Was reading another forum site about using Sea Foam. Seems to be some who think it is great and some say just pour in kerosene or diesel (they are the ones who think Sea Foam will do harm). Is there a chance of damaging catalytic convertor (by sucking 1/3 of bottle into vaccum line of brake booster). Also, if 2/3 of bottle is poured into crankcase is there a chance of any internal damage - bearings, sensors, etc.?

 

What is Sea Foam and what are you trying to fix with it?

I'm seeing brake booster, crankcase, and kerosene/diesel mentioned in the same sentence.....Not sure what you're looking for.

 

From a previous post: 929 WAS running BAD (answer was)
Any vacuum line that has vacuum at it when removed goes back to the intake manifold. Once inside the intake manifold the next place it will end up is the intake valves before it enters the combustion chamber. If carbon was keeping the valves open and this was the cure then a product called sea foam works very good. See link below to what it looks like. This product is a liquid and not a spray so needs to be introduced into the intake system slowly so as not to hydrolock the engine.

Got someSea Form today - 2 cans... It is safe for oxygen sensors. Thanks babyhuey - Roy

 

Here's the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for it.

http://www.montanajacks.com/msds/seafoam-msds.pdf

It's made of Pale oil (highly refined oil), Naptha (Petroleum Ether), and IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol.)

Your car will smoke while it's burning it, but once it's cleared out there shouldn't be any lingering effects. If it cleans up deposits and shoots them out the exhaust, then great.
