Too much fuel injector cleaner not enough gas??

I was wondering if you put two bottles of Fuel injector cleaner (1- Lucas Fuel system treatment, 1 - Valvoline Maxlife Injector cleaner) and only about 6 gallons of gas in a tank would it make alot of smoke come out the exhaust?? I put some in my old 4WD and it hadnt been started in about 2 years and man does it put out the smoke, it doesnt stink or anything its just smoke like when you go outside on a cold day and breathe hard. If you hold your hand next the to tailpipe it has alot of moisture in it cause it makes your hand wet.

the steam is a caused by the alcahol burning that is in the injector cleaner. it should be fine. just run it as close to dry as you can then put more gas in.

I was hoping it wasnt a cracked block or something but it runs fine and smooth as a top.
