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?

If it doesn’t work in your car you can remove nail polish with it.

Some free advice: Don’t play with matches.

Think of buying a Prius, horribly conventional, but probably safer.

Actually, sugar or beach sand will solve your gas mileage problems just as quickly and even cheaper. The engine will go bye-bye and you can find another means of transportation.

Just in case that you are not trolling, I will answer plainly.

Acetone is a powerful solvent. Unless your vehicle owner's manual states that your engine NEEDS acetone, I would put it back in the bottle so your female relatives can use it as fingernail-polish-remover.

Seriously, are you STONED?

BTW.

A 1948 Buick will go 160mph on a mixture of avgas and mothballs.

One time.

If I understand you correctly, the acetone ate through the container you were using as a measuring cup. Which sounds like you didn’t add any acetone to your tank at all.

Which means you will see no change in your mpg efficiency at all.

Don’t add acetone to your gas.

Why not drink some while you’re at it?

Yeah, bud. Go 50/50 and it will be a jet.

"it had ate through the bottom of the cup thing!"

This is a joke right?

Why not try some nitro mixed with gas and tell me how it works out.

Acetone, and rubber gastank top fuel lines, plastic gastank, and rubber fuel lines under the hood do not mix.
Not unless you LIKE having gummy taffy like hoses that blow out under minimal pressure when you need power the most.
Not to mention the gastank turning to ooze beneath your car, slowly, drop by drop.

I suggest you add all the acetone, but only when you’re on final approach to Glasgow Airport.

I used to be in the Taxidermy business. I used a solution we mixed up to wash bird skins. It was comprised of 5 gallons unleaded gasoline, a quart of solvent alcholol, and a pint of turpentine.
I kept in in a jerry can on the back of my truck. On night we all went out to the bar. When I came out of the bar after midnight, the gas can top was off and the can was drained. There were motorcycle tracks on the ground. I’ll bet their chopper didn’t run too smoothly on my mixture. LOL!

Hope this guy doesn’t smoke a cigarette while he’s doing all this.
