One of my freinds keeps using this product called Sea Foam on his Toyota. It is an engine cleaner that gets "sucked up" through the vaccum line going to the brake assist. The engine sucks it up, quits, wait 10 min, fire it up, and then drive down the street and smoke out your neiborhood.Has anyone here heard of or used this product. Is it good or bad. My buddy says that his truck always runs better when he is done with it.

Thanks for any input

I believe its a decarbonizer.I think its used on engines that do alot of idling,maybe diesels.I have no expeirence with it.

I would be careful doing something like that,for fear of a peice of carbon breaking loose and causing harm and on an older engine with lots of miles.May cause a loss in compression(psi)though not totally but slight drop.

Just my $.02

Sea Foam is used on outboards (boat motors) to remove carbon build up. It does create a lot of smoke. I've never heard if it used on a truck/car engine.
