Acetone in Diesel (More MPG, Less Smoke)

[j4mie]

Trying it this week, 10% Fuel saving? We will see!

Do a search on Google, is a common trick in the states.

you've just become my best friend

[dieselboy]

let us all know how you get on.
does acetone react with anything other than fuel? will it increase the chances of bore wash?

More MPG, Less Smoke- wrecked seals........

[huff_diggler]

i've been looking at acetone for a while, it does burn, but it can give off acrid black smoke, i suppose if you follow the mixing technique should be ok, i have theorys about shell v-diesil, acetone and what the secret ingredient is, that burns clean, gets better mpg and power delivery is spot on.

infact i would say that using v-diesil the power is up 10% and reckon around 10% better mpg...

you thinking what i'm thinking

i doubt it, im not too quick today. feel like dougal maguire...
are you saying shell put this stuff in their fuel?

[plumb bob]

I would have thought acetone might possibly cause the seals in the inj. pump to shrink, therefore causing leaks, I maybe wrong, but I'm sure there'll be a chemist on here to correct me.

Acetone reacts with some plastics like petrol & diesel does !

Acetone is an ingredient of many fuel injector cleaners !

I added it to my fuel at 10ml per 10Ltrs of Diesel

Reports on the web of American truck drivers doing 100,000+ Miles with no problems.


So I will give it a try

It's a common degreasing agent isn't it?

Simplisticly, wouldn't this mean 'bye bye lubrication'?

The day someone proves that acetone makes a difference without f*cking something up to boot, I'll stick with the 'no thankyou' approach. And upto just, apart from, 'oh yeah, it makes a difference', that's the most proof anyone has offer.

Bit like the bollox.. oh, sorry, bobbox then eh?

Very much so. Like the K&N's as well.

Proper mods

Very much so. Like the K&N's as well.

Some time back I did a study of the 'go faster' power mods on the market and came up with the following. It's all scientific, and has been peer reviewed.

Working on cost / power ratio, the following list describes some things that work.

1) Kenwood sticker = 10bhp plus. Obviously, bigger stickers release more power.

2) Blue neon washer jets = 5.7bhp

3) Sparco, Pirelli, Brembo, Magnex stickers down the edge of the front doors = 18bhp. A huge power gain, but works best with (2)

4) 10" exit exhaust backbox = 4bhp. Only really develops useful power when it's scr@ping along the road surface so not great.

5) 2" ground clearance = 28bhp. Works by making use of ground effect as per the Russian 'Ekranoplan' projects. They weren't built as efficient fleet attack aircraft, it was just a cover for one of their boy-racer projects.

6) Underbody neons = 8bhp, except when pink which then releases only 1bhp and causes the 10" backbox to make a noise that sounds like 'gaytw@tgaytw@tgaytw@t'. Should NOT be combined with mod number (5)

7) 'Playboy' sticker = 33bhp if you're a fit bird, but has similar effects to mod number (6) if you're a bloke. There would be a tendency for in this case for the owner to upgrade to a 3rd gen Surf.

8) Pretend 'race harness' pads = 3bhp. You'll need more power than this if you dont want people to laugh at your velcro Willans replica. Can usefully be combined with (5)

9) Aluminium boot spoiler = 150bhp. A fantastic mod! Releases HOOOGE power, especially when combined with (5). Make sure you use the self tappers in the kit though, the double sided sticky tape wont cut it at 188mph now acheivable!

10) Massive 'dragon' sticker right down the side = only really works with japanese cars. We did try this mod on a Nova but it had no effect other than making passers by laugh, though oddly, all of the mods we tried had that effect.

The mods above may be *carefully* combined, and in the situation where you are lucky enough to be able to perform all of the above mods, you will have released around 600bhp extra from your Fiesta 1 litre so you'll now be able to go supercar hunting on level terms!

If anyone is interested in persuing these mods, I can provide parts if you send used notes to a PO box in Worcester. Number provided by return...

Got any of those black plastic rear window louvres? Ooh,ooh, have you got any adjustable front splitters?
