I've done all 3 of the treatments. NO doubt it cleans. I had little black peices of built up carbin spitting out my tail pipes. I would say all together about an 8th of a cup. Deff be at the gas startion and put it in right before a fuel up.

I made the mistake of putting a whole bottle in with just a few gallons in the tank. I was going to go steight to the gas satation but got side traked and teh car sat out over night. Started the car in the morning ran for a few secs then shut off. Wouldn't start again till I drained a good bit of gas. But she is purring real pretty now.

BTW the knock from the from timmng chain guard has gone way down. I think useing it in my oil has increased the pressure on the chain and now it doesn't nock it as hard. I will be removing the guards soon though.

They sell a Sea Foam in an aerosol can called deep creep and can be used in the same way as the one in the bottle. That would be good for what you are talking about.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE DAMN BOTTLE.

YOU DONT FILL UP YOUR TANK ALL THE WAY.

--33% OF SEAFOAM BOTTLE WILL TREAT ABOUT 8-9 GALLONS OF FUEL. DONT ADD MORE.

--DONT LEAVE IT IN YOUR CRANKCASE FOR ANY MORE THAN 25-50 MILES.

--AND ONLY USE DIRECT MANIFOLD VACUUM LINE. DONT PASS IT THROUGH THE THROTTLE BODY. DIRECTLY INTO THE MANIFOLD.

AND DONT DO IT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. NEIGHBORS WONT BE HAPPY. DO IT AFTER 9 PM , START THE CAR AND GO FOR DRIVE ON SOME EMPTY ROAD AND START REDLINING IT.
