Acetone

That's real scientific, Hank. I put acetone in my car and it didn't change my gas mileage by 0.01%.

Congratulations, but I really dont believe it. If you firmly believe in it, then keep using it.

Eventually, all that money saved on gas, will be used to replace the rubber and soft parts, , in your fuel system, that the acetone destroys...

Nothing quite like the combination of acetone and plastic.

Can you say ... ...

sludge?

I tried it in three different cars and it made no difference at all in any of them.

I just returned from a long (230 miles) drive and with the acetone in my old car got 34.5 mpg, up from a normal highway drive of about 28 mpg. ________________________________________

Check for a leak in your fuel vapor recovery system. I think the acetone fumes are getting into the cabin.

Good luck.

How much acetone did you mix with the gasoline?

Who said anything about mixing it with the gasoline?

I did the "recommended" 3 oz per 10 gallons of gasoline. This is my

Now that the solvent has cleaned your injectors, you can go back to regular gas and the mileage should stay up.

Does this mean a one time dose of acetone is a good thing?

'I' certainly wouldn't use it or recommend it. I work with the stuff and know how fast it eats plastic parts.

I was trying to save the OP from himself by suggesting a less harmful test.

My Jeep's system can't even tolerate ethanol, it dissolves parts and rusts out all the steel lines.

My owners manual even states if I 'must' put ethanol of any mix in for emergency purposes, only use enough to get to 'real' gas.

I agree with Mike... I have worked with it for decades, and it is a very reactive solvent. I would not use it, EVER, in an automotive fuel system.
