Jeepete, thank you for the reminder . . . I tend to think in terms of just getting chemical products to react. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Catalysts are generally used to speed up chemicals reaction times! Conversely, then, anti-knock additives are slowing down the rate the energy is being released from the fuels. Any longer-chain hydrocarbon added to the gasoline mixture will help to prevent knocking. This makes me wonder what is a good gasoline, and what is bad gasoline? And, old gasoline, why does it perform poorly? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Hey, Jeepete! I almost always attempt to let some one else try something new before I try it! However, this doesn't apply to absolutely everything in life, such as my beer or dinner. Women, who really knows! I don't worry too much about that sort of thing! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Hey, if this acetone treatment works well enough to improve mpg, at least for a short period of time, great . . . it's a lot cheaper than the occassional minature can of B.F. gunck sold in automotive stores and pushed by mechanics! Who knows, fuel treatment may be something simple or similar to acetone? I've never looked into it. We know methanol has its uses, and it's a great product for those Jeeps in the Northern Tier States and Canada (and, of course, Newfoundland, too!)a little Canadian humor <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Let us know if there is any obvious softening of plastic or rubber gas-lines. That seems to be the only negative comment thus far, that I have found. Someone, or somewhere, I read that it may have an effect of exhaust gases and catalytic converter . . . but I don't think it should where the acetone, like octane, heptane, and other gasoline fuels are oxidized to CO, CO2, and water. I appreciate you checking out the potential of this gasoline treatment.
