using acetone to increase mileage
I did 1.75 oz of acetone per 10 gallons a week ago. The truck runs better, more power, less smoke and went from 16mpg to 19mpg. I will say the plastic cup I used to poor it in started melting so I started to get concerned so before I put more acetone in after this last fillup I want to know if there are any concerns I need to look for. Also is it okay to use all the time or should I vary it.
Let me know
thanks
