Title: Acetone in the Fuel
Post by red2k1 on 11/10/05 at 17:03:27

Given the price of gasoline today, I found this article interesting; you may also. Have not tested it yet, but will.

Pretty interesting stuff in that article, looks like someone really did their homework. Just a few questions come to mind though. I'm not trying to be negative, but if this acetone is really some kind of fuel additive that really works (unlike all the other snake oil products out there), why don't they sell it as a fuel additive? or maybe they already do? if they don't maybe there could be a reason for it such as it could be bad for rubber gaskets in the fuel lines??

i can see how it would be good for emissions,but what about performance ??? i would never do it,it would be weird to put the same stuff that i paint with, into my truck's gas tank!,no thanks.

1 part acetone to 5000 parts gas :o thats just stupid

and if u get a fast evaporating acetone it would probably evaporate right in the tank, through the vent

IMHO.

Feels like a snake oil site - you know fuel line magnets, air straightners in the intake and such - that and try to sell you a $130 fuel MPG computer - don't think I'll pour any in the tank.

speaking of this I see gas here in Indy at $2.05 a gal

I'd strongly advise You not to do it !
1.What does it meam "pretty inexpensively"?
2.If it was such a good deal, how come the car manufacturers are looking at the ethanol, but not at the aceton ?
3.Years ago the aceton was used for a nail polish cleaner, untill it was found it damages the nails. Even the alcohol in the gas damages the rubber components in the carburetor and hardens the hoses. Think about the aceton, that is at least 2ise more agresive

Old news. We have a local city inspection stations here.
You have to go sit in line and wait for a gov. employee to stick a pipe up your exhaust and get a sample. (sound familiar?)

Some folks that have an older engine that is marginal (failed but close) have reported they added acetone to the tank and passed the gov. smog check.
Bikes, wait outside, and they just come out and check your lights, both a huge waste of time and taxes.

Acetone? Isn't that what Laurel&Hardy were gypped into buying, 'my car runs on pure water and this miracle fluid' >:(
Rather than acetone, how about lighter fluid, as in BBQ? ;D

Oh, and, by the way, propane is NOT the best, ideal, blah blah fuel for a motor engine.

Methane is the ideal fuel.

Methane, CH4 + 2xO2 = CO2 + 2xH2O

one molecule of methane + 2 of oxygen will give you
one molecule of carbon dioxide and two of water.

Simple as that !!!

;D ;D ;D
