me either - it's not worth any small fuel mpg gains it may provide

it would dry out everything rubber and make it brittle and make things leak, like fuel, not good.

Exactly. Going to be funny when the fuel line bust and their car catches on fire.

Thats what I was about to say. The first time the add a little to much they are going to blow their motor. Save motor or gas? Hrmm..hard one

it wouldn't blow the motor necessarily, but it could cause a fire eventually as it does dry rot hoses and o rings. reformulated gas is hard enough on rubber fuel components. acetone would be much harder on it. soak a rubber hose in acetone for a while and see what heppens to it in a week or two.

By "blow" the motor I mean ruin. I can just imagine what this stuff would do to piston rings over time.

it wouldn't do anything to piston rings just rubber stuff. An engine can run on anything combustable that can be contained in the cylinders, if you run to much combustion then you can fry pistons but it takes more that just an alcohol base product. something like nos or a highly combustable gas to do that.

obviously you guys didnt read the link http://pesn.com/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone/
You only put at maximum 3 ounces per 10 gallons which equates to somewhere in the neighborhood of .3% concentration. At this concentration you won't see any negative effects on rubber seals, gaskets, etc. They even did testing with up to 50/50 gas/acetone solution with NO damage done to seals, orings, gaskets after 6 months.
Read before you proceed.
Don't be a dumbass.

as long as your not putting straight acetone in your tank, but i has to dry out rubber stuff eventuallyprolly a little faster anyway

Yeah thats why this revolutionary product has just started being used....wait this is old stuff. You think these guys were the first to try this? Go ahead and put this in your tank, we'll see who the dumbass is.

Hi,
Read the article on the web site but there is a link in that web page that goes right to the original guys who investigated using acetone in small quantities 3 oz. of acetone ( you have to experiment with that figure but no more than 3 oz.) to 10 gallons of gasoline and 2 oz. of acetone ( again experiment with 2 oz. or less of acetone ) to 10 gallons of diesel.
They give stats, information that from people who have used the acetone addition for 50 years with great results!
They invite all to try it but like they said that engineers are trained to adhere to strict guide lines and report facts as they really are. There are others who are not engineers who have the same disciplines and would report unobjective findings.
In that web page is the link to the original guys with tons of information that will turn any unbeliever into a believer and gain additional gas miles and money in the pocket!!!
