Acetone in fuel?

This may be an old subject, but this is a pretty interesting website.

I didn't read the link but acetone is a plastizer meaning it will melt plastic. Your fuel tank, fuel lines, filter casings, etc can suffer damage from its use. As a fuel additive, it will do nothing in regards to makeing more HP from it 150 octane rating. The benefit is from its oxidation rate. It would act like an atomization booster and the fuel would burn better and cleaner. But the benefits don't outweigh the damage it can do.
