* Which Mercedes models have you direct-fed Sea Foam, and how did that turn out (symptoms before, engine reaction during direct-feed, and performance after)?

Sorry, I've been out of town. Yes, I direct feed when I notice the engine starting to ping when I use regular gas (the B230FT computer adjusts for ping but you can feel the decrease in performance when the spark is retarded).
As stated above, B230FT, nonetheless, it is pretty much the same as the others when you get right down to it, most of the engine differences are in the head and engine management systems, not the block.
I direct fed a 300TE with good results and plan on a 560SL soon.
