Has anyone added pure acetone to their gas to improve the performance and milage? There is alot an the internet about it, anyone have personal experience? Is it safe on the engine?

As per Snopes: This is false

Give it a try , Let us know how it works LOL

Acetone costs as much, or more, than gasoline. Plus it doesn't explode quite as nicely and leaves residue behind. The good news is that you get to pull your injectors for a good cleaning - or replacement - afterward and you still get to look forward to the fun of replacing every rubber seal in your fuel path. Cool.


I did a random search andin 30-seconds had this:

"And next week on Techinical Warrior Talk, Sin_City will ask us how to repaint a gas tank after a nail polish remover spills on it!"

I think I'd rather build an HO2 bubbler bong then add acetone. And that is something I'm NOT going to do. lol

Well of course you would, he got a whopping 34mpg or whatever it was when he was using his electro-bong! Who wouldn't want THAT??

Let's do both. The e-bong will magically keep the acetone from damaging the rubber seals . . . honest.

This moron at work added Acetone to his gas tank in his BMW (car) after reading about it on the internet. He ended up blowing a spark plug clear out of the cylinder head. Asif this wasn't enough he still thought it was a good idea to add acetone to the gas tank on his Kawisaki Ninja. I'm not sure what happened in that case. But what I do know, is that ever since he has not ridden the bike to work even once. That leads me to believe it's out of comission. Don't believe everything you read. Acetone is nasty stuff.

try beer....it costs a little more than gasoline, but at least when it shuts off, you have something to drink....

Don't believe everything you read.

It's amazing that it's still necessary to remind people that things they read on the internet may not be true. Amazing and sad...

Apparently this has been going around so much, the show 'Mythbusters" tackled the subject and debunked it. I was just looking for any personal experience, if anyone admitted to it! Thanks for the replies.
