Just used some Fuel Cleaner and want to seafoam

What's up guys? I just got some Fuel Cleaner and poured it into my gas tank. I want to seafoam my car before I change out the plugs. Will the seafoam have a negative affect since I just used a fuel cleaner? Thanks

No it wont have negative effects.

Unless your car is running differently then when you bought it, my experience has been no gains.

Wont hurt it. I would recommend using the seafoam for fuel injector cleaning too.

thanks for the replies

i've read up on the DIY Seafoam threads, but I didn't see anything on how to do the Injector cleaning. How does that work?

Redline SI-1 or Amsoil PI are better for fuel system cleaning. They contain PEA, which works extremely well for that purpose.

Yeah. I've been noticing a huge drop in HP and slow pick up when i'm on the freeway. When I want to barely gas it, the rpm drops, then picks up again. Gotta change my plugs after the seafoam.
