All Seafoam does is clean out the gunk inside your engine and injectors. This will do nothing more than restore any horsepower/fuel economy you have lost due to years of dirt and grime inside your engine. Any power you pick up along the way is because it has just been suppressed by the filthy engine and is now free again. |
| − | + | If you are losing power and mpg due to carbon buildup, experiencing pinging and/or if you're having trouble passing emissions test, Seafoam may be your answer (yes, Seafoam will actually reduce your emissions if carbon buildup is causing dirty exhaust fumes!). Feeling the pinch at the pump lately? Well, Seafoam can be used to pick up a few extra mpg you have lost over the years and reduce or eliminate your engine ping by cleaning out your cylinders! | |

Simply drive to the gas station and completely fill up your tank with 91+ octane gasoline as usual. Take 1 of the 2 cans of Seafoam in the requirements above. this can of Seafoam will be poured directly into your gas tank. Now, Seafoam makes a great product, but they didn't think too hard when they designed their can. You need a funnel in order to dump it into your gas tank. Do not try to be cool and try and beat gravity by jamming the can into your gas tank. I tried that and failed miserably. All I got was a car that smelled like gas and wasted seafoam on the ground. Take the long skinny funnel, put it in your gas tank, shake the can of Seafoam up and pour the entire can of Seafoam into the tank. Then, take your car for a nice ride so the seafoam swishes and mixes in your gas tank. The Seafoam will clean out your injectors nicely. Run this tank pretty low before filling up so you don't dilute the mixture with more gasoline. This way, you get the maximum cleaning power of seafoam. |
