not much smoke

I used seafoam through my vacuum line a few days ago and mine hardly smoked at all. Almost half a can waited and then started it and it wouldnt smoke at all at idle and only spit out little puffs when I gave it gas. Does this mean I had no buildup to clean out or what. Is my truck just special like that.....

A little warning about the gas tank procedure - It works very well indeed , it will clean the tank and pack the filter, you must change your filter pronto, to steer clear of this adverse effect. I ran 1 can per tank of high test with a new filter to increase the flow once it has gone through that tank of fuel. Swapped out with another fuel filter after and my previous filter (new before that tank of fuel) - you should have seen the crap that came out with a compressed air back-flow. The stuff works well but, you must keep this in mind. I have posted this before when someone had this prob after doing the same. A new filter then fixed his problem and supports my findings with this procedure.

Sucking up through the booster , foreign matter is incinerated - just a cool way to put it lol

Good Luck!!
