Default Seafoam

So i put a can of seaoam through the brake booster line. When i was driving out of my neighborhood and looked in my rear view mirror all I saw was white smoke. Couldnt see the street or the cars behind me. I drove through an intersection and there was a cop with his lights on going the other way, he came to a stop then slowly drove through the smoke. I still cant believe how much smoke there was. For about 20 minutes it was billowing out. Definetly using this on every old car i buy.

cuz the suction of the vacuum line pulls the seafoam into the combustion chamber, effectively de-carbon izing the motor, if done right

Ummm, because that's what it was supposed to do.

Edit: well, I guess it's not supposed to do that. If it does do that then you had a dirty engine. But the smoke means it's working!! [8D]

Mine hardly smoked at all when I used Seafoam. I was kinda disappointed but that actually means my motor is pretty clean.

I put it in my saturn with 180k and it smoked for a good 20 minutes. I thought the fire dept. was gonna come.
