seafoam

[Domesticated]

ok the subie is quite the smoker and is having compression issues and i heard a lot of good stuff about seafoam. the subie only smokes when its idleing for a little bit, either waiting for me to get the car going or at a long light. so i throw some seafoam in the car and turn it on expecting the car to smoke a lot because even if seafoam is used on a good car its smokes. well it didnt smoke at all and didnt all day long. wtf. my car smokes when its not suppose to and doesnt smoke when it is suppose to

[jon]

how much did you put in? where did you put it in? how long did you let it sit?

[Domesticated]

half in the crankcase half in the gas tank. then i started it up and let it idle for about 10-15 min

[gotrice93]

What did the instructions say to do?

[Domesticated]

can be used in crankcase and in fuel system. it said how much to use per fuel and how much per qt of oil, but nothing else after that

[jon]

thats why you arent getting the smoke...first off change your oil right away..you cant leave it in the oil it will fuck your seals up...if you want the smoke you gotta do it through your intake...i always put it in using my brake booster line...then it burns and smokes while cleaning the intake...you did it fine for the crankcase but change the oil NOW!

[Domesticated]

it says to put in after an oil change for long lasting cleaning, no warning about running it for too long

[jon]

you always want to put seafoam in before your oil change....i have never heard anywhere about putting it in after...i would look at my can but its in the garage

[Domesticated]

i did some research and seafoam says to leave it in 100-250 miles before changine oil so im good to go

EA FOAM MOTOR TREATMENT for Gas Engine Applications

100% Pure Petroleum
Use in All Engines in All Seasons
2 Cycle, 4 Cycle, and Diesels
Treats 3 Critical Areas: Gas Tank, Fuel Systems, and Crankcase

* Cleans fuel injectors
* Cleans carburetor jets
* Cleans carbon
* Stabilizes fuels
* Upper cylinder lube
* Removes moisture in fuel
* De-icer
* Frees sticky lifters
* Frees sticky rings
* Removes moisture in oil
* Cleans P.C.V. systems
* Cleans catalytic converter odors
* Oxygen sensor safe



How Many Mechanics Use SEA FOAM
In Tune-Up of 4 Cycle Gasoline Carbureted or Fuel Injected Engines
Autos, Trucks, and Tractors

1. With engine warm, slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through carburetor or throttle body throat. (If vehicle is port injected slowly pour SEA FOAM through direct manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line.) This will pull SEA FOAM down on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve carbon. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. If severe carbon build up is apparent, use more Sea Foam as previously directed. Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time.
2. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint into oil crank case to clean rings, lifters, dirty parts and remove moisture.
3. Pour 1/3 to 1 full pint into fuel tank to clean injectors, carburetor jets, fuel lines and remove moisture.
4. Immediate Results: Smoother idle, increased R.P.M.'s better throttle response and improved performance. See label on can for detailed results for use in each area.

5. Cleans PCV valve systems

One pint treats 10 quarts of oil (avg. 1 1/2 ounce per quart).

When Added to Fuel Tank

* Cleans fuel injectors and carburetor jets
* Cleans carbon as you drive
* Lubricates upper cylinders
* De-ices and removes moisture
* Diesel full conditioner and anti gel
* Stabilizes fuel

One pint treats 8-25 gallons of fuel (average 1 ounce per gallon).

EA FOAM TRANS TUNE

Automatic Transmission and Power Steering Tune-Up Formula

* Cleans gum & varnish
* Smoothes rough and erratic shifting
* Maintains smooth operation
* Auto-transmission flush
* Power steering and rack and pinion flush
* Cleans and dries hydraulics



Works and Performs Instantly

* Conditioner that is not a stop leak
* Cleans sticky valve bodies and governors
* Use to flush power steering and rack and pinion units
* Safe, fast, and reliable





A 100% pure petroleum product. SEA FOAM TRANS TUNE is a conditioner that is not a stop leak and is entirely compatible with all automatic transmission, power steering and hydraulic units.

