Been using acetone for 10 years, 2 oz per 10 gal, and it's been working ever since, with no damage to any of the fuel components. Raised my mpg from 15 to 18, with no change in driving habits and no removal of excess weight.
Just saw this, may I check with you? How do you mix them, just fill up the thank with gas and when you reach home just pour the acetone directly into the fuel tank with a funnel just like in this video? Thanks
It is in small amounts! Acetone and Xylene is mixed in to boost octane, At oil refineries! Do you know premium gas smells like paint thinner? I will say this is an alternative to premium fuel carbon deposit fix, causing timing to get pulled Because of higher compression ratio of carbon deposits in cylinder wall! This all comes down to not driving your car correctly. Foot all the way down Foot all the way up cruise control. If you have The traction to do it! Average over 20 miles per gallon in a 392ci pushing out over 500hp
Indrid Cold there’s still plenty of residual oil and there’s immediate oil once the car is on, it’s the whole point of the anti-drain back valve in the oil filter. The damage usually talked about when starting the car is in reference to when the engine is cold (aka not up to operating temperature, doesn’t mean -30F.) Heat cycles are what really kill an engine over time. There’s no way to stop micro cracks from forming during the expansion and contraction.
I added Acetone and gained another 25 MPGs and about 290 extra HP, then I thought, lets stick a Honda sticker on there, and BAM another 600 HP just like that, plus when I drove it, it sounded like BRRRAAAAAAAAAAP!!!! BRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!
I had a similar experience. I purchased a Hello Kitty sticker and immediately noticed a difference. Car purred like a kitten. This was an immediate savings in my weekly gas expense of $320.00. I'm like...Shit! So I added another hello kitty sticker. Freakin' amazing ...Doubled my gas savings to $640.00 a week.

