used to run it through my 90 f150s pcv once a year. Was easy because it only had 1 o2 sensor to worry about. But good Lord the clouds of white smoke that resulted.

I am. Put the first half down the carb last week, put the rest in the tank with some gas today. We'll see. I still have some dieseling. Hopefully it'll go away.

What problems have you fixed with it?

I mean, it's a general cleaner. So while I might not notice much, I did see a shitload of white smoke come out the back.

Seafoam isn't as great as everyone says it is. It's just a mixture of naptha and isopropyl alchohol.

It is very hard on rubber components and can attract moisture. It is also possible to drop valve seats or crack valves if you use it with an intake vacuum line due to the temperature change as it vaporizes.

I think a cleaner made with PEA (like Techron) might be safer to use. PEA is what they use as a detergent for top teir gasoline.

In the tank not the carb.

I know, I know. Rest is in the tank now. If it's still dieseling I will just buy another can and tank of gas.

Good. I think it is funny how I told everyone about seafoam and now everyone is using it.
