Do additives like Seafoam or Lucas do anything?

[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2981849, member: 15054"] I have used BG system intake cleaner that is sucked through the intake vacuum hose. And I used sea foam the same way.. took 2 cans of sea foam to do what 1 can of BG will do. Now what I was curing was a carbon knock. The cars came in with a horrible knock that sounded like a rod knocking. This was at an idle mind you. The sea foam and BG cured the vehicles. Only thing in the tank i have ever seen do anything is drip gas.. and not all drip gas acts the same. The cars with carbon knock had 5x more miles than your vehicle. You should not need to add anything to the tank. Lucas oil treatment is bad news. It creates foaming in oil.. research it.. that is not good at all. I have had many fuel injected vehicles and none of then ever had a dirty tank or injector. the corolla just turned 300,000 miles. The pump gasoline has a lot of additives to keep the system clean. if you drive it often and maintain it there should not be any build up. Now if you park it for a couple weeks and drive it 5 miles then park it again,, all bets are off. And some of that direct injection stuff does not apply to the above.. that is a terrible set up in my book. [/QUOTE]