Acetone doesn't increase your mileage. Snopes and NPR's Car Talk agree that while it does nothing to increase mileage, it can cause significant damage to your rubber engine components. Don't use it. Kipkay, do better research next time.
MrSupercar55 Yes, I know what he said. I still can't help suspecting that he doesn't really know what he's talking about. If the stuff is that great, why doesn't everybody use it in their car?
Dirk Diggler It "aids in the vapourisation". As a nerd, I am enjoying this. Gasoline (we call it petrol here in England btw) gives off vapours. The vapours are flammable, not the liquid itself. Spark plugs at the top of an engine's cylinders ignite the vapours. Gasoline is given an octane rating, which is the percentage of octane present in the fuel. Regular "unleaded" has an octane rating of 95, while premium has an octane rating of 97-98. Putting acetone in the fuel will only have the same effect as using 97/98 RON.
Want to improve gas mileage? Buy a manual, less to go wrong and the mileage is easily an extra 2-3 miles. That whole idea about Acetone in the tank is a bad idea.Instead, go to your local car shop and buy 'injector cleaner.' Brands like Lucas have been around forever and they are designed to unclog fuel injectors, valves, and they add octane to the fuel. Replacing a fuel filter is also rather cheap and easy to install.
Not true, Acetone is pretty good stuff. been using it for years on several cars and they work like a charm, been enjoying the extra 4-5 mpgs. Plus it's cheaper than those "injector cleaners/ fuel enhancers". A quart of acetone will be sufficient for 14 fill-ups on a medium car or more.
RSH21 Manual's have always had the advantage over automatics when it comes to gas mileage. There can be a difference from 2mpg - 7mpg with the same car model. Don't know about you but that adds up quiet a bit over time in my opinion. Gas today contains ethanol which is a cleaning agent, but low quality gas can still build up deposits over time. Injector cleaner isn't going to "boost performance" or "tune up" your car, but it can stabilize, and help reduce knocks and pings in your engine. Good to see your a certified mechanic, congrats!
Commonplace for people who purchase a car at a dealership to trade in their car to the same dealership for a different model if there is something they don't like about it. Just sales tactics
That's because there's more energy in a gallon of diesel fuel than in a gallon of gas. The US government changed the pricing structure for fuel so you were paying for the amount of energy per gallon. Remember when diesel was less expensive than gas?
easiest simplest things that work without any side-effects on ur vehicle: 1.choose low rolling resistance tires (when buying tires) 2.pump them up higher then suggested psi, even 4 psi more helps a lot (also makes the car feel more responsive) 3.drive at speed limit or just above it, not speeding. 4.accelerate in a way that you can feel your car is shifting gears quickly and not revving the rpms. 5.idle your car for a short while, basically you can drive it as soon as you feel the rpms reducing. Dont put it in gear when rpms are high, it is an indication that the oil has not circulated throughout the engine. 6.remove unnecessary junk from ur trunk. 7.if in dry conditions, drive behind other large vehicles (at a safe distance).
my experience with acetone has been great, in a 1969GMC with a 305 and 2 brl carburetor. but you need to be careful with it in newer cars. it can soften rubber seals and gaskets. it DOES raise the octane of the gas, meaning cleaner combustion and better mpg
Acetone can and does attack O-rings and other neo rubber fittings, the biggest problem with acetone are the O-rings on your fuel injectors if so equipped. to test this get a 10cent o-ring and place it in a small amount of acetone, remove and set it on a secure place. in just a few hours of exposure it will make the oring swell and it will develop check marks then you will have an unmetered air condition that will tell your o2 sensors that you are running lean, your car will pump more fuel actually making your car run rich then your cat(s) will overheat and fail.....
+danekeeper1 It does not matter in the slightest what happens with pure acetone. I agree that it's not the greatest idea, but isn't going to do much of anything at all. This is complete and utter BS though. While acetone mixed at the mentioned ratio's with gasoline isn't going to damage your engine, it isn't going to give you better mileage, or any increase performance either. His numbers are straight up lies, and I am shamed that I contributed to this prick's income by viewing this garbage.
Some of you gentlemen might be confused about organic chemistry, concentrations are important at any level. Heat and turbulence also contribute to reactions in chemistry. CH3 is used as a reagent to dissolve plastics and epoxies and will change most O'ring structures at any concentration.
Yep, sure thing Kipkay, just remove the spare tire... What you spare in mileage, you will pay for fines. In most countries the spare tire is MANDATORY!
simtitan1 Oh yea, when they are in the mood to write you a ticket, they will check everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, the tow rope, the car-jack, and EVEN the fluorescent vest...
simtitan1 The main issue is the traffic law. Each country independently forms it's own, so it's advisable to research them for your country, and the immediate neighborhood. At least in Europe, as far as I can understand, the laws are flexible. If the car in question was manufactured before the new laws were made, those laws do not completely apply to them. The greatest example is the EURO HOOK. I do not know when the law was made for it, but the point is that cars manufactured before that law are allowed to keep their factory-setup hook on all the time, while newer cars have to dismantle the hook when not in use.
Nikola Silvers You realize there is a thing called consent to search right? Unless you've already broken a law, they won't know you don't have a spare unless you're the kind of moron that lets police search your car for no reason. Maybe if you knew your rights it wouldn't matter.
I hate to spoil your fun but this is BS.Any increase in mileage is most likely due to the cleaning effect of the added solvent. The air to fuel ratio is controlled by the ECM when you plug in a scanner you can see real time air fuel trim. With the scanner hooked up go for a drive taking notes on outside air temp and engine load and TPS. Do the same test with additives you will not see a difference that would make any cost savings or added fuel mileage. There's not such thing as a mechanic in a can. The internal combustion engine is fairly simple so are it's requirements and thinning the mix is better of left to racers and chemical engineers. If you have an older carbureted car Acetone will trash the foam floats or loosen accumulated varnish in the fuel lines thus plugging up the system. Anyhow there's no magic to better fuel mileage it all comes down to driver habits or loss nut behind the wheel. .
WARNING! This test is highly inaccurate. First always run your tires at the pressure recommended in your vehicle (normally inside the driver's front door or on the gas tank for, unless you are not running the recommended tire size then consult your tire dealership for the correct pressure). Second, NEVER use fix-a-flat (or anything similar) in a vehicle tire. It will destroy the tire and your TPMS sensor. Next, remember that once you switch to the higher prices synthetic motor oil you cannot go back. Last of all, acetone will destroy your fuel lines and gaskets, not to mention paint if you spill any on your vehicle. Oh, and all that starting and stopping will likely damage your starter and your battery. In order to accurately claim these are safe and effective much more testing should be done in a controlled environment. This is bad advice.
***** No. That's not bad advice. I worked in the tire industry for many years and have been certified by the 3 largest tire manufacturers in the US. Anytime you alter the pressure from the recommended levels you are potentially putting your life and the lives of those riding with you at risk. It's simple physics.
My tires rate at 44psi but I always put them and 35psi it gives you more traction on turns running them lower. The highest I'd ever go on max psi is 40psi bc I live in az and it bubble a tire quick putting them at the max psi of 44psi
Try removing all intake restrictions, inflate tires to 10% above the manufacturers pressure, clean the maf sensor, use better gas and synthetic oil, don't do burnouts or drag race at the intersection,
Shift to N while going down hills and at traffic lights, go to over drive and shift before 2, put helium in your tires, put 90% rubbing alcohol in your gas when its cold for easy warm ups. There is many things.
Steph Machado damn..you guys and galls should think yourselves lucky..here in west australia im paying 1.35 per LITRE..and at the moment its a cheep cycle..
mackat4ck Neither is the amount he used. If you have a flex fuel vehicle, it equipped to handle ethanol which has the similar affects to plastics as acetone. It's no different than filling up with mostly ethanol fuel. If you don't have a flex fuel or older vehicle then yes acetone will make the rubber fuel lines and fuel pump brittle and crack if used in too high of a concentration, as with anything in life it's all in moderation. Also on newer vehicles they are designed to adjust fuel, valve timing, and spark. Which you will not see that much of an effect, however older vehicles especially carburetors you can see a huge difference in decreasing the flash point of 87 octane, especially at lower rpms.
In the summer time I add 1 cup of distilled water to every gallon of gas to keep my fuel temps low. I also add about a pound of sugar to my oil because my truck has a sweet tooth.
Also, pulling out your spare tire? What sort of dumbass would do that? Your going to sissy that junk in your tire and screw up your wheels and have to pay to get it scraped out later. No savings.
My grandpa tried pure acetone on his 60 yo soviet moskwich, and after start-up the black as coal very stinky fumes started to rush from the exhaust pipe and after a few minutes smokes stopped coming out and black scales started to fly out from the exhaust pipe, After few minutes the sound in the engine normalized and became more silence than ever and almost no fumes were coming out from the exhaust pipe. After a test-run around the city, the car suddantly stopped, and we heard a loud bang and a lot of smoke from the front of the car. After repair it turned out that acetone forced all the black scales from the bad cheap gas in soviet times to build up into the air filter and into the exhaust pipe filters, thus preventing the fumes form coming out. After a thural cleaning of the exhaust pipes and the engine and the gas pipes, the engine worked so smoothly and so quietly, therefor showing the brilliant quality of the vintage car, when they weren't sawing material, that my grandpa was really amazed, and after using pure acetone with good quality gasoline, and after changing the sparkplugs, the oil and the bad damaged drive-chains and engine belts, the mileage increased from 26 kilometers per liter, to 58 kilometers per liter. If soviet 70 yo engine can handle it with no problem, your cars will handle it without any worries and complains. . .
