i am totaly convinced,i'm not one to believe in additives,but i was standing in line at autozone and seen some at the counter and thought to myself hmmmm why not what the hell,added it right there at autozone,didn't really pay attention then a couple days later it dawned on me the motor sounded alot quieter ran alot smoother even at idle sounded really clean,just feels better thru the gas peddle,thats my experience,and yes i will use it again i'm sold

But I wouldnt call it an additive. I would think its technically a cleaner since its not meant to be done all the time or left in there, which an additive would be. Its meant to be run as a cleaning treatment through one cycle of gas or right before doing an oil change to free the junk, etc. And it IS a GREAT cleaner!

Fair point. I take it you have added Seafoam to the oil without any issues?

Oh no. Ive had PLENTY of issues: Better idle, less noise, better throttle response, etc. My Jeep LOVED it when I did the triple treatment of Seafoam. Absolutely GREAT product. I LOVE the issues it causes.

you shouldn't get smoke from putting it in the tank...it is when you put it in the intake you get the smoke

this is my favorite part of it
driving down a busy main road during rush hour when ten minute before i dumped in seafoam its just classic

iv dont it twice in my xj now and i have no problems cause by it at all
i do half the bottle into my tb directly and the other half into the gas tank
it seems to help with throttle response and seems to make it a little more fual effecietn thru the injectors after cleaning them out the first time

The smoke is from spraying "Deep Creep" in your TB. Putting it in the gas wont make it smoke. Follow the link on page 1.

buy 2 cans. put one in the gas tank half in the crank and half through the brake booster. change your oil within 100miles and call it a day. it will definitly feel alot cleaner
