will this be safe

Hi guys went to the auto shop today to pick up some bits for the car while I was there came a cross a product that you spray directly into the inlet manifold to de-carb the fuel system while the engine is running.
What I need to no has anyone ever used a similar product and is it safe for a rotory .

There should be some instructions written on the can\jar. Follow them.
Fuel system cleaners can be dangerous no matter what engine you have under the bonnet.

There are ports on the intake manifold specifically for this. But there's a specific procedure for this, search for Seafoam DIY.

No about the seafoam and the ports on the side of the engine but if I was going to use it I would spray it through the breather connector on the accordion after the MAF . My thinking is it may clear any Carbon build up in the inlet manifold through to the combustion chambers.

Most of those products are junk, either worthless or potentially harmful. If you want to decarbon, look up the Mazda zoom-zoom cleaner procedure.
