Acetone increases fuel efficiency

-1oz of acetone per 5 gallons fuel


Has anyone tried this? I would be interested to hear what you all
thing. Some say fact, some say fiction, some say maybe. There is only
one way to find out.

Why didn't you search this group using acetone in the subject line to see if
there's any info about this subject?

Acetone sure will rid the car of any RUBBER hoses, gaskets, seals, and
o-rings! Not to mention all the PLASTICS used in the Fuel System!

No. that's not right. The worst that acetone _might_ do at 0.25% to 0.5%
concentrations is remove some unwanted combustion deposits. People
should really step back & use their heads when reacting to new ideas
like this & stop regurgitating knee-jerk reactions they read on the
internet & newsgroups. If people would really _think_ about the
concentrations they are talking about & then really _think_ about how
little they know about the chemical properties & the physical chemical
dynamics of concentrations, they wouldn't type things just to see their
reaction in print on the internet.
No personal offense to this poster is intended.

so where's the evidence? some appalachian redneck in a ford exploder
posting on some crank website alledging he gets 30% improvement in
mileage doesn't convince me. you have any credible citations?

False.
I used acetone on plastic underground gas station lines last week for
cleaning/drying, in preparation for fusion welding.

The rubes are rampant. It used to be moth balls. My fave is the
magnetic thingy on the fuel line.

Depends on the kind of plastic. Acetone in general is an excellent
solvent for plastics and is an ingredient in paint remover.
