if you see all the carbon fly out it def seems like its doing something and
I have prob done this procedure a total of 15 times with 0 negative results, meaning from spark plugs to O2s, they have never failed unusually after treatments either. In my opinion the bgk44 or whatever is prob the best for the gas tank. I have also wondered how much the O2s like it but seafoam claims it is harmless to them.

Yeah, I just envision that carbon crap going through the cats and stickking all over the O2's.
I don't know of anyone that's had issues either, it's more the thought that bothers me.

Re: Engine Carbon Clean/flush
I envision a nightmare: some really small piece of carbon (during treatment) getting caught on a valve stem or seat and really causing big trouble.
Maybe at 50k miles. I use 91 octane, highest available here in SF bay area as far as I know.

Try AutoRX
I do not sell the stuff but I am a big user. I have five cars and all are high mileage. I use regular and cuts down on the burning oil. Also took a part an old saab engine I was rebuilding had a great effect.
