Last week I just became aware of the "buzz" on the net about 1~3 oz. of acetone per 10 gal. of gas.
Because my Google searches did not show any documented damage from this experiment (just lots of fears ... 2 mechanic friends I asked said they wouldn't try it) ... anyway I decided to try it in my 2002 Taurus SEL wagon.
It didn't make intuitive sense to me that a 1/640 or 1/1280 dilution of acetone would present much in the way of attacking the rubber and plastic components ... I had not come across any posting by anybody saying that had happened to them ...
Anyway, I have a running fuel log for the past few months for comparison purposes. Based on my highway trip (approx. 400 km.) last weekend, running on approx. 1 1/4 oz. acetone per 10 gal. gasoline, upon topping up my fuel tank when I got back, I saw that I had achieved approx. 14% increase over other typical highways trips I've documented.
Just wondered what others here think of my findings ... and the whole idea in general ...
