Hi.

You'll be changing a lot more than just your fool filter if you decide to use this retarded excuse for a cure-in-a-can :lol:

Lots of dudes & dudettes use this chit, but then again there's one born every minute, so that accounts for a lot of them :D

" ~Oh, Jbrew..!!~"

Gas goes in your gas tank.
Oil goes in your crankcase.
Air goes in your intake.
Beer goes in your belly.
Nothing else.

Cheers :beers:

Now you have me woried:eek:

Hi. I'm just getting started :lol: .

Keep searching and you'll find a few more actually factual discussions on why it's generally not a good idea to put this (& other) stuff in your internals.

Best decarb treatment is the walnut shell process used by Ford.

Don't use it, & you'll have less to worry about.

There is no cure-all in a container. That kind of thinking I thought went out of favour when guys stopped running around the countryside selling 'magic elixirs' from the back of their horse-drawn wagons ... but apparently not. :eek:

Never used it in a car/truck, but it works wonders in 2 stroke boat motors and dirt bikes (especially if you run a castor blend oil). But, for boats and bikes, a can of de-carb works even better.

Don't let MeGaDillweed scare yuh - Seafoam's been a great product for allot of people.

Hey bubba you over look something?:devil:

Thanks jbrew just did not want anything to go bad:thumbsup: to cold to chang filter now

a treatment every 30-40k is all u need. one treatment lasts awhile. the 4.6 does seem to burn clean. so ive only used it on cars with more than 80k. cleaned them right out never a problem.

If you run it through your tank, do what Keith said - change the filter right after you go thru that tank fuel or ASAP.

My cousin is a chevy tech and they used to offer a "3 pack" engine cleaner. It consisted of a butterfly/intake cleaning with carb cleaner, a gas additive, and a product very similar to seafoam sucked in the brake booster line. Chevy did not seem to feel this could damage anything as others here have said. I have also been a big fan of sea foam over the years and used it on probably 6-8 vehicles numerous times on each. Never had a single problem caused by the sea foam and many ran much better after the treatment.

I was hopeing to not haft to mess with fitler in the cold dont know if i can get it off and what kind to get?

Btt

I don't have the numbers in front of me. Motocraft products are choice, on the fuel filter (not oill filter) you can use Fram as well. Fram fuel filters are okay , but as far as oil filters - Motorcraft or Wix.

Why would you have to change the fuel filter after using seafoam through the gas tank? The tank is polyethelene or some such plastic and I have never heard of carbon buildup in a gas tank. What exactly is seafoam going to dislodge that will clog the filter or do to otherwise render the filter useless?
