Default Smoke

A buddy and i mixed 2 oz of sea foam with about 6 oz of mixed gas and it made a decent amount of smoke. This was pretty badass but we still wanted more. So i pose the question: Does anyone know of some other additive out there that will produce smoke without hurting the engine?

LOL, seafoam is a fuel additive that can be used in pretty much all types of reciprocating engines to clean out carbon and other buildups.

I wouldn't constantly use seafoam in any engine. Especially not a 2-stroke. It will wear the bearings out.

According to the directions on the can you add 2 oz per gallon with a 2 cycle. I added 1 oz to my last tank of gas figuring that the tank is actually slightly larger than 1/2 gallon. It smoked a little more than usual at first, but now I'm not noticing any extra smoke and I'm about 1/2 way through the tank. And no I wouldn't run seafoam constantly, it's not meant to be used all the time. When this tank is done I will have a look through the park plug hole and see if the top of my piston looks any cleaner. I'm kind of skeptical myself, but I have heard from a number of reliable people that this stuff works, so we'll see.
