Okay, I just bought some SeaFoam that is in a pressurized can with a small nozzle to insert into the intake. And a can of liquid to use in the gas. Why the difference from what is in this video?

He gets a cut from YouTube by you watching the video, that's the only difference. Truth be told, seafoam isn't the ideal solution for cleaning the intake since it is immediately burned up and is concentrated in the front cylinders over the rear. The Mopar combustion chamber cleaner is a better solution since it is allowed to soak in and burn off.
Seafoam in the gas is likely snake oil. It just goes boom like gas but I'm not saying I'm not guilty of buying the advertising.

I get the same 'feel' when I do it but it's not what we think it is. The user should be cautioned as well that using these additives can (not that it necessarily will, but can) foul spark plugs. I don't know of the effects of seafoam on the oxygen sensors.

I have 200K miles on my Jeep and burn whatever gas I can find reasonably priced (cheap). During the Al-Can trip there was rarely much choice in gas. I burned a lot of questionable gas that was 85 octane, maybe even lower, and sometimes could have been months old. Now I have a tick in my engine that is loudest at the end of the fuel rail. I wanted to run something through the engine to clean it up, so figured I'd hit it with the SeaFoam based on testimonials. I seriously doubt it will fix the problem, but absolutely would not mind being pleasantly surprised. After that, it's down to serious troubleshooting, but I want to try something easy first.
