I was trying to put some pure acetone which I just bought for 5 dollars for 32oz into my car, and i only had about a gallon of gas inside so i was putting about 6 ml worth and i used a medicine measuring cup lil thing ontop of medicine bottles and as i was walkin to the car the acetone started coming out and it had ate through the bottom of the cup thing!. I have a 1994 cadillac fleetwood and it has the 5.7 LT1 engine in it do you think I will get a drastic improvement in mpg efficiency?

Just in case anybody is taking this troll seriously...

1. Acetone has a lower heat content than gasoline but costs more. It is not economical. Or magic.

2. If you uses enough of it you can actually be charged for the missing fuel taxes you are avoiding.

3. Acetone can be harmful to a variety of gaskets, Orings and hoses etc.

Don’t use the little measuring cup things for acetone. That’s what styrofoam coffee cups are for.

I hear in Mexico they prefer using:
2 parts acetone
7 parts automatic transmission fluid
4 parts isopropal
1 splash of triple sec

MPG improvement? no, I do think you sniffed the acetone fumes for way too long.

Did the Qualudes kick in about 1/3 of the way through your typing of your post?

You should have put it all in. Then you would have significantly increased your gas mileage.

Best,

Three things. 1) 29.58 ml/fl.oz. So, 6 ml for 1 gallon is about right (it's a bit low, actually; 7 ml is somewhat more precise), 2) make certain you're using a 1% solution of acetone, 3) uh, acetone is a solvent; it dissolves many plastics, and certain other materials, quite readily.

In filling up a 15-gallon tank, use 3.54 oz (3.5 is certainly close enough) of 1% acetone. This is approximately 7 tablespoons (use a metal tablespoon, ok?).

On your second full tank and thereafter, you should see something on the order of 3 mpg better fuel mileage.

If you're near a chemical plant, you might inquire about getting some waste trimethylbenzene or even xylene from them. Small amounts of these can bump your mpg another 2-3.
