Acetone and me
OK here is my 2 cents...I read several articles over the past month on the subject and after doing a little detective work decided to try it. Since there are many plastic parts in the fuel system I got what I could from various places and placed all of them in pure Acetone for 2 weeks. I saw and felt no difference in the parts so I figured what the hell I might as well try it. Before I started adding Acetone to my tank I took 3 readings of MPG. I got 10.9, 11.3 and 11.6 BEFORE Acetone. I used 3 ounces to 10 gals of 87 octane gas...first tank was a full 7 ounces. Here is where it gets kind of interesting. After filling the tank and adding the Acetone I drove for about 2 miles and immediately noticed that a slight ping I had under hard acceleration was gone. Well I figured it was just wishful thinking. I drove home and let it sit overnight. Started it the next morning and started driving still no ping and I am stomping it every chance I had. I thought it felt a tad bit more responsive as well but again that could just be the placebo effect too. Does it for a fact work? I don't really know. Do I feel better about the performance of my truck? yup I sure do. Did my milage increase at all? Nope it sure didn't. My most recent MPG with the Acetone was 11.1, 11.5 and 11.8. Will I keep using it? For now, yes I guess so. Did any of this help you out any??? I hope so.
Keep On RAMMIN
