I was in Wally world today and they have it there. I am not so good with this stuff though. I can add it to the gas & add some to my oil in 2 months when i go to have it changed, but what exactly do i do to add it to the brake?

dont ADD it to the brake at all...

there is a VACUUM line that comes off the brake booster (usually right near the master cyclender - the big round thing near the firewall...

theres a vacuum line on it, pull it off and pour it down there like the can says

Last night I did this. Granted it was dark and my flashlight wasn't the greatest but I put 60% of the can in the gas tank and the other 40% in the vacuum hose of the brake booster line waited 30 minutes then drove it for about 5 miles and I never saw any smoke? I know I didn't spill any because my hands were dry... anyways I could hear the vacuum sucking it in. So, was 40% not enough in the vacuum hose to notice? This morning I didn't see smoke either?

gear head if you go back to the previous post all of your questions will be answered...but in a nut shell it's a pretroleum distilate that when added to a hot motor will cause the carbon that is built up to crack allowing the distillate to break it down and allow it to be burned throught the exhaust. I've been using it for about 4 yrs now on multiple vehicles foreign and domestic and also have gotten numerous friends hooked on it benefits. Never and I mean NEVER have I had any issue where the seafoam didn't improve my motor.. never damaged it.

wow i gotta stop workin so late i didn't realize that my last post was in response to one of the first post in this series.... ......but again if you don't see any smoke make sure your engine is at operating temp so that when the cool liquid hit the carbon it allows it to crack and be penetrated. Just seafoamed wifey's 01 Expy added throught the booster 1 whole can allowed it to sit for approx 30 min about the time it took for me to change oil and the started up. As always it was hard to start because seafoam is non-combustible. Allowed the engine to get to operating temp then reved to about 4500 rpm and held for approx 5-10 sec. And let me tell ou the amount of smoke was insane also I got a couple of nice carbon puddles under the manifolds and next to the tail pipe tip. Man I love this stuff Expy has 150k+ and still gets 20-22 mpg on the highway.

I used it today and didn't get any smoke at all... maybe I did not use enough. I put 2/3 in the gas tank and 1/3 through the vacuum line. It sucked it up and I waited about 10 minutes or so and started again and drove but no smoke or anything.

March 7, 2007

when you drive it, its hard to see the smoke especially at night...

If you dont get tons of smoke this is a good thing - it means your truck is running cleaner- less carbon deposits, however it means that you wont see much benefit either.

Dont worry about using more - I did half a can in the vacuum, let it sit for 10 minutes and I started it, didnt smoke till i was half way up the hill - then it smoked like crazy

must be done on warm engine!

next time im going to see if it will suck it right up from the can!
