Smile Hello Member...

I use the Lucas injecter cleaner my self and have never had problems with it, but I realize that you could be having a problem?. The bottle states that it covers 25 gallons of fuel per bottle, so you did pour in way to much for that first time use.

Have you filled up your tank with gas since you put in that whole bottle ?

I agree with Angelo, you probably put too much in. Too much Seafoam in the gas tank will make the engine stumble as well. You may want to refill the tank and put in some octane booster/fuel stabilizer for 1 tank and see if you can run the rest of the injector cleaner out.

i did put the whole bottle in yes it never starts doing it until i get to half tank of gas and the lower the gas gets the worse it does it ive filled it up past half to almost full 3 times now same result it runs awesome in high rpms and only dies if i brake semi hard like kind of at a red light but if i take 500 feet to slow down nothing.
