Okay, i couldn't even translate what I wrote previously. Is it necessary to sea foam and deep creep at the same time; or, do people usually do this merely because they purchase both together? I assume the driving rules apply to both types of treatment?

You want to do it max effect right?- so add the can of seafoam liquid to 1/2 tank of gas
Thats approx 2 oz per gallon= cleaning does
A maitenance dose is 1 to 1, 1 can in 1 tank for general upkeep- every 5000 miles

The gas gets to different parts of the engine than the vac port-mainly the injectors, and since you will be out pumping lots of gas at it while getting the engine warm and then the blowout drive-- it makes sense to be using dosed gas during the entire time!

So add to gas and go for warm up drive
Do deep creep for vac port
Drive to remove residue
Gas tank continues to clean over the next week
1st timers repeat in a month then good for a year

If you do just the gas= drive it normal and dont worry

The extreme drive is only to blow out melted residue from cleaning the piston area

Hint- when using deep creep in the vac port- the engine cooling fan will come on
BACK AWAY QUICKLY~
that hot air! you dont need to stand there and take that!

Just wait till it stops then resume seafoam- it wont hurt the engine to let it idle

Another advantage of the spray can over the old hose-can sip sip method!!