When to Use SEA FOAM TRANS TUNE

* For peak performance use SEA FOAM TRANS TUNE as directed when changing transmission fluid as preventive maintenance and to keep parts clean and maintain proper performance.
* When erratic shifting is experienced, add 1/2 pint as directed to restore smooth performance. Do not overfill. Fluid can be changed at regular service basis.
* When flushing is required prior to installing a new rack and pinion, use TRANS TUNE as directed.

Results Used in Automatic Transmission

* Smoothes rough shifting, skip shifting, and slow shifting.
* Removes harmful gum, varnish and moisture deposits from valve bodies, governors and other internal parts.

For Use in Automatic Transmissions

* With transmission at operating temperature, check the fluid level. Add 1/2 to 1 pint TRANS TUNE to the transmission fluid. This normally will not overfill the fluid level, however, the fluid level should never exceed the manufacturers recommended level.
* For best results use 1/2 to 1 pint TRANS TUNE in the transmission fluid prior to a transmission flush or fluid and filter change. Drive at least five miles shifting into all gears. If you are not able to drive the vehicle, shift into all gears for about 3 minutes with the brake or parking brake applied. This will allow TRANS TUNE to clean transmission valves and parts in each area. When additional cleaning is necessary add 1/2 pint of TRANS TUNE to the transmission fluid and change the transmission fluid on a regular service basis.
* A PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND CLEAN TRANSMISSION WILL RESULT IN SMOOTHER OPERATION AND LONGER LIFE!

Results of Power Steering Flush

* Prolongs power steering and rack and pinion life.
* Thoroughly cleans power steering system before installation of new rack and pinions and Power Steering Pumps.

For Use in Power Steering Units

* If rack and pinion or power steering pump replacement is necessary, be sure system is flushed before installing new rack or flush for preventive
maintenance.
* To flush the power steering unit, drain power steering pump reservoir and fill the reservoir with 1/2 pint of TRANS TUNE. Run engine to pump fluid through system for 15 to 30 minutes, turning the steering wheel from lock to lock every 5 minutes. This will dissolve varnish and suspend contaminants into the fluid. Stop engine and drain fluid from reservoir placing the return line in drain pan. Cap reservoir. Disable ignition. Turn engine off with starter and run 1 1/2 pints of TRANS TUNE through power steering reservoir to flush system of all contamination. Then flush system with power steering fluid.
* After flush is completed refill reservoir with new power steering fluid.

A properly maintained transmission and power steering unit results in smoother operation and longer transmission and steering unit life.

For Use in Hydraulics

* Add 1 pint of TRANS TUNE to every four gallons of hydraulic fluid, to dry moisture and clean varnish from valves. For best results, use prior to changing hydraulic fluid.
* When additional cleaning is necessary add 1 pint of TRANS TUNE to every 8 gallons hydraulic fluid and change hydraulic fluid on a regular service basis.

for the subies... and anything else really..

its best to use 1/3 in the oil about 200mi before a change

1/3 in the gas tank with at least a half tank

and 1/3 into the engine,, the pcv line is the preferred method but brake booster and intake works as well, you just need to make sure you pour it in VERY slowly it can flood your engine if its added too fast make sure the rpm stays from 1000-1500 during the pcv feed


i L<3VE SEAFOAM!!

[srtbrian]

I dont know if it has been said, if you want it to smoke ( it should when you put it in) find a vac line ex. brake booster line, something pretty good size, grab the bottle turn the car on, put the vac. line in the bottle and let the vac. suck it into the intake, that will clean your valves, intake, tops of the pistons, spark plugs, all that good stuff. and Yes it works. I did it on my New Yorker after my plugs were very black and I took a plug out and it looked new. remember to idle it up some it will want to die, then turn it off after its done wait about 15 min start it back up and let it smoke!

[veritas]

I used it how you did and that shit blew my seals and I dropped a valve 30 minutes after using it...

Everyone I talked to laughed @ me for using 50/50 in gas tank and oil because your supposed to feed it through a vacuum line not physically put the whole can into your car... Speakin from experience sir :P
