I have read about it for a long time now, and finally I broke down and did it to my 91 honda accord.
From everything I read online, I expected a huge amount of smoke and annoyance. There was white smoke, but, not nearly the amount I thought there would be by having read online. People either are stupid, or exaggerate a lot. After pouring 1/3 of the bottle into the intake while running, poured the rest into the gas tank. Then let it sit for 5-10 minutes (as directed) and went and topped of the gas tank.
Also tightened down a vacuum leak that was occurring, so the car seems to run a bit better just because of that (caused issues with the idle).
Overall...If seafoam does what it claims, then I'm happy. Car has been having a random doesn't want to start issue...so maybe that's from a stuck/clogged injector and this will fix it.
Only time will tell... I should probably track gas mileage to see if that increases any from what I used to get. |

I hope it helps! If not, just race it to its death on the track.

Curious what your results are. My friends swear by seafoam although I have never given it a shot. |

I've never head a bad thing about seafoam, everyone I've known who's used it has done so with outstanding results (or so they say) |

Honestly, it idles better...but that might be due to fixing the vacuum leak in the intake as well. Starts up just fine. Runs fine. I don't see a down side to trying it. |
