Seafoam or Berryman B-12 For Decarb?

[tomh59]

Do they do the same thing or should I stick with Seafoam.
Berryman B-12 is $4 cheaper.

SeaFoam is one of the preferred products for de-carbonizing the engine components. Due to its success, it is the choice of many people here, including myself, for that specific function.

Berryman B-12 like Gumout, is a product that is recommended for cleaning carburetors and fuel injectors, which has little to do with the de-carb process.

Here is a link to the MSDS for Berrymans B-12: http://www.berrymanproducts.com/Portals/0/BPI MSDS/0216.pdf[/URL

I figured Seafoam but wanted clarification. Thanks for the link as well.

I believe sea-foam has a lubricant in it also, required for 2 strokes outboards so no lack of oil.

You have to have a source of TCW-3 oil whenever you are running the engine. The pale oil in SeaFoam is inadequate.

50:1 oil mixture plus the seafoam. I know there are threads with decarb.
