Well, let me stir the pot some. Try Googling adding Acetone to gasoline and see what you come up with.
Let me be the first to say that I have NEVER tried it, but was going to when I did have a gasoline powered car, and will never try that in my old AC-B lawn mower. Its too old to screw with, and I aint screwing with it, right down to the non-detergent oil that I still use in it.
BUT...my brother first told me about adding acetone to gasoline years ago. Listened to some scientist fella that supposedly does it and has been ever since Al Gore gasoline where stuff is added to cause less pollution, but gums up the motors, especially lawn mowers, and is less potent, so have to use more to get as far. Anyway, supposedly acetone counteracts the Al Gore additives, causing better fuel economy, and supposedly keeps the engine internals cleaner big time. As I understand it, it works well with premium grade gasoline, not so good with mid grade, and lousy with lowest grade. Rumor has it that when first use it, cleans the garbage out of the tank, which ends up in the filter, clogging stuff up, and I hear eats plastics and rubbers too, but once get the quirks worked out, is supposed to be the cats meow
Again, for the record I HAVE NEVER TRIED IT, although I bought it to try before I sold the gasoline car that I always ran premium in. Again, I aint going to try it in the AC-B,aint going to add to no diesel tractor or truck.
Maybe someone else has tried or heard of adding Acetone to gasoline? Try Googling "Adding acetone to gasoline", and you will find plenty on it, that's for sure.
