Im gonna give it a shot on my subie tomorrow when I fill up. I have a long, glass somewhat test-tube looking thing that I'll use to pour the acetone in the tank with.
A couple ounces will not hurt as long it is added to full tank of fuel. It dilutes very quickly. You may pick up some mileage. Maybe a few HP. Check google for acetone as a fuel additive for specific mixture recommendation.Autobodypro_1 said:All I can say is: I wouldn't do it on my car. Acetone can melt plastic parts like your fuel tank strainer giving you delivery problems and clogging your electric fuel pump and lines, leaving you stranded and it can melt plastic or rubber o rings elsewhere in your fuel system which by the way is under pressurization...can anyone say fire hazard....I think the miniscule increase in power and mileage aren't worth the risks...I played around with the stuff when I was a kid with a go cart and it made it run faster....

vristang said:I am curious how much you added, what ratio? What car are you putting it in?
For all who are doing this...
Are you compensating for the acetone left over from the last tank when you calculate how much acetone to add to the next tank?
ECU5.0 said:from everything i have read its 3 oz per 10 gallons. so even if you added 10 gallons on top of 5 gallons still in the tank you would still add 3 oz. i think the proper amount in your gasoline is something like .234 % of the gasoline in your tank. you just calculate how much acetone to put in depending on how much gasoline you put in.
