yeah it smoked "out the nieghbor hood" wow kinda ran a little more than a half a can it it I took the booster hose and stuffed it down in the can yeah it sucked the can flat before it died so 3/4 of a can!! started up and smoked for a while, its got kinda a eye burning smell to the exhaust though no i dont huff exhaust but standing beside it smells like Im burning race fuel !! dont seem to tell a difference in its running but didnt seem to hurt a thing

I hope you let it set for about 20 minutes after it died - that's the most important part of the process is once the seafoam is spread around you have to give it time to work it's majic lol - let it break up the foreign matter..

I did this and once the engine died, i waited about 20 min. then started it, didnt really notice a difference, but then again, i dont think my engine is dirty at all... no egr, no pcv, new heads and intake...

No, it will just take longer to do the cleaning process.

I read somewhere that this stuff can foul your plugs and to wait till you're ready to replace them before using it...but IDK. I only have 16k on my truck so I'll let ya know in a couple years.

i wouldnt even bother using it until you hit 50k.ive never had a car under 80k. pour it in cleans it right out. whoever said change fuel filter right after is right. as for plugs never had a problem fouling.its gotten me thru some emissions testing, im in mass they are tough on that up here.

Are you supposed to just jam the hose into the can? I thought that was a no-no since it could hydrolock theengine? Just wunnerin'
