Seafoam (i know how to use it)

Well I went looking for Seafoam. Couldn't find it at Crappy Tire. Is there another chemical brand that does the same thing, or perhaps a particular store in Canada that carries it? I dont think I "need" it, but I might as well see if I can't make an improvement during my tune up. Thanks

you can also use B12 Chemtool. pretty potent stuff. usually seafoam is carried at most regular auto part stores. you shouldnt have too much trouble finding it, especially in canada.

If your trying to clean out the carbon I know pouring small amounts of water down the carb works pretty good. The car has to be running of course.

Hey bud ... all the napa's in here have them ... its the only place you can get it, with taxes and stuff it comes to about 12$ a can ... There's one off of Oxford street, going east bound past fanshawe and stuff, it would be on your right hand side. Thats the closest one that I can think of in that area. I'm not sure if there's anything on fanshawepark road or anything but open up the phone book and find them.

I dont know what Canadians you've been talking to, I dont think I've called mine a wee wee since I was 3. I usually stick with the usual terms. On top of that, the gf has yet to complain
