WHAT ALLUH TINK OF THIS????? (GAS SAVING METHOD)

centralized(m)

I find it to be very interesting and believable so i'm willing to try it some time!

has any one here try to use acetone to get fuel mileage gains??????

Throw some of your girlfriend's nail polish remover into your gas tank and come back and report your results.

It will damage the rubbers.

not plenty jus in like small amounts....like 3 oz. per 10 gallons...apparently that will be enough to vaporize the fuel better so u get better combustion and less wasted gas therefore increase economy

err they tried this on Mythbusters.. it actually gives you LESS gas mileage

the theory is correct but the practical is

alluh only talking try it nah!!!!!! apparently it works according to the different types of engines/type of gas used/ how old the car is

well you try it an prove us wrong nah, cus we think is a bad idea

alyuh ever hear of this thing where you put a switch on 2 of ur injectors an cut dem off at cruising speeds..lol..i think i see dat a man in de states do this on a v6 to get sum economy..haha..them rell sufferin wit gas boi..but i wunder if that go work on a 4cylinder or if it aint go run atall

i think that the acetone is a little too strong to use in great quantities
my experience is with adding methanol,, pure methanol
those guys say they use it to clean their injectors
i used a chubby bottle in a $100 premium and did not notice any thing
i used two to a $100 and same thing
i kinna crazy so then i use a liter and feel something,,, and then gone on the cross
i do that again and went on the cross again was definitely an improvement
i then used nearly a two liter,,, the engine sounded very rough, not good like something wrong and it did not run too well either,,,,
it may have needed retuning for that mixture but did not feel that way to me , and i doh have money to buy a next rb25,, so i thin it down

what i'm saying is that you'll have to find the right mixture,,, and with acetone you'ld have to use very small quantities like in the ounces,,, and leave room to thin down if necessary

^^^ isn't there a thread here on improving octane with home-made mixtures of toluene, methanol and whatnot? methinx it had recommended mixing ratios as well

either way, to some extent using nigher octane fuel MAY help fuel economy, but that depends heavily on the engine and tuning

let's say u have a high compression pocket-rocket and your timing is all advanced and whatnot...on pump gas it's likely to ping...so the knock sensor picks up the pinging and the ecu backs off the timing and richens the mixture to save your powerplant from pre-detonation
in a case like this, using a higher octane mix means your anti-knock circuitry doesn't come into play so u actually feel an increase in power (cuz ECU isn't pulling timing) and you get slightly better economy (cuz ECU isn't dumping fuel)

other than that, it doesn't help in a stock econo-box engine...just keep it well-tuned, properly maintaned and drive economically Idea
