So I see that you were the test dummy for the sea foam test, we had discussed in an earlier post, Nice!!
I'm glad you got good results. I have only run it thru the gas tank, and I was amazed at the results. I gained 5mpg after using it. Better than I have ever gotten with Techron.
I see you got yours from Napa, I also picked mine up at Autozone. I will only be running it every 6 months, to keep from fouling up the plugs and O2 sensor.

Nice post

You can always use any other vacuum line such as the PVC line or the little hoses off the Tb (be aware which one is vaccum versus coolant), but still the brake booster is better since it's a bigger draw.

Then you know what, that guy is an idiot, because Napa is supposed to carry it. What a bunch of retards!!! The local autozone's (in my town at least) don't carry such an item and only carry generic brands.

We have a store in Sacramento called Tognotti's, if you have such a store in your town you might try there, if not, then online from somewhere is your best bet then.

hmm

This is kinda wierd where you guys live. I can get SeaFoam where ever I stop usally. Any where from auto shops like Checker, NAPA all the way to Wal-Mart, K-mart. And hell if i am lazy and i dont want to drive that far i can just go to the gas staion down the block. But the stuff i think is great. I also use it on my snow blower and other small engines applications.

i changed my oil a couple of days ago and added some prolong engine cleaner along with some prolong fuel injector cleaner. all i have to say is that stuff works. after 100 miles my truck feels super smooth.

Yeh, if you can't find it, check with tractor supply places or small engine repair/sales. That's where it's been used for a long time. Stuffs been around forever (20 years at least)

Autozone doesn't carry it here. I have seen it in O'Reilly's and Advance Auto Parts stores.
