    Has anyone ever heard of using acetone in the gas tank to save gas? I was just looking at some videos on youtube and cam across this.

    im not a chemist so I cant really say. I would be a little skeptical about actually putting it in because acetone is really strong. Then again, i think the guy said that he used only 2 ounces for 10 gallons of gas so its probably not as harmful when mixed with gasoline. Either way, i wouldnt want to be adding it in because im not sure what the long term consequences are.

    on similar (gas additives) but different subjects. Toluene can be used to raise octane levels. Never seen that mentioned on here.
