Old300D,
You need a trip down to the Pearl Vision Center too SEE that the glass is half empty! Quote:
In a 10-gallon tank of gasoline, use two to three ounces of pure acetone to obtain excellent mileage improvements. In a ten-gallon tank of diesel fuel, use from 1 to 2 ounces of acetone. Performance goes too. Use about a teaspoon of acetone in the fuel tank of a lawnmower or snowblower.
That was cut-n-pasted right from the webpage....
Habanero,
Going the environmentalist route is quite simple. Regardless of that fact that acetone is made from petroleum you are ignoring the fact that IF it increased mileage just from using very small quantities the overall result is LESS fuel used overall. Wouldn't that be a good thing? Maybe it is all BS but I can't fault them from trying and they aren't trying to sell me something either. RT