Can you guys make up your minds?... I can't decide weather to use acetone or not with all this controversy!!!... Can someone please say the absolute truth once and for all so we can leave this behind our lives?!!!
Most of those are just maintenance things you should already know you need to keep a check on. Taking out your tire iron and spare is a pretty stupid idea even if you do have an assistance provider. Constantly stopping amd starting your car every time you stop for more than 30 seconds is a good way to put unneeded wear on your starter and will cause it to wear out faster.
I used "clean", clear urine, once (the kind that comes out transparent like water, instead of a "yellowish" color...) and my moped owned da copz !!... Then it exploded and I died.... Just came back to warn you all to not pee in your gas tanks!... :P
Totally depends on the type of car/ SUV, 17-20mpg in a 20year old, 2.5l 2wheel drive jeep with 240K miles is probably the best you can get with everything stock. Compression goes down from ring and valve wear, the thing still drives me to work and I brought it up from 15-16mpg. so Pbbbbbt. I do haul around some 'survival gear'. Tools, spare tire, jack, and other such weight by my choice. I suppose I could go into debt and pay the devil's usery for something newer but I can work on this one myself. you can actually see the plugs when you pop the hood.
Biggest thigs that affect mileage is tire pressure and excess weight in the car. Most cars no longer have plug wires and have 100k mile plugs so they're not as critical... One thing you should do after 100k miles is change your oxygen sensors. Did this in my F150 and instantly picked up 3 mpg.
Joey D Depends on how many cats you have. Your V8 probably has two, one on each bank and there is always an O2 sensor before the cat and after. Some V6s and V8s merge the two banks into one skinny little pipe and only use a single cat. This is usually done on FWD cars and really kills the power output.
It wouldn't surprise me if acetone does improve fuel economy, but I don't expect it'd do much on all cars. There are all sorts of fuels you can use that can improve or worsen fuel economy for either ICEs or diesels.
@@snookysnax Or gasoline for that matter. The thing is, that whole myth was disproved long ago. People have taken common fuel system components (seals, gaskets, fuel line, etc) and left them soaking in acetone/gasoline mixture for days, weeks, months, and a year time, with no significant negative results, and documented the results. I personally know of one gentleman that has been using the correct acetone/gasoline fuel ratio in his Mercedes for over 25 years now, and no negative effect on fuel system components, because they are precisely designed to be chemical resistant. Keep in mind that some of the most popular fuel system cleaners are 50% or greater acetone!
In the 1980's we dyno'ed plenty of engines. I designed OEM and aftermarket electronics. Spark plugs and wires won't change crap unless they are really bad. Any change, unless you have a dropped cylinder from misfiring, is immeasurable. Also, his acetone suggestion is total malarkey. The suggestion of using acetone and the rational behind it is absolute total rubbish. Do not do it.
Ambrosius Malachai Your statement demonstrates the danger of understanding part of what goes on, but not how that part affects the system. Your comment is typical of half-truths and factoids used to justify false claims in many areas. In this case, the fuel is already atomized adequately. Atomizing it more is meaningless, because atomization is not a limiting factor in efficiency. Articles or videos like this are based on false claims supported by half-truths, and mislead people into wasting money or damaging things.
MightyMouse1222 The problem with the grease monkey opinion here is that you're implying that someone drives something worth keeping in good shape. I personalize drive a shit mobile. It's to the point that I don't bother fixing anything because it isn't worth the cost. Past regular service the machine is garbage and not worth worrying about. From my stand point, long term effects is a moot point. For all i can my car could exploded in my works parking lot.
***** While your vehicle may be a heap of shit, some of us have vehicles that we'd like to keep around as long as possible. I'm quite attached to both of mine and am not looking to replace either of them until I absolutely have to. The main point here is why put all of this effort into fuel economy if you're going to have to buy a new car because half of the 'tips' here are going to destroy the vehicle, and don't really do much in the way of fuel economy - not enough to make a difference anyways.
***** The truth is adding acetone does NOT increase fuel mileage. Fuel efficiency would not be improved by increased atomization (if it happened) because lack of full atomization is not affecting VE. The claim is pure BS. Making it worse, acetone and other similar hydrocarbons are harmful to fuel system components and cost more per gallon than gasoline. Acetone is about $10-20 a gallon.
Nope, close to 100% of the fuel is burned. Usually around 30% of the energy from that combustion process is harnessed, the rest is lost as heat, not as unburnt fuel. Vaporizing the fuel could possibly increase efficiency by increasing the rate of flame travel in the fuel air charge, but the same effect could be achieved by making the intake charge more turbulent once it enters the cylinder.
I'm actually doing the acetone thing right now and I am noticing a significant difference. I already do a number of things to try to save gas and adding acetone really helped increase my gas savings. I plan on uploading a video of my experience and results from it soon.
+MrTwinkie797 we buy a lot more fuel in the us than sweden does, actually there are several cities that probably use more than sweden. We also produce more than most of the world so it a little cheaper here, the fuel is half the cost of gasoline in the US, the other half pays for our Interstate system and those lovely 55mph zones on highways that are federally mandated.
I refuse to believe the acetone part. Even if it boosts gas mileage, acetone ain't cheap, it can damage fuel injectors and catalytic converters. Costing more in the long run
I put some acetone in my Previa gas tank, it destroyed the filter sock on the fuel pump, it turned it into a solid sheet of plastic and no fuel would go thru it. Had to install a new fuel pump!
Yes that is a good idea, but I still need the power of my gas truck to get work done, and I don't have any idea about them :( soooo nah :) oh and typo its on ly 21-22 mpg sry all :)
It depends on the vehicle. It could be the case, like you say, for newer cars, but if you drive an older car that may not be the case. Newer cars with automatic transmissions "learn" the way you drive. On older cars without that learning feature of the PCM, regarding transmission shifts, if you push the accelerator further your shifts will be delayed, because your computer thinks you need more power. And, the longer you are in lower gears - the worse the fuel economy.
As a car guy, done many mods, I can see you're not a car guy, but had your genius approach on this matter. The mods you mentioned were easy to do, plug and play. However, we car guys sacrifice mileage for performance. One of the ways is to increase the efficiency. You can have better mileage by knowing your engine characteristics and the transmission attached to it. I strongly disagree with the acetone thing. We may mess with contents of our gas tank for a drag race or a weekend or to baby sit an engine. But we may oversee the harmful by-products of these chemicals can cost.
i see a lot of people here are saying that acetone would destroy yout seals in the engine. No it wont because gasoline is a VERY harsh chemical and it doesn't destroy anything in the engine 😂😃😆
What you forget to mention is that Acetone is polar, thus attracts water from the air whenever it is exposed to it. Each time you pour it, or even when that bottle isn't sealed 100% airtight, a small part of the acetone gets polluted with water. That water starts building up inside your gas-tank below the gasoline (gasoline floats ontop of water) and after a few times when your gas is running low, your engine will be sucking up an increasingly higher dose of water.
baddoggie101 Not really. It doesn't bind to the water, it just likes to have it around. More and more water will build up inside your tank and after a year or two when you have to use your last gallon of 'fuel' to reach the gasstation you'll stop dead in track because your petrol engine does not run quite well on water. Not even starting on how well even the slightest amount of water helps corroding any part it comes across.
Thats why youre supposed to put in the acetone in a full tank of gas that doesnt have any air or moisture in the gas tank.Dont put acetone in when it is half full of gas
This acetone mix should work well ONLY in "flex fuel" vehicles that have the nylon fuel line fittings in place of the rubber seals. It would do any engine some good about once every 3 months though, to remove deposits.
I agree the gas companies "don't want you to know" how to improve mileage... but what would motivate a car manufacturer to want their cars to be perceived as gas guzzlers? A reputation for fuel efficiency, substantiated or not, would help sales.
The best way to get better mileage is to get pure gasoline without ethanol in it. Some stations around the nation, including boat docks, often have pure gasoline. Your mileage will increase about 15 to 20% because ethanol is crap as far as BTU's go. I tried acetone and found that it did nothing except cost me more money for the acetone which is not cheap. The claims of better mileage here on this video is questionable as a scientific method of doing the same thing with non acetone and with would show the true results. Highway driving at speeds under 60 mph also increase mileage.
+Steve smith Its almost impossible to find a gas station that offers pure gasoline. I tried finding one for my bikes because i don't ride them daily and didn't want the ethanol to gunk up my engine but its only sold in specialty shops now and is a lot more expensive.
You do know that acetone dissolves rubber components right? So pretty much all your fuel hoses, fuel tank liner, your injector seals, you know all those things that probably cost a lot more than the amount of money you would save putting acetone in your gas tank.
Ok, outside of the acetone, the rest was common sense, and many of those things are recommended in manuals. Now my question is- is the acetone going to be ok for your car's system? Also- I've be using "Sea Foam" for a few years now. It can be pricey, but gives almost the same boost as the acetone did for KipKay
Great video kipkay! Thank you for all the valuable tips. And for all those critics who will complain about the damage acetone can do to paint, spilling gasoline will also, over time discolor and even make paint bubble and peel. Try being careful. Use a funnel and do it with a full tank of gas in an area where you are protected from wind. Have a rag or paper towel ready to cover the bottom of the funnel as you remove it. Simply being careful is easy to do.

