Two bottles for a real shock to loosen and then clean. First bottle when the tank is about a third to a quarter full and run it down to the fumes. Add the second bottle when you fill and run it to the fumes again. Then change the oil.
If it works, you could use any cleaner regularly for a maintenance dose. FP+ has worked well as a system maintenance item for me.
I'd probably go the Techron or B/12 route for the "shock".

It used to be up until a few years ago when they changed the formula and took all the P.E.A. out of it- now it is just overpriced and almost useless, living off its old reputation. Check the MSDS for proof!!!! Redline SI-1 and a few others still include a hefty dose of P.E.A. as detergents to clean injectors and valves.

Yeah, SI-1 or Amsoil PI, which does well. Techron doesnt seems to show up as soft metal bearing wear, so Id do the shock, change the oil soon after, then maybe keep up a maintenance dose of techron after that for a while...
If you want the best bang for the buck Regane Total Fuel System Cleaner is the product with the highest percentage of PEA detergent in it for the dollar. PEA is the most effective gas detergent and is best at attacking and removing deposits on all fuel system parts like injectors, intake valves, ect.

Redline has a higher percentage in a bottle but their price is OUTRAGEOUS!
