Start your own thread & we'll see if we can't figure something out for you. Note the engine.

I get about 11 mpg on my 15 gallon tank but that's if I drive like grandma. My mods are listed below, so i expect terrible mpg. Oh and yes, the smog pump is a good question as stated above...mine has a big open end that looks like a hose should be attached.

Default Thanks Guys

Thanks for all the support. Right now I'm getting about 14mpg on the highway. As soon as the weather breaks I will go with the Seafoam. I used a similar product from STP back in the 80's and it worked wonders but that product isn't around anymore.

I know I have other issues to deal with I was just wanting to know what to expect when everything is right.
