acetone?
acetone?
hey everyone i know there was a huge arguement like a month ago on this but now that i have been reading more and more threads where people have said they used it, im thinking about it. It was a touchy subject before i know, but iwas wondering if someone that has used it could tell me the pro's and con's of the stuff. im just a little skeptical of pouring forgeign fluids in my gas tank but if so many other people have done it, why not?
Racer,
I hope you don't mind me sending the text of the article via email but it explains more than I can. I've been using it for 7 months and have not had any problems. I believe the octane rating for acetone is 150; 7 oz to a tank is not enough to harm the engine octane-wise.

I retransmitted the info. On your profile, it doesn't show your email address. You can reach me at repealnow@hotmail.com if you don't get it again.

I saw the article there referring to and blew it full of holes, it;s BS.

someone should probably just delete this thread since a couple people are just looking for trouble. I just merely asked if anyone has used it and what they found.. not the opinions of a couple yahoos that are looking for trouble.

Zapster, Blue Grass,
What info do you have that disproves the article? I'm not a chemist but I could understand the intent of the article's author on lubedev.com (the website has since been taken down). I am equally interested in your opinion.
I'm a user of acetone but have attempted to not indicate it's a performance improver, merely an additive that may assist in combustion.
Please reply with your info that disproves the articles information.

im also curious... i could see if you were skeptical like i am about using it. but i never said it DID or DIDN'T work. if you have used it and it ruined something of yours then i would agree it is bad. but if you have never used it and are going by what a friends friends brother told you then i would have to say its not accurate information
Here are a few links to help you make a decision:
