seafoam is basically diesel fuel with some doctoring. I'll catch he11 for this.

So why Seafoam? Pour it down an intake and what? To attempt to clean the back side of an intake valve, possibly carbon on a piston face and stress the CAT and O2? Not me.

Run Berrymans injector cleaner through your gas tank. For the money, the best injector cleaner period. Very strong solvent. May take two cans if really bad.

When I change my oil, I add a half quart of diesel fuel to the crankcase oil. Let the motor run for 10 minutes at idle. When possible, let it sit overnight. The diesel will start melting carbon and sludge on the piston rings and softening seals with no damage.

You are better off putting the Seafoam in the gas tank where it will dilute. Down the vacuum line only makes Seafoam happy and downstream parts unhappy.

My $0.02
