Yo, fwiw, I added a can to my Tacoma, and it idles smoother and is definitely running better. Best results so far from a can of fuel injector cleaner. Sticking with it.

Pretty potent stuff.
+1 on good stuff.
Chemtool is best at removing varnish in the fuel system, once its cleaned away a PEA based cleaner is better and safer at keeping them that way.
I wouldn't use Chemtool too often, its has some very potent chemicals and may not be the best thing for some plastic in the pump/fuel sender unit.

How about the cult classic of 1oz. TW-3 rated 2cycle oil in the gas tank per 5 gallons of gas?
I've used it, it is more of a solvent. I'd make sure it was sufficiently diluted.
Also i'd make sure not to get it on my skin, I think it has MEK in it.

FYI: I got MEK on my hands daily for years in the 80's. Also Acetone on my hands, put my head in a Freon Degreaser tank, etc and I'm totally fine inside & out. In fact, my hands look VERY young.

I use it once every oil change or 6 months. Pretty good stuff but I agree, it can be a little on the harsh side. My engine loves it though.
B12 is stronger than MMO, Lucas or Seafoam.
I added a half a can to an '87 Ranger the other day. It had less than half a tank. I drove it for maybe 20-25mins and I was definitely impressed what it did to the truck. Accelerated better and felt like it needed since its been a neglected farm truck for the past several years.
These days with ethanol doing it's damage to everyone's engines stuff sold in the cans that some swear off and some use religiously DO WORK GREAT!
B12, Lucas UCL, MMO, And seafoam I must say are best of the best stuff you can buy and use in any engine to help clean it out a good bit.
