The guru has come of age. Seafoam is here.

Autozone sells it.
Pour 1/2 or even a whole can in the gas tank after filling. You can also get a hose, and suck 1/2 can into the intake through a vacuum. You have to be careful not to let it go to fast or you'll hydrolock the car.

Just like any additive. Put it in the tank and drive the car normally.

When you're sucking it into the intake, that's when you rev it. And make sure you don't do it too fast.

It can mist an 02 sensor on an LT1 if you suck it up through the intake and may or may not throw a code.

seafoam in the red and white can that is for bad gas, put a hold can in, it will take awhile maybe the whole tank of gas for it to work right. Seafoam dries up the water in the gas but it's not a over night thing. When my car started running fun I had a full tank of gas and I put 2 cans of seafoam in. We have a really big problem with the gas stations puttong gas in to make it last aliddle longer.

Love the "stuff". Driving 20000 miles a year, I use it one or two times a year.(the above instructions for use are correct)

Also use it in my power generator. (hurricanes/loss of electricity)
