We have used Sea Foam and Techron in the past with varied results for cleaning.
We use marine stabil for ethanol treatment and as a stabilizer.

Really they are just additives. Techron is your friend here though. If it's that bad pull them and have them professionally cleaned or someone that can do a motorvac cleaning or a BG fuel system clean. They may help. You can only get so much out at a time.
I'm a BG fuel cleaner additive guy but that's just me. We use it at work. I put it in mine in the beginning of the season. Notice any diff. Nope.
Like A7 said if I was running ethanal I would run the blue marine stabil. Great stuff. Designed for that environment.

Everyone everywhere will recommend their own special fuel additive to you. What I did was to ask my marine mechanic, and a forum of marine engine mechanics for my engine type, what's the best fuel additive is , and that's what I use. Then you need to use it religiously when you fill-up. It also needs to be reasonably priced. BUT all this it preventative maintenance.

I subscribe to this guy, very thorough and does some fun stuff like running a lawn mower on Everclear.
Personally, I put Stabil Marine in every tank, and threw some injector cleaner in my first tank this year.

Yes I saw this..pretty good, I like it. I like how he puts the see thru glass or plexy glass in the lawnmower head so you can see the lawnmower internal combustion...this guy would of been a good lab partner in college. However, a lawnmower is not a V-8.
