10 to 25% better MPG, with 2 or 3 ounces of Acetone per 10 gals of gas
Acetone is available at autoparts stores, walgreens, walmarts, etc,
and costs only 10 to 15 cents per ounce. Everyone who cares about air pollution and the high cost of gasoline should know about this. Acetone in Fuels: Significantly Improved Mileage: This article about acetone (CH3COCH3) probably draws conclusions that Big Oil and the American Car Manufacturers and others do NOT want you to know. They suffer from unlimited corporate GREED. They want bad mileage. The worse, the better as far as they are concerned. Acetone is a vaporization additive rather than a fuel additive per se. It is successful in very tiny amounts from about one part per 5000 to one part per 500. Mileage seems to taper off while HC emissions actually are greatly reduced with too much acetone. The peak gain in mileage comes between .03 of one-percent and .20 of one-percent acetone, depending on the actual vehicle which may be running gasoline or diesel. Note .781 cc per liter or .78 parts per 1000 or one part per 1280 are the same as one ounce per 10 gallons. Acetone operates on the unburned portion of the fuel to gain added vaporization and improved combustion efficiency. above was excerpted from: http://www.lubedev.com/articles/additive.htm |

Maybe you work for an oil company. Scientific testing indicates that it works: http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directo..._Fuel_Additive |

Why wouldn't an independent gas station provide it, pre-mixed into the gas at one pump, as a service to their customers? If fuel economy increases by 10%, people would cheerfully pay an extra 2%, most of which would be pure profit to the retailer. Since their margin on gas is just $.08/gallon or so, independents should be all over this. But they're not. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

This is kinda like the 80 MPG carbs that were supposed to exist in 60's and 70's because people want to believe in it. Heat energy is what drives a motor and acetone is not going to increase the heat content of fuel 10 to 25% to allow it to produce more power. I suspect that some that claimed to have benifited from it is because it is a power solvent and it cleaned out their fuel system so it worked better (so would a bottle of fuel system cleaner) and they believed it was the magic of acetone. You are far more likely to gain 5 or 10% more MPG with higher octane fuel in a modern engine than with any snake oil like acetone. A modern gas engine is about 30% efficent (give or take) at best and there is about 50 HP in a gallon of 100% gas which mean best case is maybe about 16 HP hours at fly wheel for each gallon of fuel burned. No snake oil is going to change this but a fuel octane too low can reduce efficency so less power is captured from fuel. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

According to scientific research - about 3 ounces of Acetone added to every 10 gallons of gasoline helps some people, but NOT all, get significant increases in number of MPG, and also helps their cars run better. http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directo..._Fuel_Additive http://www.lubedev.com/articles/additive.htm Furthermore, the oil companies have purchased & locked up in their safes, certain devices that can cause gasoline & diesel engines to get huge increases in their mpg. Oil companies are there to make billions, NOT to clean up the environment or to help people spend less on fuel. Their greed knows no end. |

Because if the following is all you have, it ain't enough as this is just nonsense talk. Still, fuel needs a kick of some kind to transform from big globs into a full vapor. The acetone provides that kick with its rapid inherent molecular vibration that prevents fuel from escaping the combustion process and going through unburned. What, scientifically, is this kick that fuel needs? In what way is acetone providing it? And if this kick is necessary and only acetone can provide it, exactly how is it that engines have ever run without it? Best estimations are that Acetone added to fuel may act as a cleaner dissolving deposits within the fuel system. The same thing any fuel system cleaner will do for you. |
