Snake oil.... No different that putting airplane fuel in it. First time thru it might clean it up, after that it is extra octane that isn't needed.

I read the articles. It appears this only works in poorly constructed vehicles. Sorry guys, it won't work in a chevy with less than 100,000 miles that has never been serviced. Seriously,the articles state that acetone works by providing a longer combustion cycle to completely harness the fuel in the cylinder. If you drive a quality vehicle that was engineered properly you are unable to benefit because your fuel is already obtaining a complete burn. Funny, mid to late '90s fords appear to gain the most from acetone. Fords and Dodges make good test subjects, like roaches, cause no one cares if you kill them.

I am glad to hear alot of responses on this one. I hope Regal will respond since he was going to use it in his truck, and I would like to see the results. So do you guys think it may be safe to run it every other tank, or maybe one tank then let 4-5 tanks run through then try again? I can't afford to screw up my truck. Also with this "supposed" increased milage do you think you will lose HP? Cause you know I can't have a yota beating me off the line just cause I get 25 mpg. Ha!!
