The Berryman B-12 Chemtool Carburetor/Fuel Treatment and Injector Cleaner is a state of the art product that uses the Berryman exclusive HEST or “High Energy Solvent Technology”. This technology is designed to pack a real punch when it comes to cleaning gasoline fueled motor parts; none of those weak mineral spirits or kerosene that many other products use.
Can Berryman B-12 be used with Diesel engines?
Unfortunately, due to the strong nature of this solvent, this B-12 product is unsuitable for use in Diesel Engines and can degrade their performance.
If you have a vehicle or a machine that runs on gasoline, opting for this fuel injector cleaner is a good idea, no matter what your cleaning needs. Simply check out these features:

It’s clear that if you want to rid your gasoline engine of dirt and deposits, even if they’ve been piling up for years and years, the B12 Chemtool will work wonders. Just be careful not to spill any on the paint job or on yourself, this stuff doesn’t kid around. It’s also wise not to exceed the recommended dosage when adding it to your fuel. Remember that this is a very strong solvent that could potentially damage plastic components in your fuel system when undiluted.

Conclusions
The Berryman B-12 Chemtool is a product designed to clean even the most clogged up fuel injectors and other parts of the fuel system. The patented super strong solvent is so potent that you actually have to be careful not to use too much and that’s saying something.
However, please note that this product is designed to be a true “cleaner”. Unlike some other products, it does no aim to specifically improve your fuel and shouldn’t be used as a constant fuel additive for that reason. Like suggested on the label, use this every 2500-3000 miles or every oil change. On another note, this means that you can use other fuel treatment products the rest of the year and achieve an even greater engine efficiency and life-span.

Excessive use may damage engine components. That statement is false! As long as you follow the manufacturers directions, you will have no problems.
And your statement is contradictory. Excessive use means using more than the recommended amount, which means you are not following manufacturer’s directions. If you are following it, then it’s not excessive usage is it.
No, This product is safe even if you over dose. I’ve been using this product for more then 15 years. I’m a Chemtool master.
Is this safe for turbocharged ecoboost engines
Did you ever find an answer?
Yes, as long as you follow the 1oz. per gallon directions.
No, ive used in gas turbochargers and knocks a little. It will lower the octane of the fuel your using.
Is this cleaner B-12 OK to use on hybrid engines ?
as long as it’s a gasoline hybrid, and not diesel, i think it should be fine.
Sun cleaners recommend you use regular fuel only where’s my car is a high-performance engine and I have to use premium fuel or super only so what type of fuel should I use with this cleaner
Stick with your premium fuel, if your engine requires it. Chemtool can still be added.
Will the B12 cleaner remove carbon deposits from the head of 1926 Model T? (without taking off the head to wire brush it)
Yes, it works wonders on a lot of cylinder heads, let it sit for a while if super carbonized. Then use wire brush or tooth brush to fine tune things
the question was: without taking off the head to wire brush it
