Has anybody heard of putting acetone in your fuel? I heard it "cleans" up the fuel and helps get rid of the excess moisture. Also that it can improve fuel mileage as well as more power. I heard you want a mix of about 6 oz. to every 20 gallons of fuel. Anybody tried it??

There is much better alternatives.

Like what? Besides something like an octane booster. Just curious

Heard about things about 7 years ago supposedly it helps atomize the fuel better, never tried it. I've heard mixed results. Wouldn't try it.

Google "acetone mythbusters".

Don't think I would try it...

octane booster is BS and i would not put acetone in my gas tank... It could eat away at the orings and lines.

If you are really concerned about all this, just save yourself the headache of experimenting with this type of stuff by filling up with a high quality gas at a station known for always have good fresh petrol on the tap.

A mixture of Alcohol and Acetone in a carbureted vehicle have been shown to get better MPG and cleans the fuel system. The tailpipe emissions are also reduced. These results are both marginal. A efi vehicle with O2 sensors will enrichen the fuel mixture so you probably won't see any gain in MPG.

However, I can personally say that using Alcohol in the fuel does reduce tail emissions output in a measurable amount. I have used this to help vehicles that have failing cats that were only barely not passing the tailpipe test.

Acetone and Alcohol are common ingredients in Fuel system cleaners so if you want a home made fuel injector cleaner you could try them or you could just put the appropriate cleaner.

In conclusion, You are posting this in the 2011+ engines forum and I would not use this stuff in a 2011 vehicle to increase power or mpg because I don't think it would do either. These new engines are extremely sensitive to fuel so this is probably a bad idea.

you should look into AMSOIL products.
