Cool Sea Foam

Hey All !!!
I have a 2000 TL and want to clean out that fuel injector system. Has anyone used the product Sea Foam? What is the best way to use it? I read something on using the brake vac. line to suck it in. Has anyone done this? Which line is the brake vac line? Thanks for any help !!

Yeah, it's a great product. Do a search and you'll come up with more than enough info. Even some pics on which vacuum line to use.

flyboy- buy 3 pint cans to do a full car cleanout with seafoam
1 for vac line cleans valves and piston tops-
1 in 1/4 tank gas cleans injectors
1 in engine oil before oil change- scrubs out years of gunk in the passageways

NO
Read the gen2 thread titled Seafoamed the ol TL
You use a specific intake vac line to suck it into warm engine-
sets 15 minutes then drive like escaped mental patient to blow the gunk out

Pour in gas tank to clean injectors

Pour in engine oil just before change
Its a lot of fun
