    Sounds similar to carbon-clean machine we used to have at the shop where we restored British cars. Same principle as the Seamfoam, but suppose to work better. But I was never really sure how affective it was. The machine has fuel in it then you put a can of CC in and ran through fuel system, then flood till stalled, waited and then started and smoked like a bandit.


    Just looked at your link, Carbon Clean 1000' same machine only newer.

    If they don't charge you to use the machine at school I say go for it. It can't hurt anything.

    None of the cleaners like Seafoam will touch the carbon on the intake valves of an R56, but this stuff is supposed to dissolve it completely. According to my co worker, the fluid is the same stuff the Navy uses to clean out the bores of their big guns.....

    :cornut: I hope that it wasn't the same stuff used on the USS Iowa some years back blowing the turret off and killing sailors.:eek6:
