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

"

Isn't that a condition of raising the octane level? to make the fuel, acetone, ergo gasoline, more volatile?

Not when added to gasoline and kept in suspension/partial solution; the oil companies already add a small amount.

Most fuel systems have evaporative emissions controls on them. The acetone may evaporate, but it won't leave without being burned in the engine.
In fact, after driving my car for a while, the fuel system IS under pressure. "Wait until the hissing stops before removing gas cap completely".
