Use caution not to ingest too quickly due to potential hydro-lock issues.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"><td>d</td> <td>Shut engine off and allow it to soak for one hour.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"><td>e.</td> <td>Start engine, allow engine to ingest the remainder of the Motorcraft Carburetor Tune-up Gleaner.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"><td>f.</td> <td>Remove vacuum line and re-install canister purge line.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"><td>g.</td> <td>Road test vehicle at 3500 RPM for 2-3 miles.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"><td>h.</td> <td>Repeat above procedure two times for a total of three times.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"><td>i.</td> <td>Change oil and filter. </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"><td>3.</td> <td>Review the customers' driving habits. The recommended drive cycle should include daily periods of engine operation above 3,000 RPM, such as a brisk acceleration from a stop position. This will break/burn the carbon off the piston head. </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"><td>4.</td> <td>Use regular unleaded fuel, 87 Octane. Mid-grade and Premium fuels may increase the probability of carbon buildup, leading to a knock noise.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Interesting..i wonder what the aftermarket equivalent of this chemical would be.
This job must be the same thing they charge like $100 for, at places like NTB, pepboys, etc.
