Ever notice that some folks will say acetone works just fine and then don't have the gonads to sign their name. And then on top of that say something stupid like, 100% acetone does very little damage to rubber.
I've said this once, and this will be my last time so pay attention here. Drop a plastic object, {your favorite ball point pen will work} in acetone and see what happens. {ball point pen injected engines are not subject to this test} and I do understand that all plastics are not made equal. Now drop your favorite color "O"ring in acetone and see what happens.{for us dummies that do our own maintenance, we have to think about the O"rings that seal fuel filters, and the plastic fuel lines under our cars and trucks not melting from acetone while setting in the garage or driving down the hiway } Now think about this" If three or five ounce of acetone in ten gallons of gasoline will up your milage, then how bout? nine or fifteen to ten gallons and really get the old rust bucket earning it's keep, or maybe a gallon of acetone to a tank will get you plum cross country? This BS never stops, so do the test. and remember, there are "so called" smart people that do dumb stupid things, and then try to convince others to do the same, they can then say they wasn't the only dummy that screwed up his ride....SO DO THE TEST... And it's been said rat here by some on YT, that it boost's Diesel engines as well. So those of you that rebuild Diesel injection pumps,{this is a money maker if there ever was one} dump a few of your old {or new} used injector pump seals in acetone, red seals, black seals, whatever you got, and see what happens... And I know that dilution is ticket, but it's kinda like telling a drunk when he's had enough. So do it if you will, but save your money, you gonna need it for repairs later..

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
