Why the Chevron System Fuel Cleaner? Can't you just dump the remaining Seafoam in the gas tank instead?

Seafoam = Death of Engine.

Just get a little fuel system cleaner @ Napa and throw it in your tank. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER use any oil additive... EVER. It destroys seals and causes oil burn.

Only way to "clean" the engine is to take it apart.

as far as i know, you're wrong about never using any oil additive. the additives in the oil are suppose to clean your engine. when you change your oil and it comes out dirty, that means that the additives in the oil is doing its job, which is to clean!

sure taking your engine apart will clean it better than the oil. but what about some people that don't know how to take it apart? of course they're going to constantly keep changing their oil when it is dirty. and after you take apart the engine to clean it, its still going to get dirty again and you're going to have to rip it apart again. -_-
