Seafoam

Seafoam
I have a 1999 GT Convertible with 45,500 original miles that has been sitting for over years that I have brought back to life. After many new parts and countless man hours it runs. It had a rusty gas tank (which was replaced as well as the pump & filter) with old rusty gas in the lines and through injectors so I added a whole can of Seafoam to the fuel tank that had maybe 5 gallons of fresh gas in it not reading the instructions properly. Now it has a rough idle almost like a miss and billowing out smoke. What should I do to help clear this up? Run it out before I fill up the gas tank or should I dilute it and drive it for a while? Also would this do any long term damage? I already cleaned the fouled plugs which stopped it from stalling.

Welcome to the forum.
For more technical advice,try starting a new thread in the appropriate Tech section, you'll get more responses.
As for the SeaFoam, you'll be fine with that ratio for this tank. It's supposed to be added to a minimum 8 gallons of gas, but 5 will still be fine.
What color is the billowing smoke ?

lol, but even at that ratio, it shouldn't smoke at all. Are you sure it's not just condensation in the exhaust. I don't know if it gets cool enough at night down there in the south for that though.
At any rate, if your sure it's not coolant, I'd drive it. I bet it'll clear up in a couple miles.

Yeah it's def. not condensation. I drove it up the road and there was a 10 foot smoke cloud behind. LMAO!! It's white and I know it's not a coolant smell. Has a strange chemical smell so I'm sure it's the seafoam just want to make sure it's safe to drive.
