[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 975523, member: 61136"] I have wondered about the vaccum hose Idea. Usualy on most FI intakes. An available vacuum hose is at one end or the other of the upper intake plenum. Will the sea foam get to all cylinders? The info Rich posted, makes more sense that the vaccuum hose idea. Caburated motors always have, at least one large vacuum source. On the carburator or the spacer. Central to the intake. Also my uncle that retired from a petro company. He was in engine research. He told me that all additives were snake oil. he only recomended sea foam for small engines. He said, modern FI automobiles dont have the problems of carbon and other build ups. That are advertised. As long as your ignition and ECU is performing properly. He said, the best thing was to use tier one gas. To never use the same brand gas continously. One companys detergent additives would clean the deposits, the others didnt. Has to do with different formulations. Unleaded fuel is not like the leaded old days. He did say it can help to use a bottle of chevron thechron. In the tank every 15K, but not necesary, if you got on the highway regular enough. BTW chevron was his competitor..LOL. Since my mom is 81 and never gets over 50mph. He recomended that I put a bottle of techron, in her grand marquis every other oil change. Take it on the back country roads where she lives. Drive it at 80mph for at least 20miles. Also do a few WOT's. I trust his opinions. Not only 'cause of his research experiance. But 'cause he is a gear head also. [/QUOTE]
