before even clicking on teh link i know what you are talking about.. Yes it does work. I have seen studies on it before on the web, although i can't remember where.

Not something i am gonna put in my new engine, although the company car.... hummm :twisted:

If it starts workin' let us know, thats valuable custom fabrication money that we're wasting on gas instead of overbooking your schedule with :lol: :lol:

Here's the key phrase/disclaimer

The degree of improved mileage depends on how much unburned fuel you are presently wasting

So if you have a gas hog that you can smell the raw fuel in the exhaust - yeah it could help some.
I can't see that it would help any on a correctly run injected/computerized motor.

Also at Home depot, auto parts or paint stores

Do like the article says though. Make sure it says "100%" Acetone. Some of the stuff at the paint stores is a mix.

Been considering doing this as well. Might give it a try now, that someone I know of is doing it and seeing a difference.

Thanks Detour!

It's too close to April 1st for me to consider this kinda thing. :wink:

Just to put your mind at ease a little. There has been a discussion about this on Ramcharger Central since before the new year.
