nuzman Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 As my dad always says, there are only three things to put into a normal engine block: oil, coolant and gasoline. Acetone in gas sounds like a good way to cause some damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaker Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) Acetone in Gasoline interesting EDIT: Well, hmm, now what to think?

Bonj87 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 i know you can add propane tanks to diesels.. can u do that to a truck like ours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 i know you can add propane tanks to diesels.. can u do that to a truck like ours?Different application. Propane is like NO2 to a diesel, I think. You can convert to propane power, but you can't mix gasoline and propane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desrtrat Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Different application. Propane is like NO2 to a diesel, I think. You can convert to propane power, but you can't mix gasoline and propane. you can run a gas engine on propane. used a lot of them back in the 70s gas " shortage " could run a mix or straight, depending on your carb setup. use to run 15kw generators on propane Acetone is known to deteriorate cheap plastics and other substances. While the components in a car's fuel system should be of high quality, and thus immune to any deleterious effects from exposure to acetone, be aware that "ideal" is not always the case in practice. Be advised that not all systems have been tested against acetone. Until such thorough testing has been accomplished and certified by a accredited authority, you assume your own liability for experimentally testing acetone in your particular system maybe if you were setup to run E85 then i think the fuel system would hold up good luck if you try it...

CoolBlueSS Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Oh ok. I wasn't aware you could mix them. I thought it was one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersub Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 you can run tolulene and xzlyene in gas engines,kenne bell used to print "best kept secrets for your turbo buick back in the late 80's and early 90's.IT DOES WORK! Tolulene actually rasies the total octane 2 full points with 1 gallon to every 15 gallons of gas.It also cleans the entire fuel system,loosens all deposits and gets burned thru the exhaust.I use it on a regular basis. burned two gallons on the way to zippy event this year.

Bad Bowtie Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 The acetone trick is just that a "TRICK". It has been tested before on another web forum. The gains, if ANY, were MINIMAL to say the least. And Yes, u can run propane with gasoline, just ask "Bobby". He helps sell Propane and Propane accessories. LOL!!!
