6.5 cleaning intake

[RD400HP]

Is there any problem's with pouring any cleaner down the intake of one of our motors. I bought a can of Sea Foam and it says with a warm running motor to pour 1/3 of a pint down the intake then turn motor off for 5 minutes then start it back up ,tune up in a can.

that's gasser talk. a diesel is throttled by fuel. if you dump a fuel source into the intake(which just pulls in air) then the engine will run away on said fuel, since it's a fuel source that is not precisely metered and injected at the correct time. It's a bad idea. Just dump it in your fuel tank.

Well that makes sense Dave. I thought I remembered reading a thread here on the forum that a member had done this but I have been wrong before.

Sea foam added to fuel yes, poured in the intake no

I would not even dump it in the fuel. That thing is alcohol, they call it IPA.
Alcohol and diesel fuel does not mix too well.

However, it may just evaporate before it goes anywhere though.