Save a few bucks on fuel....which you can then spend on your new engine....which costs about 500yrs worth of fuel savings.

Acetone doesn't increase your mileage. Snopes and NPR's Car Talk agree that while it does nothing to increase mileage, it can cause significant damage to your rubber engine components. Don't use it.
Kipkay, do better research next time.
yes, very true. I'm glad to see someone makes sense of this crap.
lol snopes lololol
Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that pure acetone will actually destroy a car engine?
Dirk Diggler because it can, it eats at plastic and rubber parts like o-rings in your injectors and even the rubber hosing
piffman 95 Thanks for the confirmation. I knew I had to be onto something.
He said "Acetone aids in the vapourisation of gasoline, increasing fuel efficiency, *engine longevity* and performance" at 1:28. How bad can it be?
MrSupercar55 Yes, I know what he said. I still can't help suspecting that he doesn't really know what he's talking about. If the stuff is that great, why doesn't everybody use it in their car?
Dirk Diggler It "aids in the vapourisation". As a nerd, I am enjoying this. Gasoline (we call it petrol here in England btw) gives off vapours. The vapours are flammable, not the liquid itself. Spark plugs at the top of an engine's cylinders ignite the vapours. Gasoline is given an octane rating, which is the percentage of octane present in the fuel. Regular "unleaded" has an octane rating of 95, while premium has an octane rating of 97-98. Putting acetone in the fuel will only have the same effect as using 97/98 RON.
"Double your gas milage! 2x and take 5 years off the life of your car" Title fixed.
Acetone eats up your rubber components in your fuel lines
Everything was okay until he suggested the use of Acetone in your gas. This myth was busted on Mythbusters. Complete BS
A lot of Kipkay's suggestions are BS.
Glad I found ur posting 7hanxx.
Want to improve gas mileage? Buy a manual, less to go wrong and the mileage is easily an extra 2-3 miles.
That whole idea about Acetone in the tank is a bad idea.Instead, go to your local car shop and buy 'injector cleaner.'
Brands like Lucas have been around forever and they are designed to unclog fuel injectors, valves, and they add octane to the fuel.
Replacing a fuel filter is also rather cheap and easy to install.

My man I wish, I wouldn't give two shits about the price of gas if I was paid by people to advertise a product on youtube.
Not true, Acetone is pretty good stuff. been using it for years on several cars and they work like a charm, been enjoying the extra 4-5 mpgs. Plus it's cheaper than those "injector cleaners/ fuel enhancers". A quart of acetone will be sufficient for 14 fill-ups on a medium car or more.

