Just use it through a vacuum line. I've run it through all the other places and noticed nothing. There's a vacuum line under your throttle body. Run it through there.
 






ok i ran it through the brake booster line yesterday but onlt noticed a little bit of smoke nothing like what the other post shows in the pictures posted!! but a little, as far as that line under the throotle body how do you recomend getting the fluid in that hose i mean that hose is very small!! i had a little bit of trouble getting the funnel into the brake booster line!! do you think after running it once through the brake booster line i should still run in through the throttle body line???

Extend the vacuum line with a rubber hose that'll give you a seal when you connect the two and stick it in the can...let it suck the seafoam.

Just make sure you idle up to keep it running.

I think mines addicted to it...it takes it in the gas tank. :p
 






yeah i was supprised when i had teh brake booster line off and it was running it was running rough but as soon as it was getting some of the sea foam it idled fine till i stoped pooring it that is!! so any idea on the size of a hose or anything else i need to do that??

Hey, huskyfan, I'm having trouble discovering which line you mean. Where does it start?

Peace (and thanks),

It's right under the throttle body. Pull off your intake tube to get to it. I'm not sure where it starts but it connects right under the TB. You wanna buy a foot of tube in this size, pull the stock tube off the TB, plug in your new tube and let it suck the sea foam. I rev the engine to around 2000 RPM as it's sucking so it doesn't suck too little or die.
