has anybody really had any luck with acetone in their gas? as fast as the stuff evaporates you would be lucky to get it into yer tank on a hot day.theory sounds good behind it, better combustion is what we all strive for. but i need to have someone or many someone's say that it really does make a difference. oh yeah wouldent it be nice to get better mileage with an additive that cheap.

not here.
But a few years go I read about some deal that uses platinum as a catalyst to combustion to increase fuel mileage. Never heard about it since.

I use Ethos FR and it seems to help in many ways, most notibly fuel economy and less pollutants. I stumbled across it when trying to get my Dakota through DEQ a few years back. It worked for that slick as snot. http://www.ethosnw.com/

Yep
tried it in the 77 lean burn 2-3 mpg better. I'm thiking it cools the fuel charge going thru the venturis on the carb. also pulls out water in the fuel. Haven't tried it in my FI honda but i,m going too.
I use the 1 oz per 10 gallons. I add 1 oz to a gallon jug then dump it into the tank and add the other 9 gallons. Dumping straight i'd agree it evaporate before it his the bottom of the neck.
google it its all over the net.

I've only heard it touted as raising octane. I don't think there's much arguing that-it's pretty much proven fact as far as I know. I used it in the late 90's in a turbo buick I had. I stopped because it was kinda expensive.
Exactly 610 posts on old board, first whacked post in the history of this one!
Funny moparts quote from Waginator:
"*If you want your package lost, like bermuda triangle lost, use DHL (formerly airborne)
*if you want it to get there but destroyed, use UPS."

At 1 oz per 10 gallons it'll do nothing for raising octane, maybe at 1 gallon per tankful though.
The only possible way acetone could improve mileage is if you had a dirty fuel system and it helped clean it out. I tried it in my daily driver and it did nothing. In fact other than the rather ill informed website posted and it's adherents there appears to be no reputable support for this idea. Hmm, that prior sentance implies the website and it's adherents are reputable, I did not imply that in case anyone is wondering.

Yes Acetone and Xylene will both increase octane, cool the mixture and increase efficiency the burn by streaching out the carbon links to the hydrocarbons and allow more inflitration of the Oxygen, if you really want add 1-25 OXYGEN GAS ALSO AND IT WILL BRING THE AEDIBATIC HEAT OF COMBUSTION WAY UP AND THEREFORE MORE POWER PER GIVEN VOLUME OF INTKE CHARGE. ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL. 10% ALCOHOL AND 5% ACETONE AND 5% XYLENE MAKES A NICE BREW YOU CAN BUBBLE XYLENE THROUGH GLYCRINE AND NITRIC ACID AND BREW YOUR OWN LOW END NITROMETHANE AND MIX 10% with the gas. acetone, alcohol , xylene and nitric acid and glycerine all cost way more than plain hightest so the gains would be a wash out cost wise and also try to avoid blowing yourself up. ive been bubbling octane through Hudrogen gas and forming a solid tri hydrogen octane solid which will give off gas when inmmersen in hydrogen peroxide and provide the free oxygen to burn the Hydrogen, but I dont recommend you kids try this at home . it releases power beyond what a compressed CNG cylinder can hold (boom) but does rrun a lawnmowner on water and peroxide from the drug store.

We have about 11 million gallons of Naptha at work right now so I decided to take a sample. I added 2 gallons to a tank full of gas and my car got a little over 6 miles more per gallon. I have a digital gauge that calculates the mileage for me so its real easy. I didnt notice the car running any better or worse, just an increase in the mileage. I dont know what kind of long term effect it would have on the engine but I would imagine it would tend to run a little lean. Not to mention, Naptha smells like a turd.

I use Toluene. It's 116 octane. $2.10 a gallon when purchased in 55 gal. drum & delivered to my house. I put 16 oz. per gallon in my 69 Superbee 383 thats 10 1/2 to 1 compression. Raises the octane of Sunoco 94 two points & it's enough to take away all pinging , better idle (solid lifter comp. cams 284 duration .495 lift), better throttle response. As for attacking rubber parts I've not had any problem in 3 years & I leave it in my Bee all winter. May be a good idea to run it near empty b4 you store it for winter & tank up with just plain old gas. Also Indy cars run on 80% toluene & 20% Heptane. The Heptane is just used as a filler. It has no ocatne value. Ps. USE PROTECTION when handling any chemicals ESPECIALLY any that end with ANE or ENE. They absorb almost instantly RIGHT THRU THE SKIN & INTO the BLOOD STREAM. All causing cancer & a host of other MEDICAL problems. Read the MSDS sheets B4 handling these chemicals & BUY or borrow the correct gloves
