No...Yes

It will help your fuel mileage. As the truck is riding on a wrecker due to the fuel lines and injector seals being corroded out, immediately preceeded by your O2 sensors burning up--You are consuming no fuel while traveling considerable miles. In this case you are getting phenomenal fuel mileage, although I can't tell you what the wrecker efficiency is at that point.

I think those flatbad wreckers get about 4mpg http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Here's (http://www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone/) an interesting article on acetone. I didn't read the whole thing but they seem to have some decent data. If you try this do post back after a couple years and let us know how things are going http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif. It looks like the key is not to overdo it.

here's an idea for you guys worried about mpg... Don't buy an H2!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif go buy a VW bug and you'll have your 19-20 mpg with no acetone. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

What?!

[Mr. I - Man]

Am I wrong??? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

That linked article said that acetone breaks down plastic and it looks like our gas tanks are plastic from underneath??

Acetone can be stored in lots of different types of plastic containers without harming them.

But personally speaking, no amount of people saying "it works" will get me to pour acetone into my gas tank. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>it works http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
