A friend just sent me an extensive article on the benefits of adding a small amount (1 oz per 10 gal) of acetone to gas or diesel fuel to help vaporize the fuel for better performance and mileage. You can read it yourself at:
www.PureEnergySystems.com. Scroll on down to Tier 3. I think that personally I'll be a little hesitant to add something to my fuel that might hurt that mighty Cummins..........but then again, with the escalating cost of fuel.........??? What do you guys think ??

Lar.

its a great way to get even with crooks [coffee] ;) I still laugh, the "Friend" who stole my jeep took the can of gas i had attached on the back which was full of acetone and fuel.... premixed ratio for a 55 gallon drum that i was planning on adding it to. little hot ya know. He may have stolen my jeep , my guns, and my tool box and several otherthings hours before i was to leave to California for a new job but i got the last laugh when i heard that the cops found the re-vin plated jeep on the side of Highway 200 in the middle of a snow storm with the pistons melted to the block and an empty jerry can inside the jeep two weeks later.

Wonder if that fool ever made it home [deadhors] [laugh]

As to the acetone in fuel we used to use it as poor mans race fuel in a couple of vehicles at demo derbys 12 tablespoons to 55 gallons 20 tablespoons and things started melting pretty quick IIRC it been a few years since then

I had a 1992 F-350 with a non-turbo 7.3 and I ran 3 oz of Acetone to 10 gal fuel, religously until my acetone was done (boy that stuff is cold) I did pickup some MPG (about 1.3 on average), and that was through aprox 5-6 tank fulls. I do not know if i would try it on a newer truck though, but it helped starting and didnt seem to do as much black smoke. I didnt care much about the truck though

I tested it for about a month. It made no difference for me.
