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:
- Suitable for just about any type of gasoline powered machine (motorcycles, cars, trucks, boats, yard and industrial machines) – Check
- Works with both carbureted and fuel injected engines – Check
- Berryman exclusive, HEST powered super strong solvent – Check

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.

How to use?
- Add 1 oz. of cleaner per 1 gallon of fuel

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.

should this be used in new cars????
As long as it is a gasoline engine.
Since1987 NO fuel system issues or fuel related check engine lights from the tank to the exhaust. Toulene must be handled properly but it won’t be beat in gas engines
01 Toyota celica getting tank dropped and injector’s cleaned because of chem tool b12. 12 Oz per 12 gallon back fire from my carb… Be careful using this
Your o1 Toyota has a carb – that’s your problem, somebody stole your injectors
HaHaHa….. Love it
If you have a problem with the directions, you can add less then directions specify. 1oz per gallon is recommended. If your tank is 15 gallons then only add 11 or 12oz. Go from there.
Can it be used in 2 cycle engines?
Is the B-12 Chemtool suitable for two cycle engines – – don’t want to damage my carbuerated Yamaha 150 outboard?
Does this product have a limited shelf life – been in my garage for five years
Yes, but the 1oz per gallon rule does not apply. Unless your gas tank can hold a gallon.
Can B12 be used in combination with Marvel’s Mystery Oil?
marvel oil gunked up my injectors and had one cylinder of my 88 jeep 4.0 with only 95 lbs compression. new injectors and many cleaners later she puuuurs at 160000 miles – i used techron sea foam bg44 and berrymans b12 has it running the smoothest of all.
i disagree that mystery oil will foul injectors,i been using it for years no problems..
I would not mix them together. Marvel’s is like an oil and Chemtool is liquid that can dissolve Marvel’s Oil.
