Acetone in your gas to improve mileage. Anyone here try it??
Ive heard about it and read it on a bunch of websites and just curious what you guys thought about it. It claims that you have better gas mileage (15-35% or more) and not at all harmful to your engine. Does anyone here do it? Is this something i should not be doing? I included a link about it below just for you guys to read for yourselves.<ul><li><a href="http://www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone/">http://www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone/</a</li></ul>

Ugh, don't. Only suitable use is to boost octane for short term use.
The hoses and rubber parts in the fuel system are not designed with Acetone/Toluene/Xylene in mind and will break down at a faster rate if exposed to those solvents.
