I got mine at Home Depot -- Wal-Mart may have them cheap too.

Here's the instructions on how to do it. Pretty simple, just remove the foam insert, get some screw-in hose nipple connectors (often in a package set) and hook it up. I dump mine out at each oil change.

Mr. Mullet: I'm glad a respected mechanic does the 1/3 trick as well. I heard about the cop-car water treatment, but I trust Seafoam for the lube and combustion. I generally dump it in, feather the throttle, and dump in a bunch to let it stall and sit for 5-10 minutes. I explained to my neighbors what the "fire" was all about when I first did it, though
