How to clean a gasoline fuel injection air intake with Sea Foam Spray

[Music] hey everybody this is Brian with seafoam official in this video we're going to show you step by step how to clean a fuel injected gasoline intake using seafoam spray top engine cleaner a can of seafoam motor treatment and the screwdriver the first thing we do is add a cleaning dosage of SE fo motor treatment to the fuel tank this tank has about 8 or n gallons so I'm going to add a whole can all I do is open and pour the whole can into the fuel tank remember that seafoam is made from highly refined petroleum it cannot harm any engine and you cannot add too much of it in fact the more seafoam you add to fuel the better it cleans we're all done here now we're ready to show you how to clean the intake with seafoam spray the first thing we do is warm the engine to operating temper and turn off all the accessories we've been driving this truck so the intake area is hot and ready to go always make sure you do this with the vehicle safely parked and in a well ventilated area the next thing we do is locate where the air intake boot attaches to the throttle body what we need to look for is where the air flows into the engine this is my air intake boot this is my engine this is where the intake boot attaches the engine that's my throttle body I just loosen this up and pull it off and I'm looking right at my throttle plate another thing to be aware of is the mass airflow sensor never apply the spray before the mass airflow sensor this one's way over here way Upstream but sometimes they're down here just make sure you never spray toward the mass airflow sensor let me show you a clue why we recommend an intake cleaning like this at least one or two times a year especially for gasoline direct injection engines or GDI engines where fuel additives don't wash over the intake valves if you've never cleaned your engine's intake it's covered with this black filthy oil and fuel residue oil comes up as vapor from the crankcase ventilation fuel comes as backwash Vapor or evaporates from the chamber to form these soft Hydro carbon residues to form all over inside the intake this is why seafoam spray was invented the next thing I do is place the hook guide on the throttle body so the cleaning tube sprays about 1/4 inch in front of where the throttle plate opens away from the nozzle once I have the tube adjusted and set I'm ready to reseal the boot over the throttle body at this point I'm going to instruct my helper to start the vehicle and hold the accelerator at 1,000 RPM over idle speec while I spray the full can of seafoam spray into the intake think about this I'm delivering a high concentration of petroleum cleaning solvency through the intake in a matter of four to 5 minutes I'm all done with this can so I signal my helper to shut off the engine all I have to do now is remove the hook guide and tube and secure the intake boot to the throttle body while the engine hot soaks so there you have it we showed you how to use seaf foam spray to clean the intake on this fueling injected gasoline engine we let our chamber hot soak for 10 minutes now the last thing I do is I start the engine I dry for 5 to 10 minutes to burn off all those hydrocarbon residues and remember we also have a cleaning dosage of seafoam in the fuel tank that's going to continue to work through the injectors to continue to clean the chamber while we have it in the tank until next time this is Brian with seafoam official we hope you learned something thank you for watching [Music]
