90 22RE Seafoam treatment

I just got a can of Seafoam and I want to run it through the intake but I don't know which hose to use. Could anyone point me in the right direction as I don't want to mess anything up.

use the one right off the middle of the intake manifold, facing towards the valve cover, And be careful if you have never done that truck...First time I did my Yota it smoked for 45 mins and fouled 2 plugs. Now that I do itatleast twice a year just smokes for a few mins.

I used the hose coming off the brake booster, the big hose facing the middle.

Follow directions, 6 oz in gas tank, 6 oz in oil (if you want to do that---I do it right before an oil change, 200 miles or so), and the last 6 oz in the vac. hose for the top of the motor.
Pour it in slowly so the motor only sputters a bit, too much stalls it out.
Wait about 30 minutes and restart motor. Be prepared for all the smoke. It will smoke more than you ever thought possible, mine did. Do this in an open area.

I used the big vac hose on the brake booster. I usually pour 1/2 a can into the intake and a can and a half into the gastank.

I never bother putting it into the crankcase.

LOL, the fun part is all of the disgusted looks I get from the neighbors when I seafoam my engines!! Good stuff, I always keep a can of it in my truck.

Ive had good results with SeaFoam as an injector/fuel system cleaner.

I also tried it in the crankcase for about 250 miles and when I did my valve adjustment there was still plenty of gunk in the top end.Maybe I need to do it multiple times or switch to ATF.

Never used it in the crank case, I'm gonna give it a try. I ride stand up jetskis, and I keep a can of it strapped inside of my hull. A can of seafoam, some spare plugs, and a sparkplug wrench is my first aid kit on the ski!!
