Completely Wrong
Acetone is an octane similar to toluene, xylene and others that are used for octane ratings. Acetone has an octane of 150.
It doesn't cause carboning.
It doesn't eat rubber and plastic, it might swell rubber in 100% pure concentration, but it doesn't EAT IT.
Use it if you want, but don't crap your baseless opinions on my thread. Saying that it carbons up engines is the first hint that you don't know what you are talking about. Are you saying higher octance fuel carbons up plugs? Wouldn't that then decrease fuel economy then? Yes, it would.
It works and I am saving money and getting better performance.
If you want to use it, go ahead, but if you don't, I won't tolerate a bunch of naive people coming in a putting it down when they don't have the balls to at least try it out themselves.
