Imagine if this really works and causes no harm. If it increased our MPG's from @25 to @30 wouldn't it be worth it? My truck is getting to need a pump and injectors so I may try it on that. RT
How will you know if it was the acetone that did it or not.............

a little acetone over a longer time will do to most plastic adn rubber parts what Biodiesel will do to rubber.....

Take a chance if you wish.....I'm not willing to sacrifice my benz to find out...

what is the BTU content of a gallon of Acetone....and a gallon of Diesel....I'll be a chemist comes up with proof that its chemically impossible to either make power or increace milage with that....or some snake oil salesman woul dhave done it already.
