Default Has anyone ever heard of this?

Im not to sure what to think as much as I would love it to actually work, I think its a load of bull. Wouldn't acetone eat away at gas lines and other things?

I tried it on my Nissan Fronteer. It did not increase the mileage but it did appear to make the engine run smoother. I ran it for about 5000 miles at a rate of 1 oz per 10 gals of gas. I would fill up and do the math and use a large syringe to add the acetone. I had no ill effects to my truck, but it was a pain in the a$$ to use. I have not tried it in my Dak .

i dont know.... pretty leary about putting foreign things into the tank. I dont even use the FI cleaners. I would be afraid of the long term effects.
