Hello and good evening to all fellow Bitogers!
After reading with interest some posts in these here parts on Berryman's B-12, I decided to take the plunge and give it a try. "'D' the Mighty" has been hitting and missing of late with the occasional "pop" of discontent. I thought perhaps a new set of spark plugs might be in order, so changed out all four. Didn't hurt, but really didn't help either.
So I took me another journey to the parts store and purchased the happy looking can of Berrymans. When I arrived back on the farm, I mixed five ounces of Berrymans with five gallons of gasoline and poured it in the almost empty fuel tank, (said tank holds 16 gallons). Pulled the crank and the ole gal barked to life. She sputtered and popped for about 30 seconds and then purred with new life.
I ran said tractor till she was almost empty again and redid the mix, (five gallons gas mixed with five ounces Berrymans). Drove another hour or so and it was supper time and so I put her to bed.
Now, first and foremost, I'm impressed. I don't know what Berrymans cleared up or cleaned out, but whatever it did, it did the job.
But now I'm wondering, in an old type of fuel tank, does the Berryman's product evaporate? "'D' the Mighty" is a 1950 Case Model "D" tractor with a 1950 style gas tank and gas cap which means it has a tiny hole in the top of the gas cap for ventilation. I would like to keep using this product for a while, but store the tractor sometimes for weeks at a time between usage. Therefore, should I keep adding in small amounts or can I fill the tank, add the entire can of Berrymans and look forward to tractor running happiness?
