Been thinking about running some cleaner through the engine. Anyone had any success with one? Pluses, minuses...

Lucas, SeaFoam, BG?

Hey Aaron,just the thought of these types of products make me cringe.
What brings on the curiousity?

I use Seafoam in the tank just before it's time to change the filter.

reason: I put some seafoam in my CRV and it really helped with some hesitation. So, I went out and bought some PS?? and put in the CRD.

I have run Redline Diesel Fuel Catalyst several times now with good results. I usually run 1 bottle through the tank 2-3 times a year. I would stay away from anything that isnt designed specifically for diesel fuel systems.

Seafoam for me. Not just before I change the filter, but every 5000 miles.
