Good stuff...Use it on a regular basis to keep the engine clean. I dump a can in the tank every 3 months to keep the injectors and fuel lines clean. Pull a can into the intake every 3 months using the PCV hose. And dump a can in the crankcase about 500 miles before an engine change.

Follow the links PWD provided to get a good sense of where and how.

I think I put half a can through the brake booster hose by pinching the end of the hose with visegrips to restrict the opening, then dipped it into a cup of seafoam. No results, but my engine was pretty clean anyways.

I wonder if in half the cases where people have positive things to say, whether it is simply the mechanical equivalent to the medical placebo effect.

matt, when i used it. i slowely poured it into the brake booster hose. After a while it started smoking out the tail pipe. So continued to pour a little more, then shut it off for like 15-20 minutes and started it up and it smoked like crazy!!!!!

only thing i noticed was a little quicker throttle resonse and thats about it.
