i did it throught the vaccum line,

...my buddy attatched it to the vaccum line, i turned the car on and began revving, then a bunch of smoke started coming out the exhaust pipe...

its good to put some in the crankcase too, i would of but i ran out of it

the best part was when it started smoking like a champ and my neighbour came running out thinking there was a fire

Yea I was a user of seafoam and it was the shit! When I first used it I didn't put too much in and nothin really happened. But a month later I put a good amount and BAM, smoke screen.

And where to put it? It's that line that I think is right above the V or so in V-Tec.

I plan on putting this magic jucie (seafome) into the crank case, through the PCV line and in the gas tank. But when I put it into the gas tank how much gas should I have in there ? Full tank, half tank or quarter? Or dose it not matter? Because I used one of those fuel system cleaners and it states that one bottle treats up to 20 gallons.

Remember, you should have an oil change after this. Don't wait any longer than a week or 2 the most.

Just bought a bottle, poured half into my gas tank, and half into my oil... within 10 seconds, my car starting shuddering, rpm's went really low, car nearly stalled, the shuddering continued for about 3 minutes, then, my engine light, which was allready on, starting blinking on and off. I turned my car off and back on, and the CEL was on steady again, and then car was smooth, any ideas what that was all about?

Just bought a 2nd bottle of seafoam, and all the oil change necessities... this time i am gonna send the whole can through the pcv valve, and i also bought a new pcv valve to replace the one i use with the seafoam... hoping the car will pass emissions with this and a fresh oil change... any other tips to pass emissions inspections? thanks....

Um, I hope ypu changed your oil pretty quickly after pooring that shit in the crank case. Did you not read any of the DYI on this product... Half a can in your gas tank... SMokin'. Oh and how about that smell... Kinda like your radiator burst or something... PU.

dont put the entire can in thru the pcv valve, u only use 1/3rd of the can. too much will destroy your catlatic converter (breaks down the catlyst).
