I tried it but my car ran fine before and no problems after either. But I only ran it through the gas tank.

Have heard of people having some issues, I have a bottle that I was going to use, but may just dump it in the gas tank.

FYI if you mix it with your gas it will lower octane. If you dump the whole bottle in (which I normally do) just don't take it WOT a million times. It works best using 1/3rd of the can ran through the main vacuum line off the brake booster to the intake manifold.
I use it, one helluva smoke show if you do it under the hood. None if you pour it in the tank. It probably doesn't do anything, but I'll see if occasional use has keep my lower intake clean when it gets warm again and I pull it apart again.

The MM barely smoked at all, but my old TBird was definitely putting on a show!

Trust me it does. When I pulled mine off the other thing that was clean was the valves and surround area where fuel sprayed. lol

That's actually where mice did go and who knows when. I'd bet that it's been there for a long time.

Had the same surprise one spring while getting the 5.0L ready for the summer. A whole family! Used my under-hood-fire blanket for the nest!
1 family of mice. 1 Shop Vac. Priceless!

I hate to say this, but try the "search" function.
There are about a dozen threads concerning seafoam use.
(Sorry to sound like an A-hole, but this subject has been run through the wringer too many times.)

^^ Ditto
I read the subject and thought, Oh F*%@ here we go again.
We need to have a sticky for Oil selection, Spark plug selection, Seafoam, and where to find rear tires.
