1. 100% acetone is very hard to find and very expensive.
2. it's so volatile, most of it will evaporate as you're pouring it into the tank.
3. acetone dissolves plastics. Your fuel tank is plastic.
i noticed the same effects you did using fp60 from lubecontrol.com which is safe and proven.
Ok guys....read the links!!!!!!!!!!!!! Acetone, pure, can be found ANYWHERE, and it cost me about 4 bucks for a 32 oz from Home depot! Come on guys...read before we post. thanks!

ya i know that. But those from the store are not refined to be called Pure. They have contaminants. I bought some to strip the paint off my stock gauges, and yes it practically melts plastic. When you pour it in the tank it will run down the sides. Doing this many times will eventually cause a hole to form, not to mention plastic mixing with the fuel and clogging the filter. I'm just thinking longterm. Its just a heads up. You can do whatever you want with your car.
MSDS "May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption; causes severe eye irritation, skin irritation and dermatitis; irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract; target organs: liver and kidneys. "
Did you record mileage prior to the use of Acetone and after? This way we can get an accurate measurement depending on your engine setup variables and driving habits included.

this is a HUGE fallacy.
DO NOT PUT ACETONE IN YOUR CAR!!!!!
This is as dumb an idea as opening your valve cover and pouring water into the cylinders.
They even dubunked this "myth" on mythbusters. Any "performance" you are feeling is a placebo effect.
