Decided to suck sea foam through the pcv in my 175K Toyota Tacoma. Overall impressions are positive. During its life it's seen nothing but top tier gas and fuel system cleaners. Lots of smoke during the process. Took about a block to get rid of the smoke.

I've done plenty of research...not so much here. Mostly positive results. Some you tube videos before and after.

Positive in what way?

I've never done the vacuum line sucking method, but I have dumped a can in a tank of old gas and it did seem to help it burn it better.
If you look at what it is made from, you are paying a ton of money for a very basic composition you could make at home in a large quantity very cheaply.
Does it have some cleaning ability as a fuel additive? Yes. Is it as good as something containing PEA detergents? Nope.

b-12 is a stronger solvent , with out the pale oil.
You can always sell snake oil to a portion of the population.
I did notice notable improvement in throttle response in a Oldsmobile 3.5L after Seafoaming through the vac line. Can't quantify it, though.
I use SeaFoam.
People act like the stuff doesn't clean...

I've settled on Gumout Multi System Tuneup after trying numerous fuel treatments. That provides an improvement that I can actually see such as better startup and a smoother idle.

Much nastier solvents in Chemtool. Mostly Toulene and acetone if I recall.

I notice a huge improvement in my 50cc 2stroke scooters after using seafoam.
If i drive lets says 200-300 miles using straight gas i noticed the engine isnt quite as peppy and the starting is a little slower/harder
dump a little seafoam in and 50 miles later the scooter has its acceleration back
how about storing a motorcycle with carb drained and having it leak the next spring
stored with seafoam carb not drained, zero leaks come spring
not sure i would leave B12 in the carb all winter....
but I would venture to say that i havent noticed any results from spraying of dumping through the intake
