Will Sea Foam Kill O2's? (mixxed with gas)
hey guys,
I just got new 02's for my car and plugs(not installed yet). since the hold ones took a **** and im replacing the plugs as well.
But if i run the sea foam through my gas, mix it with my gas, will it kill my 02's that way? Or is it safe. I know if you do it any other way the smoke can kill the 02's and i would hate to have to go through ANOTHER set! These damn things arnt cheap haha.

As far as putting it in your gas. It just say to pour it in there and then fill up the tank, then just drive around.

One of the common mistakes people assume about seafoam is that just pouring it through your engine is the best way to use it. The best way is to pour it through something like the brake booster and then shut the engine off. Think about it, seafoam flashes really easy so it doesn't do a good job cleaning things like the pistons, it just burns off and goes out the tail pipe. With the engine off the seafoam can sit and eat away at the carbon that has built up.

Yes do a search on it. Also if you do plan to run it through the engine, through the other ways make sure you dont pour to much to fast. Hydrolock = bad