It also adds water to the tank which can destroy a car.

Manual's have always had the advantage over automatics when it comes to gas mileage. There can be a difference from 2mpg - 7mpg with the same car model. Don't know about you but that adds up quiet a bit over time in my opinion.
Gas today contains ethanol which is a cleaning agent, but low quality gas can still build up deposits over time.
Injector cleaner isn't going to "boost performance" or "tune up" your car, but it can stabilize, and help reduce knocks and pings in your engine.
Good to see your a certified mechanic, congrats!
gas prices are cheep in the video kipkay... were double that now
this video is nearly 6 years old dude.

what're you yappin about?
Why would car manufacturers care how much gas you use? They don't make money on the gas you buy.
+Walrus I must agree on that
They could if they made a deal with oil companies
Because of the massive sex scandals surrounding UFO piracy. Duh.
Commonplace for people who purchase a car at a dealership to trade in their car to the same dealership for a different model if there is something they don't like about it. Just sales tactics
ahhhhhhh. you need gas for cars to run sooooo these multi billion dollar oil companies pay the car manufacturers off a bit... is my guess
I took out my engine and now i get 0mpg
I got more mpg when i sold all my organs. The doctor said they were excess weight!
An even better way to increase gas mileage is to use diesel fuel. After a tank you'll be pushing your car and getting more miles per gallon.
That's because there's more energy in a gallon of diesel fuel than in a gallon of gas. The US government changed the pricing structure for fuel so you were paying for the amount of energy per gallon. Remember when diesel was less expensive than gas?
I found another way to increase gas millage is to only drive downhill. The gas millage is fantastic.
Thanks for confirming it will increase the gas mileage.

Thank you
Spare tire will help save you in a rear end collision. Designed as part of the safety structure.
easiest simplest things that work without any side-effects on ur vehicle:
1.choose low rolling resistance tires (when buying tires)
2.pump them up higher then suggested psi, even 4 psi more helps a lot (also makes the car feel more responsive)
3.drive at speed limit or just above it, not speeding.
4.accelerate in a way that you can feel your car is shifting gears quickly and not revving the rpms.
5.idle your car for a short while, basically you can drive it as soon as you feel the rpms reducing. Dont put it in gear when rpms are high, it is an indication that the oil has not circulated throughout the engine.
6.remove unnecessary junk from ur trunk.
7.if in dry conditions, drive behind other large vehicles (at a safe distance).

my experience with acetone has been great, in a 1969GMC with a 305 and 2 brl carburetor. but you need to be careful with it in newer cars. it can soften rubber seals and gaskets. it DOES raise the octane of the gas, meaning cleaner combustion and better mpg
Acetone can and does attack O-rings and other neo rubber fittings, the biggest problem with acetone are the O-rings on your fuel injectors if so equipped. to test this get a 10cent o-ring and place it in a small amount of acetone, remove and set it on a secure place. in just a few hours of exposure it will make the oring swell and it will develop check marks then you will have an unmetered air condition that will tell your o2 sensors that you are running lean, your car will pump more fuel actually making your car run rich then your cat(s) will overheat and fail.....
+danekeeper1 Many people are making the point that the amount he said to put in should cause no damage at all.
+danekeeper1 who talks here about pure acetone fueling? Put ratio which is advised and then test your comment :)
Tomas Av. You might want to try that again but not drunk. XD
+danekeeper1
It does not matter in the slightest what happens with pure acetone. I agree that it's not the greatest idea, but isn't going to do much of anything at all. This is complete and utter BS though. While acetone mixed at the mentioned ratio's with gasoline isn't going to damage your engine, it isn't going to give you better mileage, or any increase performance either. His numbers are straight up lies, and I am shamed that I contributed to this prick's income by viewing this garbage.
Some of you gentlemen might be confused about organic chemistry, concentrations are important at any level. Heat and turbulence also contribute to reactions in chemistry. CH3 is used as a reagent to dissolve plastics and epoxies and will change most O'ring structures at any concentration.
How did I get here? I own a 2013 Hummer.
Yep, sure thing Kipkay, just remove the spare tire... What you spare in mileage, you will pay for fines. In most countries the spare tire is MANDATORY!
Like any police officer will go through your trunk looking for the spare.
simtitan1 Oh yea, when they are in the mood to write you a ticket, they will check everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, the tow rope, the car-jack, and EVEN the fluorescent vest...
Why is it that new cars don't come with spares then? I don't drive yet so I really think I need to learn, as i'm getting my permit next year.
simtitan1 The main issue is the traffic law. Each country independently forms it's own, so it's advisable to research them for your country, and the immediate neighborhood.
At least in Europe, as far as I can understand, the laws are flexible. If the car in question was manufactured before the new laws were made, those laws do not completely apply to them. The greatest example is the EURO HOOK. I do not know when the law was made for it, but the point is that cars manufactured before that law are allowed to keep their factory-setup hook on all the time, while newer cars have to dismantle the hook when not in use.
Nikola Silvers You realize there is a thing called consent to search right? Unless you've already broken a law, they won't know you don't have a spare unless you're the kind of moron that lets police search your car for no reason. Maybe if you knew your rights it wouldn't matter.
Imagine what he thinks of the pricing now 💯🙃
I hate to spoil your fun but this is BS.Any increase in mileage is most likely due to the cleaning effect of the added solvent. The air to fuel ratio is controlled by the ECM when you plug in a scanner you can see real time air fuel trim. With the scanner hooked up go for a drive taking notes on outside air temp and engine load and TPS.
Do the same test with additives you will not see a difference that would make any cost savings or added fuel mileage.
There's not such thing as a mechanic in a can. The internal combustion engine is fairly simple so are it's requirements and thinning the mix is better of left to racers and chemical engineers.
If you have an older carbureted car Acetone will trash the foam floats or loosen accumulated varnish in the fuel lines thus plugging up the system.
Anyhow there's no magic to better fuel mileage it all comes down to driver habits or loss nut behind the wheel. .
No spare= foolish and selfish to make someone come and "Save" you, Oh and starters do have a life expectancy.
And here's a trick to QUADRUPLE you're gas mileage. ................. TAKE THE BUS.........
what thats the lowest form of energy if a comment.
😂🤣😂😂🤣😂
Highly considering this. Not because of gas mileage but I just hate driving among idiots.
"gas prices have gone through the roof"
Oh you sweet summer child
Lol
They sure have!
WARNING! This test is highly inaccurate. First always run your tires at the pressure recommended in your vehicle (normally inside the driver's front door or on the gas tank for, unless you are not running the recommended tire size then consult your tire dealership for the correct pressure). Second, NEVER use fix-a-flat (or anything similar) in a vehicle tire. It will destroy the tire and your TPMS sensor. Next, remember that once you switch to the higher prices synthetic motor oil you cannot go back. Last of all, acetone will destroy your fuel lines and gaskets, not to mention paint if you spill any on your vehicle. Oh, and all that starting and stopping will likely damage your starter and your battery. In order to accurately claim these are safe and effective much more testing should be done in a controlled environment. This is bad advice.
***** No. That's not bad advice. I worked in the tire industry for many years and have been certified by the 3 largest tire manufacturers in the US. Anytime you alter the pressure from the recommended levels you are potentially putting your life and the lives of those riding with you at risk. It's simple physics.
I hope you know you can switch from synthetic to regular oil any time you want. Once you go to synthetic you can switch back.
He's in an institution .
Your car doesn't get addicted to synthetic they use 50/00 .
I checked with my mechanic and he laughed.
My tires rate at 44psi but I always put them and 35psi it gives you more traction on turns running them lower. The highest I'd ever go on max psi is 40psi bc I live in az and it bubble a tire quick putting them at the max psi of 44psi
Just kidding , that's funny...I think..

