Seafoam has the same effect, and the component of styrene in rubber and seals is overestimated. GASOLINE will do pretty much the same thing to styrene, and we use it every day in large quantities.
B12 has been around and on sale for years. If it were actually harmful it probably wouldn't still be around as a recommended fuel additive. Yes, I've used it, and regularly.
