what does it do to plastic or rubber seals?

So should I add acetone to my fuel?

[Rakkasan1]

I thought the reason for nitrous being illegal was it's combustive nature. isn't this ,too?

[subterfuge]

Plus, it can be used to remove nail polish!

[728b]

Interesting!

[RightWhale]

The acetone will evaporate rapidly unless the tank and fuel system is pressurized.

[Rytwyng]

Acetone is also the LEAST smog-generating of all the VOCs and is therefore one of the few organic solvents exempt from EPA regulation.

How would this, if at all, affect power? No power difference, I would have no problem using it. If there is a power difference however, I wouldn't want to use it.

I wonder if that's what's in RXP Gas Kicker.

[SlowBoat407]

Yeah, I'm gonna try that on my vehicle. I'm also gonna try that new technique for making my computer run faster - a special virus that actually improves its performance!

Lots of additives would increase mileage, but not penny for penny against gas.

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Acetone has an inherent molecular vibration

And just what is this supposed to mean? Any molecule above absolute zero has an inherent molecular vibration.

I saw this on another site yesterday. My question is what happens to the seals and gaskets?

[recalcitrant]

supposedly, one of the most volatile carcinogens on the list.

aka... lacquer thinner....

I've invented a special carburator that gets 200 MPG and runs on water, but of course the oil companies and General Motors won't let anyone use it.

I'm keeping my day job (temporarily). Would you like fries with that?

[Paradox]

Not just the plastic and rubber seals, but I would be afraid that the acetone might lead to a greater "wash down" of the cylinder walls and other lubricated surfaces, leading to greater wear.

Note that the plastic and rubber problems can be engineered out using resistant polymers. The lubrication problem is probably just something in my head :)

Acetone allows gasoline to behave more like the ideal automotive fuel which is PROPANE.

There's a natural fuel substance that runs rings around every energy source aside from perpetual motion - INDUSTRIAL HEMP!

Industrial hemp can be used for millions of things. It can be used for paper, fuel, clothing, and skin care products. But NOOOOO....Mommy and Daddy Government says hands-off....

So I guess a diabetic could run out, and whizz in their gas tank and increase their cars milage...Acetone is found in plants, trees, volcanic gases, forest and bush fires, and a product of the breakdown of body fat.