Try removing all intake restrictions, inflate tires to 10% above the manufacturers pressure, clean the maf sensor, use better gas and synthetic oil, don't do burnouts or drag race at the intersection,

Yeah, but it's probably not enough to eat through the seals and destroy the fuel system. Also, you're not supposed to use it every day.
mackat4ck Neither is the amount he used. If you have a flex fuel vehicle, it equipped to handle ethanol which has the similar affects to plastics as acetone. It's no different than filling up with mostly ethanol fuel. If you don't have a flex fuel or older vehicle then yes acetone will make the rubber fuel lines and fuel pump brittle and crack if used in too high of a concentration, as with anything in life it's all in moderation. Also on newer vehicles they are designed to adjust fuel, valve timing, and spark. Which you will not see that much of an effect, however older vehicles especially carburetors you can see a huge difference in decreasing the flash point of 87 octane, especially at lower rpms.
In the summer time I add 1 cup of distilled water to every gallon of gas to keep my fuel temps low. I also add about a pound of sugar to my oil because my truck has a sweet tooth.

Also, pulling out your spare tire? What sort of dumbass would do that? Your going to sissy that junk in your tire and screw up your wheels and have to pay to get it scraped out later. No savings.
That cell phone is more ancient than this video. My dad had one of those Motorola phones when I was a kid.
My grandpa tried pure acetone on his 60 yo soviet moskwich, and after start-up the black as coal very stinky fumes started to rush from the exhaust pipe and after a few minutes smokes stopped coming out and black scales started to fly out from the exhaust pipe, After few minutes the sound in the engine normalized and became more silence than ever and almost no fumes were coming out from the exhaust pipe. After a test-run around the city, the car suddantly stopped, and we heard a loud bang and a lot of smoke from the front of the car. After repair it turned out that acetone forced all the black scales from the bad cheap gas in soviet times to build up into the air filter and into the exhaust pipe filters, thus preventing the fumes form coming out. After a thural cleaning of the exhaust pipes and the engine and the gas pipes, the engine worked so smoothly and so quietly, therefor showing the brilliant quality of the vintage car, when they weren't sawing material, that my grandpa was really amazed, and after using pure acetone with good quality gasoline, and after changing the sparkplugs, the oil and the bad damaged drive-chains and engine belts, the mileage increased from 26 kilometers per liter, to 58 kilometers per liter. If soviet 70 yo engine can handle it with no problem, your cars will handle it without any worries and complains. . .
Can you guys make up your minds?... I can't decide weather to use acetone or not with all this controversy!!!... Can someone please say the absolute truth once and for all so we can leave this behind our lives?!!!
Dont try acetone. My car blew up
I don't want to blow up my car!!!... I WILL DO IT!!!... I WILL ADD SOME ACETONE TO MY CAR BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO BLOW UP!!!! HEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!
Juan Cabeza Alright no joke here, Acetone WILL NOT ruin your car in small ammounts even for years and years and years of use. GUARANTEED.
Panth Mantheon
Hmmm... I'll do it!!!...
Juan Cabeza Let me know what happens. I want to try it in my FIAT 500.
Most of those are just maintenance things you should already know you need to keep a check on. Taking out your tire iron and spare is a pretty stupid idea even if you do have an assistance provider. Constantly stopping amd starting your car every time you stop for more than 30 seconds is a good way to put unneeded wear on your starter and will cause it to wear out faster.
you can burn hydrogen peroxide too!!
I used "clean", clear urine, once (the kind that comes out transparent like water, instead of a "yellowish" color...) and my moped owned da copz !!... Then it exploded and I died.... Just came back to warn you all to not pee in your gas tanks!... :P
Thanks for the warning.. But you are too later I'm already dead.. I regret scrolling past this comment 3 minutes ago.

