How to Use Seafoam
| For a supercharged car: | |
| 1) Bring the car to operating temperature then turn it off and open the hood. |  |
| 2) Look on top of the supercharger for three vacuum lines. Pull off the center hose (not the large line or the hard line). |  |
| 3) The 'hard' part of this is pouring the Seafoam into the center port you pulled the hose from. To make it easier, take a water bottle and cut it in half. Puncture a small hole the size of the port opening near the bottom of the bottom half of the water bottle. Using electrical tape, cover the puncture you just made. Now puncture a very small hole into the tape in front of the hole on the water bottle. What we are trying to do is make a diaphragm that the port can squeeze through but no liquid can leak out of. |
 |
| 4) Push the water bottle into the port and start the car. The car may idle oddly since we've created a vacuum leak. Slowly pour some Seaform into the water bottle. The vacuum port will suck it up like the sucker at the dentist’s office. You want to pour 1/3 of the Seafoam into the engine but slowly so it doesn't stall. When you are near the 1/3rd mark, pour more Seafoam so the engine stalls itself. This will let the Seafoam soak on the pistons. |
|
| 5) Wait 5 minutes before restarting the car. As your waiting pull the water bottle from the port and reattach the tube. Clean up any Seafoam that may have dripped. |
