same here....i just stumbled across this thread and was heading to the part store anyway so i picked some up and added it. 2/3 gas tank and 1/3 oil. let it sit for about 5-10 min and fired it up. drove it for about 5 minutes let it sit for 5-10 while i got some chinese, then drove it for another 5. drove it hard the last five or so minutes just to get home and not a whiff of smoke. 172,000 miles on it and not a trace. i dont know what that means but w/e. just thought it was interesting.

Default Seafoam Question

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.