20MPG is VERY low in the first place. Either get a better car or fix whatever is wrong with it causing the low mileage in the first place.
I get 8...
spike123411 my dads truck gets 5 -_-
My tank gets 1 1/2
Epic
Totally depends on the type of car/ SUV, 17-20mpg in a 20year old, 2.5l 2wheel drive jeep with 240K miles is probably the best you can get with everything stock. Compression goes down from ring and valve wear, the thing still drives me to work and I brought it up from 15-16mpg. so Pbbbbbt. I do haul around some 'survival gear'. Tools, spare tire, jack, and other such weight by my choice. I suppose I could go into debt and pay the devil's usery for something newer but I can work on this one myself. you can actually see the plugs when you pop the hood.
Biggest thigs that affect mileage is tire pressure and excess weight in the car. Most cars no longer have plug wires and have 100k mile plugs so they're not as critical... One thing you should do after 100k miles is change your oxygen sensors. Did this in my F150 and instantly picked up 3 mpg.
***** Very true.
costly to change all of them, i have 4 on my t-bird, as do all mod v-8s...I wonder how many are on the new generation of fords....
I cut out my floor boards and removed my shoes. Now me and Barn drive for free!
WIIIIILMAAAAAA!!!
If you need new oxygen sensors, will this show up as a trouble code?
Joey D Depends on how many cats you have. Your V8 probably has two, one on each bank and there is always an O2 sensor before the cat and after. Some V6s and V8s merge the two banks into one skinny little pipe and only use a single cat. This is usually done on FWD cars and really kills the power output.
I put 1 up of lemon juice and 2 oz of olive oil to a 13 gallon tank and tripled my gas mileage. Works every time.
ouch
It wouldn't surprise me if acetone does improve fuel economy, but I don't expect it'd do much on all cars. There are all sorts of fuels you can use that can improve or worsen fuel economy for either ICEs or diesels.
Give it a few months. Guaranteed you'll have some damaged fuel injectors and pumps.

Acetone and Rubber Fuel Lines. Hmm, good mix!
toppledgod my thinking exactly.
more harmful than ethanol?
@@snookysnax Or gasoline for that matter. The thing is, that whole myth was disproved long ago. People have taken common fuel system components (seals, gaskets, fuel line, etc) and left them soaking in acetone/gasoline mixture for days, weeks, months, and a year time, with no significant negative results, and documented the results. I personally know of one gentleman that has been using the correct acetone/gasoline fuel ratio in his Mercedes for over 25 years now, and no negative effect on fuel system components, because they are precisely designed to be chemical resistant. Keep in mind that some of the most popular fuel system cleaners are 50% or greater acetone!
Hey Guys, So we’re back to this point in life
In the 1980's we dyno'ed plenty of engines. I designed OEM and aftermarket electronics. Spark plugs and wires won't change crap unless they are really bad. Any change, unless you have a dropped cylinder from misfiring, is immeasurable. Also, his acetone suggestion is total malarkey. The suggestion of using acetone and the rational behind it is absolute total rubbish. Do not do it.
Ambrosius Malachai
Your statement demonstrates the danger of understanding part of what goes on, but not how that part affects the system. Your comment is typical of half-truths and factoids used to justify false claims in many areas. In this case, the fuel is already atomized adequately. Atomizing it more is meaningless, because atomization is not a limiting factor in efficiency. Articles or videos like this are based on false claims supported by half-truths, and mislead people into wasting money or damaging things.
MightyMouse1222 The problem with the grease monkey opinion here is that you're implying that someone drives something worth keeping in good shape. I personalize drive a shit mobile. It's to the point that I don't bother fixing anything because it isn't worth the cost. Past regular service the machine is garbage and not worth worrying about. From my stand point, long term effects is a moot point. For all i can my car could exploded in my works parking lot.
*****
While your vehicle may be a heap of shit, some of us have vehicles that we'd like to keep around as long as possible. I'm quite attached to both of mine and am not looking to replace either of them until I absolutely have to.
The main point here is why put all of this effort into fuel economy if you're going to have to buy a new car because half of the 'tips' here are going to destroy the vehicle, and don't really do much in the way of fuel economy - not enough to make a difference anyways.
*****
The truth is adding acetone does NOT increase fuel mileage. Fuel efficiency would not be improved by increased atomization (if it happened) because lack of full atomization is not affecting VE. The claim is pure BS.
Making it worse, acetone and other similar hydrocarbons are harmful to fuel system components and cost more per gallon than gasoline. Acetone is about $10-20 a gallon.
why are we running on gas when we should be running on gas fumes 70% of the gas we put in our tank goes out the tailpipe! Something is wrong!
Nope, close to 100% of the fuel is burned. Usually around 30% of the energy from that combustion process is harnessed, the rest is lost as heat, not as unburnt fuel. Vaporizing the fuel could possibly increase efficiency by increasing the rate of flame travel in the fuel air charge, but the same effect could be achieved by making the intake charge more turbulent once it enters the cylinder.
You CAN in fact use ACETONE in your fuel, Just remember to scream ALAH AKBAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR before you start your engine!
Lol

I'm actually doing the acetone thing right now and I am noticing a significant difference. I already do a number of things to try to save gas and adding acetone really helped increase my gas savings. I plan on uploading a video of my experience and results from it soon.

