Add 3-4 MPG adding ounces of Acetone to your fuel

Pretty cool find, check it out here. http://www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone/


Mike...

 

I don't believe that this would be a GOOD idea.
My reasons: First, SOME parts to a cars fuel system, are either rubber, plastic or nylon. Plastic and rubber both melt with exposure to acetone causing leaks.
There is always the chance that IF your piston rings are worn, and the fuel isn't completely burned, it could ruin the oil. Your motor will freeze up.

(I did NOT read that article.)

 

That could seriously fuck up your engine. Why would you post something like this? You realize you could be liabile if someone actually did it and took the time to track your ass down and sue you for the damages.

 

read it before dissing it... parts have been soaked in 200 times the normal amount for years with no ill effects, your adding 2 ounces to 10 gallons very very very little of the stuff has to be added, and its not dangerous read it first, retard...

 

It actually makes your engine last longer if you read it...

 

This was tested on the TV show "Mythbusters" a while back, (along with a lot of other alleged MPG boosting tricks), and no improvement was seen. In fact, measured MPG actually DECREASED slightly with acetone in the tank.

These "quick and dirty" test results have been confirmed by a study at Kettering University:

yes if you add too much acetone you do get a decrease its a fine balance. You got to find out what your engine wants by testing in small with changes in the amounts. At any rate I'm going to give it a go in a motor I rebuilt (chevy 350) and its got about 5000 miles on it since I competly rebuilt it compression is still like new so hopefully I get good results, but ya its just a web page and I myself have not seen real world results, thus the testing starts... Give me a bit as it might take month to burn through 2 tanks of gas, one as my control and the other as my experiment. I wont be doing in hoky gas guage reading results. I'll top off my tank note miles, drive it almost empty top off tank again and divide the gallons and miles I drove. and I'll do the same for the Acetone tank, I do no highway driving in this truck so all driving will be stop and go town driving... I'll report back in awhile..

 

After reading most of the article, and YES done propperly, with consideration for the specific parts for that engine. I will agree that this could be a GOOD idea.

One thing I know about acetone is that they use it, or used to use it in the fibre-glass industry to make mouldings with. Its bad, bad, chemical - the stuff stinks a bit like nail varnish and has the same effect on your eyes - pour a few million tons of that into the atmosphere - great brilliant ! another freakin chemical in the ozone layer

The fact is its used as a degreaser so the oil layer would split and break up -

even though wikipedia says it may have no adverse effects on car parts - its human effects are horrendous - its dummies that dont give two craps about other people or the environment that would use it -If you want to breathe that crap - fill your garage up with it and breathe it through a mask but dont fill my fuckin air space with it - huh?

 

wow calm down now before you pop a blodd vessel....or get your panties in a knot...

and it smells that way ... because it is nail polish

so millions of gallons are already used every day and evaporate into the atmosphere by female folk world wide

and the amount you are suppose to add to your fuel would only be a few ounces per tank full....

another common fuel additive to clean your injectors that is available in stores is methanol alcohol ...its poisonous to

 

you can get about 20% better fuel economy by switching to diesel

 

i already do have a diesel ...gets up to 45mpg
and it runs on biodiesel to boot

 

Actually, as solvents go, acetone is fairly benign stuff. The human body actually creates (and metabolizes) small amounts of the stuff under normal conditions. It biodegrades pretty quickly, and contains no chlorine, so it poses no threat of ozone depletion.

 

Add half a kilo of sugar to your car fuel, really makes a lot of smoke come out the exhaust and then when the engine dies you will be saving a whole planet from breathing in your pollution.
