Default Seafoaming my car mannn!

So i decided on seafoaming my car tomorrow. I plan on only doing the break hose or whatever and the gas tank because im sketched out putting it in the crank thingy lol but my real question is that, does it matter how much gas i have in my car when i put the seafoam in the gas tank? (i have about 10 gallons)

thanks in advance!

U should be fine I've put more than half of the sesfoam in the tank in my eg and nothing happened. And putting it in ur oil is safe as long as u don't drive it alot I usually put it in my oil and drive it for like ten or fifteen miles and then change the oil. My dad once out the whole thing in his car and drove it like that for a week and nothing happened. Not saying that it's safe just sharing my dad's experience haha

bcintron95 read the directions on the can it will tell you how many ounces/gallon and again with the oil it will state ounces/quart.
IMO the best thing would be to put it in the crank case, the amount of sludge and crud that comes out at your next oil change will amaze you.

when you put it in the crank case keep in mind that stuff is not oil its more of a solvent than oil so don't drive it at all when doing it just idle it for a couple minutes and immediately drain the oil...don't drive around with that stuff in there for long and certainly don't rev it

Also it doesn't really do anything in the intake. How could it ? I would rather use Isoheet and Lucas Fuel injector treatment in the gas tank, but that's just me. The Isoheet removes water which is good when ur car sits in cold months.

When I Seafoam my car I get 3 plastic cups and fill them all evenly. This way I know that it is evenly divided. I then pour two of the cups in the fuel tank (I usually do it when I have only a couple gallons in it) and then SLOWLY let the vehicle suck up the remaining cup through the brake booster line. It usually takes me 5-10 minutes to let the car SLOWLY suck up the Seafoam through the brake booster line. Better to be safe instead of having bent valves.

Then I let it sit for 10-15 minutes and rev it up/drive it hard for a few miles.

I would never put it in oil on a high mileage vehicle. If it has alot of sludge built up and it suddenly loosens it all you could have some serious engine damage.

Just don't use this much.
None at all is best, just a snake oil treatment that keeps getting revisited. Do your maintenence when your supposed to and all will be well.

using good gas like shell, chevron, exxon and texaco will do more for you than any of the other crap. ****, shell or exxon gets the best mileage and power anyways

heard of top teir gas? its no bullshit, cheap places like citgo/valero only use the EPA minimum detergents, which actually allows for some valve sticking and injector failures, its crap
