Acetone

[LeonD-4D]

Decided to try this out myself on my diesel yaris, so i added about 60ml to a full tank.

Have been driving for economy and waiting to see if it results in better mpg.

Will report progress next week.

Tank 7.

Standard V-Power only

I got 397.6 miles before the fuel light came on.

With my under guess of 25 miles (about 1 gallon) on top for the fuel left in the tank from the fuel light.

Thats - 422.6 miles, which is 34.9 mpg. So not too far of the spec mpg.

So that is just under 20 miles more than a normal Unleaded tank, or nearly 10 miles more than my first normal Unleaded and acetone tank.

Last Super Unleaded now!

All the results and report to follow next week in a new thread!

Guys

I remeber seeing Mythbusters on SKY about month ago where they tested these silly myths like adding acetone to improve the mpg, and as a result they found out that Acetone actually decreases the mpg overall.

So please don't ruin your cars and just drive carefully. Acetone will ruin any plastic or rubber pipes your car might have and after a while it will eat through the valves and may crode the fuel pipes. That's was the mythbusters conclusion.

Cheers
