not that it matters but my friend ran it through his honda and i ran it through my VW (full can with a full tank of gas) they are both our daily drivers and my gas milage went up 4-5mpgish and he went up from 38mpg to 46mpg.. and we both have over 250k miles on our motors. He also ran a half a can in his oil for 50 miles and then changd it and also stuck a half a can in his vaccuum line. the stuff seems to work.

You won't get much smoke if at all if you just put it in the gas tank. Getting it to the engine through a vacuum line is what will make smoke.

The brake booster line worked very well for me. Go look back a few pages if you don't know which line I'm talking about, there's a pic with it circled.

As the instructions state, you want to choose a line that will feed all cylinders... If not you will have different cylinders burning different fuels and have large temperature variances. The key is to pour it in SLOWLY. It usually takes me about 3 minutes to empty a can via vacuum/brake booster vacuum line.

Also, don't be too alarmed if a misfire CEL comes on.

No it will always smoke when you add it. But might change color when all the carbon it gone. Usually a 1/3 of can is about right for intake

Now I know the instructions say to use 1/3 can through the intake; however, I usually use one full can, but very slowly. Like I stated earlier, it should be done slowly, with the vehicle completely warmed up. Your arms should be tired by the time your done...

I put a whole can in the gas and half in the oil and the other half in the intake. Gained about 10-20 more mpg's.
