It creates lot of smoke, but mostly from burning the seafoam. One way is to suck it in via the vacuum hose, but be careful only with very small amount at a time. you might also get warning light due to mis-firing and knocking during the process.

Might be helpful for manifold/valve deposits in direct injection engines. YMMV
