some people mix fuel and acetone to get better mileage daw....

it's like mixing kerosene and diesel to avoid smoke belching...

if using kerosene has its long term damage to the ride....i believe acetone would cause one too.

I find this interesting... adding acetone in gasoline. Almost makes me want to try it out.

Given the conversion of oz and gallons.
3oz for every 10 gallons
1oz = 29ml
10gallons = 40liters (approx)
87ml for every 40 liters of gasoline
58ml for every 30 liters of gasoline

from the graph, its about 25% to 35% gain in fuel milage depending on amount of acetone added to your gasoline.

Dapat meron tayong spare car to do experiments like this. I'm hesitant to do this on my daily ride.

Just noting: at mercury drug, 120ml of pure acetone costs P42.00

hahaha... mas mahal pa pala yan sa gasolina...

dito kasi you can buy acetone in gallons way below 42 per 120ml

Pwede kaya yan sa mga EFI?

acetone at Mercury (P42.00/120mL) is P0.35/mL.

if we use the mixture of 3oz/10gal ~ 87mL/40li, it will only cost an additional P30.45 per 40 liters of gas, or P0.76 per liter of gas, this for additional 35% mileage! not bad na rin. now who's gonna try this out?

hmmm. tamang-tama. pagkatapos nyo mag test, may pangtanggal na si gretzy ng nail polish nya. hehehehe.

I already got a graduated cylinder to measure the amount of acetone. I already have the 120ml bottle of acetone (from mercury drug). I guess I might be doing this when I next fill up my gas tank.
