I understand and can appreciate your opinion on this,but I am going to have to be one of the suckers that finds out.Just like any additive you add to your vehicles oil or gas or tranny or diff,etc,it can only help.It's not a magic cure all that will turn your car or truck into a space age machine.If you go with the intentions of making it that,then you are surely mistaken.To me any little help is good.Whether it be Mystery Oil,or Duralube,or acetone.

The question of whether or not it will harm your vehicle is to me the only concern and needs to be proven or dis-proven.

And again I have to completely dis-agree with you on the refinery adding anything that can take money out of the owners mouth's.They are million and billion airs for a reason.The rich want to keep getting richer and unfortunetely it's by stepping on the working classes necks.

 

Dude, step away from the anti-capitalistic Kool-Aid and stop feeding on the BS the news media generates. I can tell that you're young. You'll learn

 

LMAO,well if you call 39 young.Ive done a tour in the Marine Corps and have been all around the world my friend.Ive operated 5 different Meineke's for the past 18 plus years and in the work force for over 23 yrs.So its sad to see that without even knowing me,you've already determined what I know and don't know and all from your little desk and chair while typing on the computer.LOL

I don't know what world you're in friend or if you have ever even owned a business and gotten the wonderful treatment the working class business owner gets from our so generous a govt.When and if you really get out into the real world,you will be faced with these things and obviously crumble from being so naive.Unfortunetly people are greedy by nature and the more they get,the more they want.The oil company owners are not some Angels out to save us all. Wake up.They make their BILLIONS PROFIT every month how??By trying to find ways to help us? Yes,thats it.The price of gas is so high because they are suffering so much.They really are struggling with that 11.7 billion $ 2nd quarter earnings that we need to pay for it!

Im young???? LMAO

 

Ouch.

You should really read up about some additives and research before you throw stuff in your tank, oil, rad, tranny, etc:

http://neptune.spacebears.com/cars/legal/index.html

Your own service manual recommend you add NOTHING to the transmission oil and will not honor you're warranty if they find anything in it. That being said, the only additives I "might" trust are the ones that Wayne at APS sells, and only after a lengthy discussion with him about exactly what they do, and when and why he would recommend using them.

 

Maybe the refinery wouldn't add them, but if it could dramatically increase mileage, don't you think the automotive companies would be pushing it? Especially GMC, Chrysler, and Ford, who's SUV and truck markets are crashing because of gas guzzlers?

"Don't worry about that truck! You want to boost your mileage, just add acetone! Free gallon with vehicle purchase..."

 

If acetone improved fuel economy
it would have been added to
aviation gasoline by either
Germany, Japan, Britain, Russia or the USA
in the second world war.

It was life or death
and for every one of those countries listed above
there was a time where it looked like defeat was near.

You can say all you want about the evil oil companys
but why did the military of those countries not use acetone?

They sure used nitrous, they used 50/50 methanol injection, they used triptane, they used tetra ethyl lead, they used high compression, superchargers, turbo, invented fuel injection to replace carbs so that engines would not sputter in negative G's, the list goes on and on

Do you think **** science genius Albert Speer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Speer

did not know about additives to gasoline?

Then you don't know about his coal to gasoline plants,
and their extreme importance,
and how in the
'Greatest Mistake of WWII'
the US and British air force bombing mission planners
did not knock those coal to oil plants out 2 years earlier than they did.

Albert Speer and his crew had not only learned how to turn coal to gasoline
he had learn how to turn coal into explosives and synthetic rubber.

Do you think he did not know how to turn coal into acetone?

Failure to bomb those coal to gasoline plants let the war go on another 2 years and during those two years at least another 20 million people lost their lives.

 

Believe me,I won't be experimenting with my truck.As I said,this Ford is a beater so if anything happens,its no big deal.I actually have another engine at my shop to throw in it should something happen.

But as for reading up on things,I don't know if you remember how many times things were put out there to help improve your vehicle and then removed because they did damage.Im sure some can remember this.Many times car manufacturers make mistakes and thats what recalls are about..MISTAKES made by the "EXPERTS".

 

The US would have a tremendous amount of fuel if we converted our coal to gasoline, which was in the works during the Oil Embargo of the 1970's. When the Arabs saw how serious we were, *BLAMMO*, they wanted to play ball and the price of oil tumbled.

We need to put that in the works again.

It's a little more complex than them just one day saying lets use acetone.You're talking about major players in the economic industry.It does take a little bit more time and research.

Plus,don't you think that the oil companies have any say in what is put out on the market?I think they have some pull.

Aside from that,what do you think people would say if all of a sudden the Auto manufacturers announced that they are now adding acetone to their vehicles because it saves MPG and have not done it yet? Sh*t a brick comes to mind.This is the sew crazy era.How many lawsuits you think would be brought against everyone from the car manufacturer to the oil company?
