Guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) so me and my dad go to walmart to get the oil changed in my 1994 corolla (oil was over 2 years old due to sitting in the driveway). and the mechanic there asks is they should do a fuel system cleaner. we say yes and it took about 40-50 minutes. i didnt see the end result but my dad said that there was white/light grey smoke pouring out of the car. everyone was looking, even the mechanics there...buuuut noone called me to see it. afterwards the car smelled a little (from the carbon that was coming out the exhaust i assume) but it ran 100% better than when it did before. the engine used to vibrate the interior like it was a massage parlor, but it idles and drives like it did probably 10 years ago. alls i gotta say from this is, if you havent done a fuel system cleaning yet on your car, do it edit: im kind of bad at telling stories but i was baffled at the end result, had a smile on my face the while drive home.

lanman31337 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Save yourself some cash money the next time. Go to your favorite auto store and get some seafoam. You can thank me later on this.

Guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 that seafoam video's results were all the same as what happened to mine. but whats the difference between seafoam and gumout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanman31337 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Probably the chemicals that they use and price. Seafoam can be put right into a vacuum line for the intake as well as an oil treatment. I HIGHLY recommend if you're using it in the oil, you put it in right before you do an oil change, let the car run for maybe 10 minutes, then change the oil.

1992Chevy K1500 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 When you change the oil, put some seafoam in the oil and let the engine idle. Do not drive the vehicle. When you do, put some in the gas. Also, run some in the vacuum line. Be very careful. Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for any damage to your engine.

R_Mac_1 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I've seafoamed a few times (on my previous car) and man does it make some smoke. The car ran a bit better, but it wasn't night and day. Oh, and what I did was suck little bits into the vacuum line without letting it die. When I had used about half to 2/3 of the can, I did one big suck and let it kill the engine. Let the engine sit for about 20 minutes, then start it up and drive it like you stole it. TONS of smoke.

Nic Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Probably the chemicals that they use and price.

I HIGHLY recommend if you're using it in the oil, you put it in right before you do an oil change, let the car run for maybe 10 minutes, then change the oil. best is to actually change the oil ( cheap oil and filter) let it idle for about 20 min then rechange and use the good stuff... for older engines i go real cheap i drain the oil add 3 quarts atf type F and a quart or 2 of oil fresh cheap filter and idle for 10-15 min... you would be amased at the crap that comes out...
