Seafoam??

So, I read the sticky and have completed the first 2 steps. Well we just got 6" of snow so I haven't got to the smoking part. I'm down to a 1/2 tank of gas. Will it be OK to drive the car (I have NO choice but to drive it) til I can do the top end cleaning?? The second can will be pretty diluted by then??

Thanks.

you dont do it...and people will back me on that....sea foam might be petro based but it breaks down the oil in your crankcase....letting it sit at idle will do good enough
