Thread: How to get better fuel mileage by adding acetone and other things..
Started 1 month ago by JAY25
Doing some research I read article after article that by adding 2 ounces of "PURE" acetone per 10 gallons of fuel will increase fuel mileage per gallon by 10 miles. I will be trying it, I dont think it will damage anything internally. The only thing I was able to come up with that it may rise the cylinder temperatures. The cure to that would be a set of NGK iridiums. Most people are not ...

Good read but still questionable for long term use with rubber fuel line parts such as lines to fuel filter etc. If you try it let us know the results.
I am going to try this two ways. One way I am going to dip a fuel line in this acetone, pure no gasoline. I am also going to use it in an older vehicle. I am going to try this on a Honda Civic 1.5 SOHC Vtec. I have a spare 1.6 vtec engine if anything happens to it. I was going to try this on my F250 Diesel, but forgot the rubber issue. I am going to double check to ensure that the fuel ...

I am trying it on a old car I will keep you guys posted to see how many fuel lines i will be replacing. Or how many miles I am getting to my gallon of fuel.

okay awesome, went to Home Depot and picked up a whole thing of pure acetone. I bought a measuring cup. Aside from this measuring cup I have a small digital scale. Right outside of Home Depot I had just finish putting some...

They are quite smart educated people. But I want to try it myself. If it dont work then I will take it like a man and state "It dont work". While others say it works then I want to try it myself. Trying it wont hurt, right?

All kidding aside, if cars can run on hydrogen and hydrogen can be extracted from water, why are auto manufacturers not taking advantage of this simple solution to high fuel prices?...
not to keep straying OT but.. BMW seems to be ahead of the the curve,.. THE FUTURE---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHbaOX2UAs0 and back on topic.. OP .. What were your results?
I am not referring to automobiles that use hydrogen as the sole fuel source. They are out there and even though the technology relating the hydrogen fuel cell, that I am involved with, to the ones used in producing gas that a car can run off of is almost identical, but the scale of the production is immensely different. A car that runs off of hydrogen requires alot of gas, but it is readily available through solar, wind, hydro, and thermal...

your nuts dude Quote: Originally Posted by bryan163 I did some experimenting with an electrolyzer a while ago. I had a broken arm and needed something to do while i was laid up. I ended up making a mess, spending a bunch of money, and actually got some great mileage. I've also heard of people adding inexpensive chemicals to substantially raise the octane of cheap fuel. This is a video of water being broken down into pure hydrogen and...

Why beat the dead horse over and over. It didn't make a difference then and it will not make a difference now. I tried this little experiment about 7 years ago before Mythbusters ever got the idea and it didn't work...
