Seafoamin the 3.0 Were do I put it in?

[Frey7190]

So I have decided for my 65k service I will seafoam it, in hopes of cleaning it out a bit.. My question is were (which hose) do I tap into so I can stick the seafoam in?? I saw the 1.8t had a nifty little hose ppl go through, but my 3.0 doesn't have that pipe, so what do us 3.0'ers put the seafoam in?

Thanks

Here a pic of the engine:

BUMP!! Hello!! I need an answer Im doing this in an hour or two!

Don't you just put it in the crankcase for oil? If you are cleaning the engines. Here, I hope this helps:


SEA FOAM MOTOR TREATMENT for Gas Engine Applications

100% Pure Petroleum
Use in All Engines in All Seasons
2 Cycle, 4 Cycle, and Diesels
Treats 3 Critical Areas: Gas Tank, Fuel Systems, and Crankcase

* Cleans fuel injectors
* Cleans carburetor jets
* Cleans carbon
* Stabilizes fuels
* Upper cylinder lube
* Removes moisture in fuel
* De-icer
* Frees sticky lifters
* Frees sticky rings
* Removes moisture in oil
* Cleans P.C.V. systems
* Cleans catalytic converter odors
* Oxygen sensor safe



How Many Mechanics Use SEA FOAM
In Tune-Up of 4 Cycle Gasoline Carbureted or Fuel Injected Engines
Autos, Trucks, and Tractors

1. With engine warm, slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through carburetor or throttle body throat. (If vehicle is port injected slowly pour SEA FOAM through direct manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line.) This will pull SEA FOAM down on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve carbon. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. If severe carbon build up is apparent, use more Sea Foam as previously directed. Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time.
2. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint into oil crank case to clean rings, lifters, dirty parts and remove moisture.
3. Pour 1/3 to 1 full pint into fuel tank to clean injectors, carburetor jets, fuel lines and remove moisture.
4. Immediate Results: Smoother idle, increased R.P.M.'s better throttle response and improved performance. See label on can for detailed results for use in each area.

FUEL TANK, CARBURETOR, INJECTION and OIL CRANKCASE.
For Peak Performance, Use SEA FOAM Every 2,000 to 5,000 Miles

* A 100% pure petroleum product for use in all gasoline and diesel type engines, both 2 and 4 cycle. OXYGEN SENSOR SAFE.
* Cleans dirty engine parts internally by removing harmful gums, varnish and carbon. WORKS AND PERFORMS INSTANTLY.
* Removes moisture from oil crankcases and fuel tanks.
* Stabilizes and conditions fuels. Use for engine storage.
* Cure hesitations, stalls, pings and rough idle due to carbon buildup.
* Helps pass emissions test. EPA Registered.

When Used Thru Injection or Carburetor

* Cleans carbon build up
* Cleans intake valves and pistons
* Gives smoother idle
* Cleans catalytic converter odors
* Cures hesitations and pings
* Restores power and pickup
* With warm engine running, SLOWLY pour 1/2 pint through carburator, throttle body or direct manifold vacuum line that will feed ALL CYLINDERS. Possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. Be sure exhaust is well ventilated. Fumes will be extreme for a short period of time.
* For use in injector cleaning machines, use 50% SEA FOAM and 50% fuel.
* Fill diesel filters with SEA FOAM to clean injectors fast.

When Added to Crankcase (Oil)

1. Frees sticky lifters and rings
2. Increases R.P.M.'s vacuum and compression
3. Cleans dirty parts
4. Removes moisture
5. Cleans PCV valve systems

One pint treats 10 quarts of oil (avg. 1 1/2 ounce per quart).

When Added to Fuel Tank

* Cleans fuel injectors and carburetor jets
* Cleans carbon as you drive
* Lubricates upper cylinders
* De-ices and removes moisture
* Diesel full conditioner and anti gel
* Stabilizes fuel

One pint treats 8-25 gallons of fuel (average 1 ounce per gallon).

In Injector Cleaning Machines

Add a 50/50 blend of fuel and SEA FOAM into injector cleaning machine. Run directly through the fuel rails to clean injectors fast. Add SEA FOAM to your fuel tank to clean injectors as you drive.

manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line.)

Ya were is this line?

[Ultra B6]

ive been trying to figure out the same thing for some time now with no luck.. hopefully someone can answer it !!

[skeeball]

I believe the vacuum line you are looking for is under the front-most engine cover. I'm not 100% sure since my vac system looks nothing like stock anymore. Search over on AW for which vac line the 2.8 guys use when seafoaming.

Tyler might also know. I think he did this recently.

[Ill 3.0]

yeah, I'm not exactly sure which line is which on stock. Take more pics of your engine with the engine covers off (near front and also over TB). If I get a chance I'll try to look up some diagrams.

^ Ftw!

[Dolphin18T]

Only 50-100 miles in the crankcase???

I recommend AutoRx for the crankcase. Worked great for me.

[Papachristou]

its never good when a man has to ask "where do i put it in?"

[swrt83]

OMG! This is f*ckin gold.. I was looking for this all day..

[BSIXER]

Here you go..

What is the order to all of this? Obviously put 1/4 in for the crank case 50-100 miles before my next oil change, but what about putting it in the gas tank and in the other hose pictured on top..Do I do it all at the same time, or do I wait after the 50-100 miles then do the rest(gas tank, other hose) before I change my oil?

[04a430]

put about 1/3 in the oil. then run it for a day or 2. then change oil. you might wanna do this right before you need your oil changed. I have yet to do the PCV valve/vaccum line, but i would assume that there will be a hose coming off one of the valve covers feeding into the throttle body. again, i just bought my 3.0 so i haven't really snooped around yet. as far as the gas tank, i usually put in about 1/3 in there as well. with the whole can you should be able to do all 3. HTH

thats what she said

[PCYC]

Can we get some more pics of the line we fill with 100% petroleum...aka seafoam??

[jsoverson]

Here you go..

Aww man. Does anyone have this pic anymore? It's not available anymore and there it apparently was the keystone in this discussion.

[nein-reis]

Yeah... I would like to know also!

[nezach]

This is where i put it.



Auto cars will also have brake booster connecting there.

[PCYC]

alright thanks guys

[jdogg]

All over her chest!

Oops wrong post...

[Frey7190]

So does that brake booster line get the entire crankcase wet with sea foam?? Cuz on my explorer (v6 4.0) it only would get sucked into the three of the six chambers.. leaving me with three dirty ones and three clean ones lol... I guy on the BMW forms told me that when I used it on my 04 330Ci to remove the sparkplugs and put a little (1/2 a tablespoon or so) into each of the spark plug holes... I did that and then turned that bimmer over and I got the smoke show, and hopefully a clean engine lol...

[needmovies]

This is where i put it.

hey sorry for the necro, and this is probably a stupid question, but do I just cut off that clamp on there and replace with a regular hose clamp after seafoamin my car?

[NYsNumba1man]

Any updates on how this came out? Want to do it to my 03 3.0 and at 191k it might make it run a bit better.
This doesn't harm the 02 sensors or anything else right?

I did mine last night and took it for a spin, ok so far. I got the smoke but not as much as the ones I've seen on youtube. I also didn't use the hose on the pic on this thread. I used this one instead:

I didn't drive it to work today though since the PS fluid is low. I'll grab some fluid after work, fill it up, and drive it to work tomorrow.

[customa4]

For a gas treatment pick up a can of BG44K from a dealership for $20. It's the best $20 I've spent on my car. They also have an oil treatment but I haven't used it. I did put half a can of seafoam in the oil and ran the car for about 20 minutes before changing the oil.
