so i accidentally poured a whole bottle of seafoam in my fuel tank. would this mess up something in my car? should i worry? or should i pump the remaining gas out of the fuel tank? anyone?

put some sugar in there to soak it up
really though, I have no idea, i assume it would be bad.

i would probably worry about it considering it does say not to do so
how much gas is in the tank?

Yea I think it's something to worry about. I'd pump whatever is left in there out.

If you have a full tank, you're fine as is.
If you don't have a full tank, you're still fine. Or if it bothers you go fill er up.
Most people I know put whole cans into 1/4 of a tank and their fuel filters have yet to melt and destroyed their injectors or fouled out their O2 sensor.

full tank. i was thinking diluting it with full tank thought would be ok. car always be driven under 30 miles from work to house. but it wont hurt to ask others right?

just a bunch of white smoke to help out those behind you but shouldn't be too bad, just watch your o-rings and sensors along the way.:fruit:

assuming that you didnt pour the entire contents of the seafoam bottle in at time of fill up just refill your gas tank at earlier intervals to dilute it. Honestly i pour the whole bottle in to stabilize the fuel when im about to store my car.
