it's still running good and about a half tank left. once it's empty i'm changing the oil. not sure how 8oz of seafoam in about 120oz of oil is gonna make much of a difference. maybe you fried your rings from going thru the brake booster line too much at once? or maybe they were almost already fried. god only knows

When I say "thins", I mean "cuts". Seafoam is naptha and rubbing alcohol, if you check the msds.
I'm sure it is still running good. What's the tank got to do with anything? Seafoam, like any other motor flush, should only be run for a short time, at low rpm. You can leave pretty much all you want in your gas, if you don't mind high alcohol gas, and you can introduce it through the booster and it dissolves crap in your intake and combustion chambers, but if it's in the oil it cuts it. If you do it through the booster you should probably change your ail after just because of all the crud, but there's no particular risk to the motor, if it's sound.
And, who knows about my rings? I know, exactly. Forgot I had a full dose of it in the motor and was going to drive it gently and briefly, but then ended up going somewhere instead of changing my oil. Didn't change it for a hundred miles or so (they SAY you can always leave it in, anyways.... "safe" and whatnot), and now it smokes way worse than before, but all cylinders have equal compression.... because the seafoam kept the oil from doing it's job and preventing metal/metal contact, and wore the crap out of all the rings/cylinders at once.
So, like I said: it's a really really bad idea, but don't take my word for it, try your luck.
