Acetone???

[Sparky-Watts]

Ok, the results are in.....

On my first tank of gas with 4oz of acetone I managed 442.5 miles. I filled up tonight (at $2.79 a gallon!!!) with 17.195 gallons of gas. If I did the math right, that's 25.734 mpg!!! Prior to the acetone treatment, I was getting around 21 mpg, so that's about a 4 mpg improvement! I drive 444 miles a week to and from work, and at 25.734 mpg, I'll use 17.3 gallons a week, 4.9 less than without acetone. That's a difference of 254.8 gallons a year, or at $2.79 a gallon, roughly $711 a year saved. I'm impressed!!

I also ordered my electric fan today, so I should have it in a week or so. Hoping to squeeze a bit more out of the tank with that if I can. I doubt I can go much higher, but who knows?

A Word Of Warning!!!!...... Be careful about putting it in plastic containers!! My first batch I had (measured, of course) in a beer bottle - that was kinda cool pulling up to a gas pump and sticking a beer bottle in my tank!!! Got some strange looks!!! 2nd batch I stuck in a "Slick50 Injector Cleaner" bottle (16 oz.)........Big Mistake!!!!!! That stuff'll eat up certain types of plastic, but I figured the injector cleaner bottle would be OK.......WRONG!! I'm sticking with beer bottles

If it eats plastic, what is it doing to your in-tank fuel pump housing and injector seals??

Just a thought...............

Basically nothing. On one of the other sites I was reading that the concentration of acetone in a 20 gallon tank is something like 640:1. Ya figger 2-4 ounces in 20 gallons, and that's not enough to do any damage at all.

Yeah it's pretty diluted in a 20 gal tank.

Them's some pretty impressive results Sparky! You give my "fuel efficient Jeep" post some hope!

And, all that stuff is pretty tough anyways to be able to handle fuel running through it constantly :wink:
