I haven't used that one but I have used seafoam and it works very well, but the sea-foam intake cleaner came as a spray bottle.

I am guessing the fuel system cleaner is probably the same thing if not very close to what sea-foam is.
Where is the instructions telling you to pour the intake cleaner?

There's no real instructions on how to use it just abounch of warnings and danger and incase of fire instructions but nothing on how to use it I know the other bottle goes in the gas Tank but I was thinking the same as the sea foam in the break booster line but not sure if it goes there.

Yeah that's where I poured the sea foam, I would do it there too.

Have a friend help you keep the car alive while you pour it.

I have always sucked seafoam through a vacuum hose on the intake manifold utilizing a stock hose, with the engine running. Depending on which hose you use you may need to cap the port left open by the hose you are using. I use one of the ports on the throttle body or on the plenum of the manifold. iirc the instructions on the bottle say to use half a bottle (8 oz) per cleaning. After 8oz have been sucked into the engine, shut it down for a few minutes to let it do its magic then start the engine and conservatively bring the rpm up (2-4k rpm) and wait till your exhaust is clear again (it will be thick white smoke for a while) I recommend thinking about where you do the treatment due to the quantity of smoke and noise of reving the engine, I have used out-of-the-way parking lots mostly. It takes me 15-20 minutes on average to clear the engine of the seafoam. Hope this helps!
