when you get down to 1/4 tank of gas- toss in the contents of the seafoam can- no prob at that ratio- its super cleaning strength is all

Dont put in oil until ready to change right away

Make sure you did they 4000 rpm hard revving lots of fun 20 minute engine clean- out after seafoam- and it sits for 5-15 minutes after you put it in- then drive
Do again in 2000 miles and good for a year

can you just leave it in neutral and rev it? i'd rather not have a stormcloud follow me as i drive around, might attract unwanted attention

Here I am!

No-- revving at home does not cause the same type of high heat you need to dissolve 6 years of crud that are now all sticky and wet in the engine. The cloud only stays with you a few blocks- I do that as I leave the neighborhood- then hit the freeway= go to 3000- hit it to 5000 and back down- repeat over and over till smokes no more- then a little cruising for fun
The gas tank method cleans the injector spray pattern- thats good for everything!
