Ok some please fill me in on the hair tonic thing. What does it do and how much do you use per tank?? Seems odd putting it in the desiel won't hurt the engine?/

Have never tried it but if it works anything like their carb cleaner and bug be gone products then it should be pretty darn good. Tried the bug be gone for the first time a couple of weeks ago and boy oh boy was I surprised... Made the front of ye old truck just clean as a whistle.

Seafoam will cause a motor runaway if poured down the intake. It was talked about here some time back. It acts like fuel so the govenor wont control the motor speed. I understand it will clean the oil the system but I wouldn't use it on a high mileage motor because if it breaks loose some crud and plugs up the piston oil cooling jets the motor will burn down. Some here add it to a tank of diesel without any problems too. Just don't pour it down the intake..... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]
