Default Seafoam help fast please!

Hey guys, I just picked up 2 cans of seafoam to run through my car today. I'm going to change my oil but first I want to run the seafoam through the crankcase oil. How long do I leave it in there for? Im also going to put some in through my brake booster and some in through my gas tank. Your help is greatly appreciated!!!

I don't think the instructions on the can really specify how long to leave it in the crankcase. They act like you can leave it in forever if you wanted to...although I wouldn't.

I'd pour a bottle of it into your crank case, let it run for about 15-20 minutes, then change the oil. Pour a can of it into your gas tank. And suck a can of it into your motor. Should clean it up quite a bit.

Well this is what I did fellas. I sucked a little more than half a can in through the brake booster then poured the rest into the crankcase. I let it run for 15-20 minutes afterwards then changed the oil. I also poured half of a can into my gas tank. When I was driving to my gf house just now I was still seeing some white smoke coming out of my car, is this normal?

It is definitely normal. Depending on how hard you flog the bitch, you could be seeing smoke for another few miles.

Oh yeah, you'll be alright, just let it run for a while. Was the car acting any better after you ran all of that stuff?

On your vacuum tree, it's the line that is abbreviated B/B (or something like that).
