I use Seafoam regularly on my lawn equipment (lawmower, blower, weedwhipper, etc), and my '73 Honda CB350. I have not used it on any modern fuel injected motors, but I understand it does no harm. Definately works well with the lawn equipment. When I first put it in my weed whipper I noticed a DRAMATIC improvement within 5 minutes.

Advanced auto, A-line auto. (not Pep Boys or Auto Zone) Recently learned of it myself on here when my F-250 and my b/f F-150 were both having problems in the fuel systems, he replaced sensors and nothing work I went and found the seafoam-had to try and it worked, so I keep a can in my truck now because it is not easily found. Bout $5 a can well worth it, many uses and many ways to use it.

I've gotten mine from Napa. I think last time I was at Murray's they had started to carry it.

Very tight space - are you sure it HAS to have it- Was it a code reading or just routine maintainence?
I did an 89 460 and had my hand lodged back there sevreral times, NO FUN then come to find out it did not need it anyway-that one was perfectly fine.
While here I will ask if there is any new approach to the (seeminly contagious) fuel
and performance problems spreading amongst the vechiular communities lately?
Today was my day on my truck-Replaced ign. coil, purge valve, TPS, cap and rotor, plugs, (store says pre-gapped 0.044 not today 3 right rest not) Shawn and I both have F series and niether one is right at this time after all we've done to both of them. IDEAS WELCOME
