Agree. Used this on a high mileage Honda with occasional knocking due to carbon buildup, but prefer to just use Lucas oil treatment every few thousand miles instead.

It creates lot of smoke, but mostly from burning the seafoam. One way is to suck it in via the vacuum hose, but be careful only with very small amount at a time. you might also get warning light due to mis-firing and knocking during the process.

Might be helpful for manifold/valve deposits in direct injection engines. YMMV
