Seafoam and F-53 V-10: Trying to find a Vacuum line

Arch has the right idea but using Seafoam is not the only way to use "his" procedure. For an F-53/80 gallon chassis purchase 4 quarts of cheap ATF. Add it to your fuel tank, top off your tank and head on down the road. The detergents in the ATF will do a great job of cleaning the injectors, back side of the intake valves and piston crowns. It is one of the oldest fuel system / upper end cleaners known to mechanics and it is cheap. $20.00 buys your ATF. The Seafoam would cost around $70.00.

p.s. Marvel Mystery oil was just a thinned ATF and it was purchased by millions of people as a fuel system cleaner and air tool lube.

You might want to "ask Jim" for the definitive answer.

I use Sea Foam in EVERY tank full of fuel.... 1oz Sea Foam/1 gallon of gas. Cheap insurance for today's bad gasoline.

Sorry, I can't really help with the vacuum line. But, I would say unless your engine is running poorly I would just add a couple of cans to the gas tank and take a trip. When you get back, change the fuel filter in case the treatment loosened up some gunk in the tank and is now in the filter.

My Seafoam treatment consists of adding six cans to my gas tank once a year and go on a 450 mile trip.

During that trip I run the generator for at least an hour.

I'm guessing you missed the part about hydraulic power brakes eh?

If you have power brakes you have a big vacuum line to draw the Seafoam in until it quits, let it sit for 1/2 hr and then start, will be a little smoky for a few minutes. That's how I got it in the motor.

Because there are delicate and expensive sensors in the intake such as throttle position etc. that would be damaged by any solvents.

Why not thru the intake with the engine running and the air filter removed?

sea foam is a real good gunk cleaner. I use in my boat motors and lawn equipt, I just put in the fuel tank and drive.

Seems like an obvious question: Why would you put Seafoam in your motor?
