I poured it all in when I had 3/4's a tank of gas, then I drove 1 mile to the gas station and filled the gas up the rest of the way.

BTW it said one pint treats 16-20 gallons. I thought our cars had 15 or 16 gallon tanks?

Should I siphon the gas out?

thanks for the quick response,

Well, I dont have any personal experiance with Putting B12 in the tank, But Here is What I would Think. Maybe It will help You out.


I use it to Clean My Carb, ( obviously ) and to Check For Vaccum Leaks, so It usually ends Up in the Mixture. It causes the car to stumble. Spraying too Much will Make My car Die. OUr cars have approximately a 15 gallon Tank. Pouring the Full amount For 16-20 gallons at 3/4 Tank would Be over Doing it, IMO. Seems To me that this could Logically Cause your stumble and hesitation. Keep In Mind, this is just a educated guess. )


Is it going to hurt your Motor ? No. I would just drive around and burn gas, and then fill it Up with Some 92/3 And see if it goes away. If it does Your set, if Not then Start looking elsewere.


Once you Get the B12 Out of there, Chance the fuel Filter, its likely you Lodged a Bunch of crap in there cleaned out by the berrymans.


Good Luck, let us know how it turns out.
