I am pretty positive I read something here somewhere that using any kind of fuel additives in a GA16DE was a No No.

If you are thinking about trying Sea-Foam, you may want to make sure first. Hate to see you have problems as a result.

It is said that Seafoam + fuel additives is a nono. Seafoam itself is not an additive, just a carb cleaner. It RESTORES horsepower that was taken away over time due to wear and carbon buildup on the internals of the engine. It's also said on the label and from other peoples that it's safe for your o2 sensors.

RESURECTION!!!

I've used it twice in my car. Once just in gas, and once in gas and crank case. When you use it in the crank case, you're supposed to change the oil immediately though... (which I did.) It seemed to help power and stuff on that tank. I think the stuff just burns better. I'm too afraid to get a vacuum line and suck it up because I'm worried that some spark will get out through the line and blow my hand off. (Bad experiences with carburators and starter fluid.)

Which line do you guys use?

just did an oil change this weekend
and did a seafoam clean out
(use full can of original seafoam, and 1/2 can of deep creep)

>disconnect intake
>sprayed about 1/4 can SeaFoam Deep Creep into intake manifold
>reattatched intake
>started car
>removed intake while holding the throttle slightly open to keep the car running
>sprayed another 1/4 can deep creep into the intake manifold while the car was running, continued spraying until car died
>let sit for approx 10mins
>reattached intake and start car...let car run for 5 mins
(mass amounts of white smoke will pour from your exhaust, this is normal...its doing its job and cleaning out the deposits in your intake)


>added 1/2 can SeaFoam to the oil
>ran motor for approx 5 mins
>let sit for approx 20 mins
>drained oil/seafoam mix
>filled with Mobil 1 5w30 (mmmmm)


>added last half of seafoam to full gas tank

I want to do Seafoam on my 200SX SE Beater, i have never done it for this car before, and im trying to figure out where i can inject it.

I did it many times on my other car an Accord V6, where i disconnect a tiny vacum hose in the back of the intake manifold and just dip the hose into the can of seafoam slowly and it would just suck it up.

Question is, which hose would be able to do that on a GA16. or do i just have to get Seafoam Deep Creep and spray it into the throttle body while its running.

Well, seems as if I shouldn't use it seeing as I've got 207k on my engine. . .
