Message: <blockquote data-quote="babahni" data-source="post: 548680" data-attributes="member: 13115">Acetone pro and conYes there are pro and con about this subject , I quote the con one ;Acetone is an extremely AGGRESSIVE solvent.As mentioned above it ate right through a plastic cap that someone was using to measure it out.Certain part within the engine system may NOT be acetone tolerant if one uses it continuously.In other words the Acetone could do exactly as the article says ... but at the same time be destroying engine parts that will cost more to replace than the money saved on the fuel.One thing to be checked is that elsewhere some have reported that some fuel additives have Acetone as an ingredient (Fuel System Cleaners?) but I have not been to the auto parts store to look at the labels and verify. This makes sense because of the VERY AGGRESSIVE solvent nature of acetone ... but that aggressiveness that would help it to clean out the fuel system is not necessarily something that you want in your tank for every tankful (the website recommends only adding it every other tank full).I am curious to see how people´s experience is ... but I´ll let others do the real world testing before I start dumping it in my tank since I am not very anxious to be be replacing parts like fuel pumps, injector pumps and even injectors ... things taht may not be long term Acetone tolerant.Now the pro one :acetone is a solvent, not a corrosive liquid. Though it reacts with some plastics, most plastics are made with petroleum.1. Is unleaded fuel a petroleum product?Yes2. Does acetone reduce the surface tension of unleaded fuel, which is a petroleum product?From LaPointes´ research, Yes.3. Are plastics made from petroleum products.Yes4. Would it be so wrong to expect that acetone would reduce the surface tension of some plastics causing them to "appear" like they melted, when in all actually acetone reduced the surface tension of another petroleum product.No, it would not be wrong to expect this.5. Does this mean acetone eats through metal?Absolutely not.6. Do motor oils contain detergents and solvents that break down sludge and varnish in an engine, and do not harm the moving metal parts?All this articles can be read at :<a href="http://www.godlikeproductions.com/bbs/message.php?page=1&topic=3&message=89836&mpage=&showdate=5/7/05" target="_blank">http://www.godlikeproductions.com/bbs/message.php?page=1&topic=3&message=89836&mpage=&showdate=5/7/05</a></blockquote>
