To get the injectors you will need to seafoam the entire fuel system by pouring it in the tank...

I have used Seafoam for years on my boat and small engines. I would recommend using STP or Amsoil. Only add these to the fuel tank, never into the throttle body.

There are several threads on additives. Take the information and form your own opinion.

On carburated engines, I feed a little directly into the carb as well.
Smokes like hell, and takes a lot offluttering the throttle to keep it from dieing, but the stuff works wonders on varnish and gunk.

I have alway used it in the tank I take it down just under a 1/4 and pour the hole bottle in the tank and run it till it's almost empty, I have tried all kinds of different additives and to me seafoam is the best I had a v twin Honda that was cracking had backfires bogging I used 1/2 a bottle with two gallons or fuel and it worked great ran like new again.

Seafoam is the cure for cancer in engines I swear. I can't say enough good things about it, screw the 1/3 BS I put the whole bottle right in the Brake booster, it smokes for like 10mins but I wouldn't have it any other way. Matter of fact, I haven't done it in a long time and I think I'm gonna get some while I'm out today.

Would some one with a locked up motor please tell us about it after useing this product!There are thousands of folks useing this seafoam and no locked up motors reported yet, no one sueing the makers of this product.And the back of the can directs the buyer to put 1/3 in the brake intake line and the rest in the gas tank,and how much to mix with gas to put in the fuelinjecter cleaning device. If the gas we use is so great and clean why do injecters need cleaning?
