Hello everyone,
I run a high mileage (>140k) VW Passat 110 TDi and have never tried using additive such as Millers etc. (See previous topics) In September Roly93 mentioned adding 1ml of Acetone for each litre of diesel in a previous discussion thread. Sounds like a good, cheap fuel-saving tip! Please let me know more re Acetone....(would the engine be at any risk?)
(I must add that I acheive >53mpg on any trips over 10 miles [after which my old cruiser is well warmed up] and 49mpg around town on rarer short trips so I'm not overly worried about fuel economy!)
Thanks,
TDi Man

I find this link useful.

The answer to your question is that acetone has the capacity to damage rubbers especially and some plastics.

I would have thought that if it was both advantageous and safe to add acetone to diesel then the fuel companies would incorporate it in diesel fuel.

How do you know they don't?

I'm getting a strange feeling of deja vu.........

If I wasn't bothered about fuel economy (see OP) I wouldn't be putting stuff in my fuel which might or might not wreck my common rail injection system!

Thanks for your replies. Bye for now....