"Acetone won't work" Myth Busters

No. If anything it will onky burn faster than pure gasoline.
right now gas for my city is 1.95 per gal lol :)
+c urias In Sweden I pay 12,52 kr per liter. So that is 1,43 $ per liter. And the total is 5,4$ per gallon. Please guys. Stop complaining!
+MrTwinkie797 we buy a lot more fuel in the us than sweden does, actually there are several cities that probably use more than sweden. We also produce more than most of the world so it a little cheaper here, the fuel is half the cost of gasoline in the US, the other half pays for our Interstate system and those lovely 55mph zones on highways that are federally mandated.
I refuse to believe the acetone part. Even if it boosts gas mileage, acetone ain't cheap, it can damage fuel injectors and catalytic converters. Costing more in the long run
I mix 2 oz. acetone with 4 oz. Marvel Mystery Oil! added 4 extra mpg to my Buick Rendezvous. Don't believe the engine damage scare!
I put some acetone in my Previa gas tank, it destroyed the filter sock on the fuel pump, it turned it into a solid sheet of plastic and no fuel would go thru it. Had to install a new fuel pump!
I have Citroen Xsara Break 2.0HDI 150HP (Combi) and I get 37 MPG w/o any mods [Buy a diesel car guys!]

Karli suur kanal Haha what? It's the other way around mate...
Simone PleTon because farmers need it
Better Idea is to buy an all electric car like the Tesla. No gasoline required!
Yes that is a good idea, but I still need the power of my gas truck to get work done, and I don't have any idea about them :( soooo nah :) oh and typo its on ly 21-22 mpg sry all :)
It depends on the vehicle. It could be the case, like you say, for newer cars, but if you drive an older car that may not be the case. Newer cars with automatic transmissions "learn" the way you drive. On older cars without that learning feature of the PCM, regarding transmission shifts, if you push the accelerator further your shifts will be delayed, because your computer thinks you need more power. And, the longer you are in lower gears - the worse the fuel economy.
As a car guy, done many mods, I can see you're not a car guy, but had your genius approach on this matter.
The mods you mentioned were easy to do, plug and play. However, we car guys sacrifice mileage for performance. One of the ways is to increase the efficiency. You can have better mileage by knowing your engine characteristics and the transmission attached to it.
I strongly disagree with the acetone thing. We may mess with contents of our gas tank for a drag race or a weekend or to baby sit an engine. But we may oversee the harmful by-products of these chemicals can cost.
hahaha this video is classic, put acetone in your car and see if youre still driving it after a month

tell them it eats fuel lines!
i see a lot of people here are saying that acetone would destroy yout seals in the engine. No it wont because gasoline is a VERY harsh chemical and it doesn't destroy anything in the engine 😂😃😆
0:27. That’s why gas prices have increased
What you forget to mention is that Acetone is polar, thus attracts water from the air whenever it is exposed to it. Each time you pour it, or even when that bottle isn't sealed 100% airtight, a small part of the acetone gets polluted with water. That water starts building up inside your gas-tank below the gasoline (gasoline floats ontop of water) and after a few times when your gas is running low, your engine will be sucking up an increasingly higher dose of water.
More likely it will remove the water from the tank as it is burned with the fuel.
baddoggie101 Not really. It doesn't bind to the water, it just likes to have it around. More and more water will build up inside your tank and after a year or two when you have to use your last gallon of 'fuel' to reach the gasstation you'll stop dead in track because your petrol engine does not run quite well on water. Not even starting on how well even the slightest amount of water helps corroding any part it comes across.
Thats why youre supposed to put in the acetone in a full tank of gas that doesnt have any air or moisture in the gas tank.Dont put acetone in when it is half full of gas
This acetone mix should work well ONLY in "flex fuel" vehicles that have the nylon fuel line fittings in place of the rubber seals. It would do any engine some good about once every 3 months though, to remove deposits.
Acetone is not ideal. Acetone can eat away at hoses and gaskets in your fuel system.
I agree the gas companies "don't want you to know" how to improve mileage... but what would motivate a car manufacturer to want their cars to be perceived as gas guzzlers? A reputation for fuel efficiency, substantiated or not, would help sales.
Do you add the acetone on a full, empty or half-full tank? Also, how often should you pour the acetone in the fuel tank?
Gas prices now tho
where do u get pure acetone & how do u know it's pure? i've also heard u have to b careful cuz acetone could eat away some of the seals.
Like if you're watching this video in 2015 and it's this cheap again or cheaper.
The best way to get better mileage is to get pure gasoline without ethanol in it. Some stations around the nation, including boat docks, often have pure gasoline. Your mileage will increase about 15 to 20% because ethanol is crap as far as BTU's go.
I tried acetone and found that it did nothing except cost me more money for the acetone which is not cheap.
The claims of better mileage here on this video is questionable as a scientific method of doing the same thing with non acetone and with would show the true results. Highway driving at speeds under 60 mph also increase mileage.
+Steve smith Its almost impossible to find a gas station that offers pure gasoline. I tried finding one for my bikes because i don't ride them daily and didn't want the ethanol to gunk up my engine but its only sold in specialty shops now and is a lot more expensive.
Update: Gas is now $1.79 where I live due to the Coronavirus.
You do know that acetone dissolves rubber components right? So pretty much all your fuel hoses, fuel tank liner, your injector seals, you know all those things that probably cost a lot more than the amount of money you would save putting acetone in your gas tank.
The concentration is a quarter cup in like 15 gallsons of gas
I wish it was 2.83 a gallon
Ok, outside of the acetone, the rest was common sense, and many of those things are recommended in manuals.
Now my question is- is the acetone going to be ok for your car's system?
Also- I've be using "Sea Foam" for a few years now. It can be pricey, but gives almost the same boost as the acetone did for KipKay
Great video kipkay!
Thank you for all the valuable tips.
And for all those critics who will complain about the damage acetone can do to paint, spilling gasoline will also, over time discolor and even make paint bubble and peel. Try being careful. Use a funnel and do it with a full tank of gas in an area where you are protected from wind. Have a rag or paper towel ready to cover the bottom of the funnel as you remove it. Simply being careful is easy to do.
Gas is back to being this price again in 2021.
