Seafoam!!!
I changed out the fuel filter on my diesel truck and treated it with Seafoam and it did a great job and now im wanting to do the Corvette. Im looking for a vacuum line that I can disconnect and put into the can and then start the car. Can anyone give me a descriptive location on where I may find a good vacuum line to use or even post some pics of how they previously completed such a task? Any help would be great! Thanks!

This stuff is great,After a year of dealing with a dead gauge and trying the Techron with no results,I broke down and tried Seafoam,after 1 can it worked partime after the second can ,It's working great ,all the time.

It only comes in one size can, that I've seen. You can use a sprayer to inject it after the Maf. Or just put a can or two in the tank. I'm picking up a daily driver C5 this weekend and when I get it back home, I'm putting one can in the tank, and spraying one into the induction to clean the TB and intake. Hope this helps.
Note: When you spray a can into the induction, do a little at a time and expect a cloud out of the exhaust.

I forgot,I let the car sit for a week with the Seafoam in the tank,don't know if that helped but I figured the longer that the sending units soaked in seafoam the better.

I use Seafoam in everything we own, Vettes, Nissans, snowblower, lawn equipment, you name it. I've started the snowblower (before I started using Seafoam) and it ran like crap, and had no power (stale gas!) didn't drain the tank, but just added Seafoam to the tank, and after a few minutes all was good again (other than having to remove the freakin' snow!) After buying it in the 16 oz (or whatever they are) cans and keeping them for proper measure I buy it in the gallon can for just over $40 and refill the smaller cans. I've never used it in anything but the "tanks" but stand fast to it's effectiveness, and forget the Stabil, Seafoam has fuel stabilizers in it as well as the detergents we all use it for in here.

Use the brake vacuum line. Put a smaller hose in the can, then run that hose into the brake line. Go slow. Suck up about half a can. Then dump then other half in the fuel tank.
Take her out and run her for a bit after that.
