Matthew has an excellent "How to" for Sea Foam.

I ran across this article in an agricultural magazine.

The author uses a GM chemical with a drip tool to instill the engine and fuel injector cleaner. It is available on Amazon - don't forget to use the Amazon link on the homepage. https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-88861803- ... B00BK7LR36
Also, a short article from GM on how to use the engine/fuel injector cleaner. http://www.autoserviceprofessional.com/ ... -hydrolock

DISCLAIMER: I have not used this product. Also, looks like the part number has been updated from 8881802 to the new number 88861803.

This article from Hemming's Motor News also describes the procedure.
