Hi, I put sea foam fuel cleaner in my tank today at half tank of gas inside it. Should I keep drivint till its near empty to get the cleaner fully consumed?
Thanks
If you want to clean your fuel system by additives, use Chevron Techron (which has some PEA) when the tank is near empty (1/4) and then add 1 bottle of Chevron Techron and fill up the tank with premium gas (preferable the V-power Nitro+ from Shell). Do the same for the next fill up.
Just pour it in through the main vacuum line going to the brake booster with the engine running and pour so much that it stalls the engine out. Let it sit for about 15 minutes. Pour the rest of the can into a near empty fuel tank and give it the old Italian tune up on the way to the gas station. It will smoke a lot.
aren't there directions on the bottle?

Dont have bottle anymore. But site is generic just says how often to do it and how much sea foam fluid per gas tank capacity. I personally think its a good idea to let all the gas out before re
well it says 2 ounces per gallon. if you fill up now you'll dilute it. I would empty the tank first.
@mountainmanjoe
You mean empty by running the car to E or physically emptying fluid from gas tank?
running the car
I believe you just drive like normal, because either way, all of it is going to be consumed. I put it in my tank ran it like normal.

Did you notice better fuel mileage? Im feel like it's accelerating a bit worse now
I would expect less power right now. Engines weren't made to run on sea foam. Wait until it all runs through.
Afterwards hard to tell, but if its still in the tank and accelerating worse, let it all burn off, then fill up, and see how it does, if it is all gone, that would be very peculiar.
@thegoodolcountryboy
Ok ill let u know thanks
@thegoodolcountryboy
hey re-fueled works normal so far
I don't trust seafoam at all. I've heard so many complaints when using it, such as the terrible acceleration mentioned here and even white smoke spewing out of the tailpipe. I suggest using Techron fuel system cleaner. It actually works (I've used it for many years now) and does not hinder engine performance while it's burning in the engine. You can even use multiple bottles in one fill-up for a more concentrated cleaning.
