Welcome to FTE!!!

Did you put it in the gas or directly into the intake? What kind of improvements did you see?

i agree. I run SeaFoam through everything I own once a year. My Ranger, my Aerostar, my Explorer, my 3wheeler, and even my boat (which is a 2 stroke). I fell in love with the stuff years ago. I first discovered it when I was having troubles with my old motorcycle carbs, things would need cleaned every spring. I started using SeaFoam the first tank of gas every spring and never had to clean the carbs again. Good stuff.
I always just add it to the gas, never heard of running it through the intake...hmm may have to try that on the 200,000 mile Aerostar.

SEAFOAM is a very good product.I think it is made in three forms.The fuel/injector cleaner can go in the tank or into a large vac line like the brake vac line only 1/2 can.Trans tune 1/2 can a 100 miles or so before fluid change the other 1/2 can after change.I would hesitate to use this in older poorly maintained trannys.Sometimes the gunk is the only thing keeping them going.Fuel stablizer add a couple of ounces to fuel for storage,like lawnmowers,snowblowers.

One of the nice things about running lots of cleaner of any brand through the intake is that you can look forward to replacing your spark plugs . As for what to do with the JB, I'd suggest mixing with coke, 7-up, or using a shot glass and nothing else .

Seafoam is pale oil, napatha, & isopropyl alcohol!!!!

On the JB, if you're a glutton for punishment, pour a shot glass full, then sink it in a beer mug of your favorite brew on tap. Chugalug the brew, at the bottom you get the shot of JB.

It's called a Depth Charge!!!!

Most folks don't stay conscious long enough to finish the second one LOL

You definately don't want to do this & try to drive!!!!
