Anyone put acetone in their fuel before?...

[Stanchiam]

I have a question: If my full tank is 45L, assuming acetone amount is 35ml and added in. What if next time I pump from half tank or any mark from full tank, how should we add the acetone amount?

u just find out what is the amount you pump in, eg u pump in 20L, then add 20x1000/640 ml ace

you ignore what u added previously as u will not want to keep track of history, just make sure the newly added fuel is added with your ratio

1000/640 is the ratio recommended by one of the site, u may change to other ratio

Actually, the problem is not wif the car companies but wif oil companies. He definitely got this point wrong. Wat can car manufacturers do? Lace their components wif acetone?

 

Oil companies come out wif additives too like V-Power and Techron. But who is to say that the main ingredient is not acetone? After all, the purpose is for cleaner engines to function better. They are not gonna tell everyone that its acetone they added rite?

 

As for ethanol, its a cheaper alternative made fm plants which some countries wif the economies of scale can do. Thailand and Brazil are 2 of them that I know of which does it.

Saw it too. But petrol being solvent in nature, won't affect the parts that he mentioned?

But one's gotta ask who is paying his salary?

Our local workshops' machineries are given to them by the oil companies in turn for buying a quota of engine oil fm them monthly. If can't hit quota, workshops have to buy it fm the oil companies to hit their quota.

one of the bro result http://www.mycarforum.com/index.php?showto...t&p=3698213

 

there is 2 group of people

one group think this is useless, they keep saying if this is useful, wouldn't oil company added it or people around encourage using it

say acetone will melt your plastic, cause corrosion etc etc

yah, most likely oil company saying that or pay some money to some "expert" to say that so that people will not dare to try

just like long time ago tobacco company publish result saying smoking will not cause cancer etc....lol

imagine saving 5-15% of fuel will mean oil company selling same percentage less of fuel per day

that will be billions dollar of less sale, if u are oil company, u will not want that to happen.

 

then there is another group who is willing to try as the rising cost of fuel give more incentive for experiment

if price of fuel is low, even if there is proven result, they wouldn't even bother to try

 

anyway, my thinking, adding 30-40ml of acetone into 40L of fuel will not do harm as the amount is too diluted

but this little amount of acetone according to user who tried will enhance the "vaporization" of the fuel and thus make it burn thoroughly

thus making it more fuel efficient and thus saving fuel

some even said the acetone will do a little cleaning to the system and thus make engine and tubing etc cleaner

further making it more fuel efficient

 

those who insist acetone will melt tubing etc, yah go fly kite and see if u will be lift off by the kite into other space

all theory and no practical for those people, i will go rub and poke and try then say if it is good or not

some people even say the sound deaderner i bought from china will melt, yah it cheap, but it would not melt

i have been waiting for months and it is still the same.

Those who insist that it will melt your car etc, just stay away, simple as that, those who tried ace already know those rumors before that tried ace.

Those who never tried durian say it's content is same as s hit, just stay away, simple as that

well said, another example is those huge ratings company like standard and poor etc, they give double or triple A ratings for lehman bro just before it collaspe.(actually they are paid good amount if they give good ratings)

so, who u trust? your brain or them???

emmm if can tabulate a list of ppl, wat car they drive, how big is their tank and how much they add + their before/after FC lagi better. haha.

I just did a refill this afternoon.

 

My regular FC is between 19 to 20km/litre. No additives no modifications. All stock. All factory parts.

 

After the first dosage. FC is 19.04 km/litre.

 

Although no improvement, my vehicle now has more torque. Very confident going up gradients.

 

Past few days the afternoons are so blardy hot. No choice but to set my air-con 23 deg or below.

 

I guess if i revert back to 25 or 26 deg, I should see the improvement.

 

Also, I think I added too little Ace the first time. I increase the amount making up for the evaporation rate.

 

Will continue to monitor and report.

[Stanchiam]

according to the chart, optimal rate is achieved using 3oz for every 10 gallon of fuel

your fc is superb already

what car u driving and how much ace you add to fuel rate?

Homely hardware in Ubi sells them in 3.5L tin at $11.20, they have stores located at other areas also, just google for homely.

 

Happy hunting

[Crazybugger]

errr ...

 

3.5L for $11.20 vs 80ml for $2.70?

 

I'll go for Guardian .... cheaper and much more convenient size! whatever happened to economies of scale??

errr..... bro, your maths a little haywire, how can it be cheaper in guardian??

 

3500ml / 80 ml = 43.75 times the size

43.75 x 2.70 = $118.125 if u buy 3.5L or 43.75 bottles from guardian

 

think u may need to learn a little maths lesson from primary kids to touch up a little

ahem...

How can Guardian's 80ml bottle of acetone $2.70 be cheaper than 3500ml at $11.20? I do however agree that it's more of a convenient size... But if you are trying this out for the first time which I'm going to, I'll go for Guardian's... If you are going on this for long term, no doubt it'll be the 3.5L tin...

 

Just that I'm a bit apprehensive about the purity of the acetone in them 3.5L tins...

 

So those bros that have got it from Homely and other hardware shop, so far so good?
