isnt it cheaper, and just as effective, to mix in a gallon of e-85 when you fill up the tank?

 

Adding to the oil, sucking into the intake, and adding to the fuel tank achieve totally different outcomes....

-adding to the oil is meant to loosen and remove sludge. as it was said earlier, running and consistently changing with synthetic oil, there really is no need.

-pulling into the intake via a vacuum line cleans the cylinders of carbon buildup.

-adding to the fuel tank cleans injectors and cylinders.

my .02, i wouldn't feel good about doing this to a turbo car for the reasoning of possible detonation and extreme cylinder temperatures resulting from burning solvents.

 

One of the first things I dont on every used car I buy is 1 can of seafoam in the gas tank. I have never done the other methods.

I found that on High Mileage cars 100k+ it helps to smooth out the idle and general low throttle conditions.

I just put a can in the Evo tonight. The car does feel like it is starting to idle better, however I will wait a few weeks before I claim that seafoam is magic.

Also my brother ran some of this through is STI and had similar results.

THIS IS NOT ME OR MY CAR, just found it on YouTube..

 

ive always heard about this but never new if it truly worked or if it effects the car in a bad way?

 

i used it on my oz lol, and didnt change the oil for a week. gas mileage was terrible but once i changed the oil it was smooth sailing.

 

I've used it for years too. My Evo has already seen two applications. Pour a third into the gas tank, a third into the oil, and suck a third through a vacuum line.

When sucking through the vacuum line let it take the last amount and then turn the engine off. Let set for about five minutes, then start and drive around slowly for about 15 minutes. Immediately change the oil. Don't boost until a new tank of gas. Works great!

 

How would this act with E85?

 

which vacuum hose do you use to suck in the 1/3 of the bottle? BOV or brake booster?

also if we let the car sit after suck it through the vacuum doesn't it hydrolock the car? because I read somewhere that a guy got it hydrolock by turn off the engine and let it sit.

Do you put 1/3 to a full tank of gas or half?

 

will it damage the turbo seal? help....

 

No need to do it if your an e85 car...


Have you ever seen the inside of a well tuned e85 car?!
