Acetone as an Additive
This project page was created as an adjunct to the following article by Louis LaPointe, which we recommend as an introduction to the subject.
* Acetone In Fuel Said to Increase Mileage pesn.com/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone/ - Up to 35% increase reported. Acetone said to improve the fuel's ability to vaporize completely by eliminating the surface tension that causes an increase in particulate vaporization temperature. (PESN; March 18, 2005)
A growing number of people are reporting their results, as tabulated here. Most have noted increased mileage, more power, more stable idle, faster start-up, cleaner emmissions. Part of that is likely to be from the cleaning of the engine that the acetone accomplishes. A few have not seen an increase in mileage at the concentration of acetone they tried. Too much acetone decreases mileage. Alcohol in the fuel tends to negate the positive effects of acetone. No one has yet reported damage to their engine from acetone being added to the fuel. Several have soaked fuel components in pure acetone for extended periods and have not seen substantial effect other than some minor swelling.
Main Sections:
* Individual Reports - Listing of results from adding a small amount of acetone to the fuel in a wide range of vehicles.
* FAQ for Acetone Project - What does acetone do to the fuel system components? How much do I add? Will it hurt me? How does it affect performance?
