Sea Foam in Brake Booster Vaccum Hose?

I've done it to multiple vehicles with only positive results. Do it slowly and let it sit for awhile. Fire up and let it smoke.

 

Last I checked Seafoam is designed to be used this way. Read the back of the can...

 

Interesting. I do love my Tacoma. Do you know what normal cat temps should be? I started monitoring the cat temps through my obd 2.

 

Right. That's why I thought my friends were taking a risk when they told me about this method of distribution but they all swear it led to way more power in their engine. It's not conventional so I thought I'd ask.

 

750 degrees or more.

 

So far, when warm, mine run around the same temp of ~1000-1100 and I've been running seafoam in the tank for years.

 

Did you notice a power increase with your old jeep when you did this? Did you suck up the seafoam through the vacuum line?

 

plain old distilled water also cleans carbon. dribble in slowly in any vacuum hose or intake, will blast carbon chunklets off.
but gas tank

$24 bg44k BG 44K fuel system cleaner power enhancer 11oz.

bg44k or techron is far easier, more reliable, but more expensive as you may need to run 5 tanks back to back
to clear up thick carbon....expensive just because bg44k and techron 5 tanks worth costs a small bit of money

 

They are going to plug up. Prepare to buy new ones. Good luck.

 

In gastank, and vacuum lines. It did idle better. Sold it, motor and drivetrain were worn out.

 

Have you noticed any benefits? What is the right tool?

 

Did you notice any benefits? Thanks

 

I think it ran better, but I have no way of proving that. Could have been the placebo effect. It definitely didn't hurt though.

 

Which stuff is meant for feeding into the vacuum line? Thanks

 

I've heard, for many years now and from quite a few different sources, that Seafoam will eat the injector nozzles.
One can is okay, two cans is the limit. After that the injectors will start to erode.

(Obviously, this is the Seafoam product that is added to the fuel tank.)

 

Ive done this for years to every car as soon as i buy it. You should have a tool that looks like a little IV drip but its not necessary.

Get a little tubing and run it in a vacuum line while trucks off, pinch the line, start it up, put the line into the bottle of seafoam and SLOWLY let it suck up some seafoam.

DO NOT LET THE TRUCK DIE. Give it gas if it starts sputtering and im not responsible for you breaking your truck lol youll see a huge cloud of white smoke out your tail pipe. Use 1 can of seafoam in 5 minutes so letting a good amount get into the system then a second can emptying the can in about 25 minutes.

If you go to pep boys or any shop like that this is part of their "Tune up" package

 

I would do it maybe twice a year on my ‘93 civic between 200k-300k miles. It really did help keep it running smooth. Was still averaging 38.5 mpg when I sold that thing.
I personally wouldn’t do it on the truck but I have no doubt it’s safe if done correctly.

 

My '93 is the VX model. New was 55 mpg, now with over 270k, it is down to the middle 40s mpg. I have never used the brand Seafoam, but have used another brand fuel additive. Maybe 2 oz a tank full, 3 or 4 times a year.

 

You could clean the intake and valves by just using a spray bottle that sprays a very fine mist of water . Just spray water into the TB at 1500rpm and let off if the motor loads up then continue again

Do this until you notice a cleaner idle quality

 

I wish mine was a VX. Hard to find.
Had to sell mine when I moved across the county. Picked up a dirt cheap ‘03 after the move from an old lady that didn’t want to pay a shop to fix a bunch of small issues that ended up costing me ~$200 bucks and a couple weekends.
