no...I did 1/3 in the intake manifold through the vac line on the blow off valve, NONE in the oil because I didn't think the car needed it, and a FULL BOTTLE in the gas tank. The bottle says a full bottle will treat 8-25 gallons of gas. Pour the whole thing into the tank, then fill up.

also, I don't know where this 3rd, 3rd, 3rd thing came from. The instructions on the website only give a quantity for intake application. It doesn't say to only put 1/3 of the bottle in the tank or in the oil. From the instructions, it looks as though you are supposed to pour the entire bottle in both places. All fuel treatments are like that, and usually oil treatments are too.

I guess people are just too cheap to buy two bottles? lol

Did you have the car running with someone keeping the revs up when you poured it into the intake?

How do you know? Did you pull the head, or use a bore scope before and after?

No rocks chips on side or F.Bumper- Good Job man.

She still purdy, I'll Hit . Got a friend who also used that stuff, but he recommends cleaning the tank thoroughly or replacing it.

Yes. You can use the throttle cable, but I wanted to make sure I was regulating the amount of seafoam I that was going in. I had my gf work the gas from the driver's seat while I slowly let the vac line suck in the seafoam a little at a time.

I dumped a whole bottle down the carb of my sister in law's Nissan truck. That white smoke that poured out maust have covered half an acre, but that thing was a torn up and turned out. She still drove it for another 6 months, butyou'd get dizzy from all the exhaust leaks it had that came up thru the floorboards.
