Adding Acetone To Fuel - markiexxx
Hi Guys,

Can anyone comment on the suggestion that adding small amounts of acetone to your fuel will produce 10-30% increases on your mpg.


Is this fact or fiction?

I've done some reaserch but am not yet that convinced to stick some in my Clio. If the chemistry behind the theory is correct then there should be no reason why this isn't true.


Your views/experiences will be most welcome. Any chemistry experts who can prove/disprove the chemical theory behind doing this?

Mark.

Have a look, I found that adding 1ml per litre to my Audi 1.9 TDI had a very immediate 2-3 mpg increase, but on our petrol Focus there was no discernible effect using 2.5ml per litre.
