It is an injector/throttle body/carb cleaner. Just like Berryman's B-12. I bought a bottle of the liquid ( I don't know if it comes in a spray like Berryman's does sometimes) but can dump a can in your tank to clean the fuel system or do what I did and run it into the vacuum ports on the UIM and let it just get sucked in. I made a nifty valve and tube system with some vinyl tubing I bought at Home Depot, added a valve I bought also at home depot and put the Seafoam in a used jelly far I had sitting in the kitchen. You do half in each hole, let it sit for a few minutes and then run the car until the exhaust stops smoking.
And DEFINETLY change your oil and oil filter if not your plugs too when you are done.
Next time, I will probably buy the spray Berryman's B12 and spray it into the throttle body to clean the gunk out of there too. Maybe an alternating plan would be a good idea.
Like the pics? 56K can DIE!

Very nice job. Excellent pictures.
Don't see a reason to change the plugs after that cleaning, although DEFINITELY an oil change. Gravity draws all that crap into the pan! When I finally get working on my SVT I'll be removing the upper and lower intakes anyway, so no worries. I'll probably add that little contraption in the PCV system to keep the secondaries cleaner.
I'm all for a drive down Chuckanut. We could meet at the same place as the last meet. The exit from I-5 isn't far from there. This run might be more feesable for the Canadian folks as it is much closer to home at both ends.
I'd also like to meet in BC once before the summer is out, maybe even a Portland meet. I'm not particularly interested in a Levenworth run as the drive is boring until the very end. I'll stay tuned as usual!

It probably dosn't require a spark plug change if you do it regularly, but since mine had probably NEVER been cleaned, it was a good thing. Not to mention that the plugs were shot.
We should set up the Chuckanut drive for late this month. Hey! how about the 24th?
