Default Berryman B12? Does it work?

I was watching a car repair show the other day and the guy put several bottles of B12 in the tank (1 per fillup) as he drove 700 miles across country in a old car that hadn't run in many years. He never said if it worked! Have you tried it? Does it work? What about their other products?

I don't use carb cleaners but I suspect it's no better nor worse than SeaFoam or other similar products.

That was derrick on vice grip garage while his shows have a good amount of humor,, which we could all use more of he's no dummy.
I.never used that product I've used seafoam. I'd say they work fairly well some people get surprising results. Others not so much. I don't see it causing any harm. Watch the yellow c3 he did.

Yup, he's funny and must be a pretty good mechanic to get all those old wrecks running again. I did watch all the yellow C3 videos. Lots of corvette abuse there! ha!
I'd just never heard of Berryman's before and wondered if it really worked or he was just getting paid to pour it in the tank...

He has used Berryman's on a number of his project cars and commented that it does what Seafoam does at less cost. The guy has ice in his veins to take those cars on the road for hundreds and hundreds of miles. His knowledge of how to remedy problems that crop up is old school mechanic-ing at its best.

There's another YouTube channel, Project Farm, who actually does testing on a number of products - not just automotive. He has quite a few videos testing Seafoam and used it in his personal truck that had lifter problems. Did follow up video after a year of use. I don't recall a comparison test between Seafoam and Berryman's but maybe...
