Just thought i would share my seafoam with TN

Its been about a year since my first seafoam and since spring is nearly upon us, i figured its that time again.

Put 1/3 in brake booster and half of what was left into the oil and the other half will go into the gas when i run on empty (3/4 tank now)

Deff was more dirty this time then the last time i seafoamed hints the startling of the exhaust for the first few seconds. Over all was a pretty decent smoke show and now the car runs great!

Getting oil changed monday

Just thought i would share with the fellow tn'ers

i usually do it beginning ov every year- at the same time switch out spark plugs since seafoam hampers their efficiency.. good vid!

theres a hose that goes into the brake booster. here use this vid as a tut. it helped me out alot last year when i did it the first time.

Ahh, seafoaming is fun indeed!

I was seafoaming in a walmart parking lot one time and I had one very concerned older man ask me if my car was going to blow up

You could, I seafoamed in my driveway. However it could make some neighbors upset. When I did the camry, my neighbors came out and stared for a good while since it was all blowing in their direction.

guess it'll depend on how much attention I want from the neighborhood tomorrow.

i do mine in my driveway after dark, that way no one is really out to complain, and plus the thick white smoke against the night looks cool
