DOH

I realized what I said when you said vacuum port. You are absolutely right, Sea Foam in the vacuum line won't do anything for the injector, except maybe smudge what's on the bottom. I say back to the first idea ... Sea Foam in a half tank of gas, 2 cans if you think it's that bad.

At what mileage do you all recomend cleaning injectors. My 2000 GMC Yukon has about 89,000 miles on it. Is this a service I should look into?

Others have poured it directly into a vacuum line and let the engine suck it in that way. I hear that you should change the oil after doing it that way though.
has anyone else put seafoam in the gastank?

i think somoene said not to pour it into the gas tank? is it safe?

Ive done it several times before my oil change. Plus ive sent some of the SeaFoam through the PCV line. Something like 2 cans at a time.
