HOW TO USE SEA FOAM SPRAY
BENEFITS
HELPS YOUR ENGINE RUN CLEANER AND LAST LONGERSAFE AND EASY TO USE – NO SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED!cLEANS HARMFUL INTAKE VALVE AND CHAMBER AREA DEPOSITSCRITICALLY IMPORTANT FOR CLEANING GDI INTAKE VALVESSafe for all gasoline ENGINES – NOT FOR USE IN DIESELTREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For gas fuel injection engines: use at least 1-2 times per year to prevent harmful intake valve depositsFor carbureted intakes, use at least 1 time per year.For engine fogging, use before storage.FOR GAS FUEL INJECTION – DIRECTIONS
1. Run engine to warm intake, then turn off accessories and shut off engine.2. LOOSEN AND REMOVE INTAKE BOOT FROM THROTTLE BODY3. With Hook Guide and Cleaning Tube placed in the throttle body, direct tube nozzle end ¼” in front of throttle plate location where the throttle plate opens away from nozzle (see diagram on can).4. RE-FIT THE INTAKE BOOT OVER THE HOOK GUIDE AND THROTTLE BODY5. With vehicle in park and parking brake applied, start engine and hold RPM steady at 2,000 for the duration of the application.6. Spray continuously until contents are empty (approx. 7 minutes), then shut off the engine and remove intake boot to recover Hook Guide and Tube.7. With engine turned off, re-secure the intake boot onto the throttle body and allow engine to hot soak for 10 minutes.8. After hot soak, start and drive the vehicle under engine load for 10 minutes or longer. Apply spirited acceleration when safe to burn off hydrocarbon residues.FOR CARBURETOr INTAKES – DIRECTIONS
1. Run engine to warm up intake, then SHUT OFF.2. REMOVE AIR FILTER TO ACCESS CARBURETOR THROAT.3. WITH AIR FILTER REMOVED, START ENGINE AND PLACE TUBE NOZZLE INTO CARBURETOR THROAT.4. DEPENDING ON ENGINE SIZE, USE 2 TO 4 OUNCES SPRAYED IN BURSTS TO AVOID ENGINE STALLING.5. SPRAY A LONG BURST, SHUT OFF ENGINE AND ALLOW TO HOT SOAK FOR 10 MINUTES.6. AFTER HOT SOAK, START AND OPERATE ENGINE FOR 10 MINUTES OR LONGER.FOR ENGINE FOGGING – DIRECTIONS
1. With the engine running, insert Sea Foam Spray tube (cut to shorten if needed) into intake throat (if carburetor) or directly before throttle plate opening (if fuel injection).2. Spray a series of 3 to 5 bursts, then a final direct stream while shutting off engine. For larger engines such as autos with a carburetor intake, use 6 bursts.3. After fogging the intake, allow engine to cool & remove spark plugs.4. Insert Sea Foam Spray tube to spray each cylinder cavity.5. Before re-inserting spark plugs, crank engine to rotate pistons (key turn, or rope pull for small engines). Note: Deep Creep & Sea Foam Spray are interchangeable for chamber lubrication.SUMMARY
Sea Foam Spray is a blend of cleaning and lubricating petroleum ingredients that can be used SAFELY in all types of 2 and 4 stroke gasoline engines. Especially important for modern GDI engines, it cleans critical upper engine areas where fuel cleaners can’t reach.
Apply Sea Foam Spray through fuel injection throttle bodies to clean harmful engine deposits from intake valves and combustion chamber areas. Use Sea Foam Spray to fog engines and coat spark plug cavities to protect your engine during storage.
Sea Foam Spray does NOT contain harsh detergent or abrasive chemicals that can harm your engine or fuel system components. Help your engine run cleaner and last longer!

RELATED QUESTIONS
Can Deep Creep be used for carbon cleaning an engine?
Can I use the Sea Foam Spray in my gas tank?
Thanks for the question!
First, you can use Sea Foam Spray in your gas tank. It will act similarly to pouring Sea Foam in your gas tank and won’t hurt anything.
I’d apply the Sea Foam Spray through your air intake, though, as that is a much more cost effective way to use it. It will clean intake valve areas that a fuel additive in the gas tank can’t reach.
If you’d still like to use it in the gas tank, it’s safe and will work similarly to Sea Foam Motor Treatment.
I have a 1983 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. It runs high at times. Is it best not to spray a carburetor cleaner in it vs using sea foam in the tank?
Thanks for the question, Donald. My recommendation would be to use Sea Foam Spray through the carb and Sea Foam Motor Treatment or High Mileage in the fuel tank. If the engine still has a tendency to idle high sometimes, I’d recommend having a mechanic look at the carb. It would be a simple choke adjustment.
After using the Motor Treatment and Spray on the top engine, do you recommend changing the engine oil and oil filter afterwards?
Thanks for the question! No, you do not need to change the oil or oil filter after using Sea Foam Spray through the top end or Sea Foam Motor Treatment in the fuel.
If using Sea Foam Motor Treatment in the oil crankcase, we recommend adding it 100-300 miles before an oil change.
Is Sea Foam in a spray can the same as the liquid one with a screw cap ?
Thanks for the question! Sea Foam Spray is an aerosol version of Sea Foam Motor Treatment (the liquid can with the screw cap). It’s designed for application through the air intake to clean intake valves and critical upper engine areas where a fuel additive can’t reach.
