Berrymans b12 chemtool cleaning injectors

[The motor guy]

So the boat didn't get used much this winter other than starting up on the trailer once a month or so. Anyways once I did get it on the water the first time it didn't want to get out of its own way past 2500 rpm. It was starving for fuel. I think the fuel was getting too old. The tank holds 118 gallons and I don't trust the fuel guage so I just top it off every 3 boat rides or so. It ran good after I restarted it I think so next trip out I added a bottle of berryman b12 and haven't had an issue since. What do you think happened? Maybe one injector clogged? It's a marine gm350 engine mpi it was like someone had a potato in the exhaust

I don't think running it on the garden hose does much compared to being in the water.

Could be condensation in the gas tank. clogged fuel filter ?

Berryman B-12 is great stuff. I use it every so often when I fill up my cars and the motors run noticeably smoother. I've used B-12 to successfully clean a fuel line that had completely gelled up on an old VM Beetle my Sister had me restore! It's good stuff.

If I remember correctly, each can treats about 20 gallons, so you could use a LOT more B-12 in your tank if you wanted to use it per recommendations. I buy mine at WalMart. I've found they have the best price.

autozone wanted $9/ can compare to Walmarts 4.99 I figured a slow gradual clean was better anyways to prevent filter clogging

It definitely never ran that smooth after that one can of b12

Here's an interesting YouTube video on using B-12 to clean injectors: https://bit.ly/2ka3Iv3

Here's an archived web page about fuel injector cleaners and they say, ""The good thing about Berryman’s product is that it’s solvent based whereas most other cleaners are detergent based."- https://bit.ly/33cbdFN

I bought two 15oz cants. My thought was to use 5oz for my 5 gallons of fuel for OPE equipment and use the rest for my 2017 jeep grand Cherokee. 1oz per gallon for small 2 stroke tools recommended. Would 1oz per gallon be okay for a vehicle?
