anytime, no problem at all and good luck with your seafoaming, it's some good stuff just not exactly the answer to my problems. You'll find loads of people who swear by the stuff.

i never used it in the engine oil only cause i thought it would be thinned out too much.however i do us it in the gas tank and the stuff decarbonizes the engine pretty good.i us it in the fuel systems of all my vehicles and the most recent sign of it working was i dumped a can in the tank of my commuter car (beater).i changed the oil 200 miles later and alot of carbon chunks came out the filter cartridge.i never seen that before running seafoam through the ful system so i have no complaints.

Hmm i guess it all has to deal with how much gunk is in your fuel system and what kind of gas you burn in it. Honestly with today's modern oils that have so many detergents I don't think it helps that much. But by all means if you have a older car running rough it is by all means worth a shot.

i dunno i used it in my lawnmower, of all things.. sat outside for awhile in the rain, seemed to lock the motor, so stupidly (and drunkenly) i loaded up the engine with ATF through the spark plug hole. not much, maybe a quarter of a quart) but still. it unlocked the motor, but when it finally started and stopped fouling the plug, it would smoke out the neighborhood. put seafoam in thru the spark plug hole, in the oil, in the gas, and directly into the carb. when i added to the carb it died, let it sit 5 mins with it in the spark plug hole, fired up, smoked like crazy for about 10 minutes, then settled down, and voila.. no more smoke. then the spark plug popped out of the head. grr. anyways seafoam is great stuff. !!!

That's what i was trying to with that stubborn mercury piece of **** the other day but it was a victim of our neglect. But by all means it is great stuff for a lot of things.
