I did it on a 91 f150 I picked up a little while ago and I noticed a difference after a use. Another product I like very much is TKO2000 cleans the gas system very well!!

I did it this past spring. I didn't get the cloud of smoke some people get, but my truck did have a little pep to it. It's work the $7 or so for a can. I did half in the gas tank and half in the vacuum line.

Yes the seafoam deffinatly works! If you get the white smoke after you let it sit 20 mins then start it its just the carbon and dirt built up in the motor burning off...... if it dont make smoke thats even better as no junk has built up in the motor.

White smoke is the seafoam burning off. Grey or black smoke is carbon deposits.

the true way to tell that seafoam cleans your engine isn't by the smoke when you do it

It's by the performance afterwards, i've done it to my truck twice and both times I was able to notice somebody a difference afterwards. It's money well spent

In the vacuum lines it'll definately improve your idle and fuel economy, plus the smoke show is cool and it's an excuse to rev your engine \m/
