fuel with acetone

[gw33gp]

It would dry out the rubber. It is also is the primary chemical in brake fluid and brake CLEANER. It destroys lubricity. That means it will remove the lubing properties of the fuel and screw up pumps and injectors.

Brake fluids do not contain acetone. They contain various types of glycol ethers and racing brake fluid can also contain ether esters. Acetone would boil at the lightest braking from the heat. Having a highly flammable solvent in the brake system would not be a very good idea. The flash point of acetone is 15 degrees F.

Using a little acetone in gasoline will not harm anything. 2 oz. per 10 gallons is only 0.15% acetone. That is not enough concentration to damage the fuel system. It should help to clean the fuel system. I have used occasionally it in my 02 Ranger for about the past 6 yrs to clean the fuel system. With around 115,000 miles on it, it runs as good as it did new. The only thing I have replaced in the fuel system is the fuel pump other than standard fuel filter replacement. Replacement of the fuel pump at around 100K miles is not uncommon. Actually, the fuel pump still worked but the anti-back flow valve in it was allowing the pressure to bleed off when shut off.

I am with your opinion. its not even bother these a tiny amount compared to resservoir. I use it as a once every 2 or 3 months ..if you put it too often might it damage the injector and the float level, my tiny amounts to 2 or 3 months is nothing damaging to me consern

Some on here say good, some say bad. Does anyone know for sure? Has any professional organization done a study on this? Is the increase gas mileage claim
bogus? Is a little acetone once in a while good for cleaning out fuel system?
What to believe?

There will never be an objective study done. I was in walmart and grabbed a can of seafoam that was leaking and smelled of acetone. It is the major component of fuel system cleaners at $10 for 1/2 pint. Kinna like deck cleaner is common bleach for 10 times the amount just for a label. If you use injector cleaner too much it will damage your fuel system also but in small amounts 3-4 oz once or twice a year the studies have already been done.

okay, as I heard that proffessional bodywork used for removing the varnish and chewing on their tool. I guess it'll do the same for my truck away the varnish in my line and injector....---»I know one thing for the product, its float level that it is plastic in my small amount premix 2oz per 10 gallons, I think it will not affect my system


---»»I always 94 in my 2009 truck. I believe that gasoline is cleaner than regular
