Acetone as a fuel additive
Acetone as a fuel additive
(OP)
With all the hub-bub about increaed fuel prices, I have been receiving some crazy emails about solutions.
This came by the other day http://pesn.com/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone/
Anyone have insight as to other possible problems other than degredation of plastic seals and o-rings?

RE: Acetone as a fuel additive
to rwall:
There was a thread on using acetone here about 2 months ago. some members tried to show by the chemistry that acetone would not inprove fuel consumption. other members wrote about the safety issue of putting a flamable liquid in their fuel tank (?). without any comment or explanation, that thread disappeared, never to be heard of again. i think most of the comments were hostile to the idea. I had just joined this forum and was disappointed that a subject of such mild controversy could be taken off, as if it had never been posted. you probably will find more info doing a search on google. good luck
