I would use VERY small doses or you'll start to break stuff. Tried it on a rental car many, many years ago and by the time we got it back to the airport rental station it didn't sound good !

I noticed that most of the vehicles, if not all, were showing some age and probably suffering from dirty fuel systems and carbon buildup. I wonder if the results would have been the same or even better with Seafoam.

Exactly! Acetone will destroy just about every type of seal in the fuel system. :eyerole

Guys, thanks for the feedback. I do have a friend who is using the stuff in a relatively new car so it will be interesting to see what happens. Have told him
the feedback that I received here. If it sounds to good to be true then it probably is. I would never do that to any of my vehicles but if fuel costs continue the upward spiral I suspect that there will be a lot of "snake oil formulas" out there.
