Jhight, that is exactly what I have been doing. I use the same gas station on the military post for years and when i travel i only use Shell. But unfortunately I'm leaving for Korea for a year this weekend and I'm leaving my family including my truck behind. Duty Calls

See the manufactures (motorcycle) put a spray in liner in the tanks to keep them from rusting and the Acetone ate it all away, now what kind of problem is the guy that bought my bike going to have in the future? Rusted out holes in the tank.
Acetone did not get me better gas mileage, easing off the pedal did! I guess you will have to live and learn like I did, good luck!

If you don't have any facts to contribute to helping out then your just spreading rumors an your comments will be brushed off. As far as soaking seals in 100% acetone. That is a no brainer that there will be a change in size. BUT when you put 2 oz per 10 gallons, you will not see the difference. I have buddies that have been doing this method for over 10 years an have not one bit of problems only yearly savings on fuel and a cleaner engine on the inside. I'm just testing for myself because I've witnessed that it works. I just have to find out which ratio amount works best for my truck.
