Don't cry to me if it eats your carb rubber parts.

Tomor uses it in his bike (pointy) and says he gets more MPG. I don't think its going to have a major effect, or a big company would have come up with a product . . . .

Thats a stupid thing to do, it melts rubber, same as paint thinners who ever told you that is a fool!

acetone is used for thinning epoxy resins

"3. Caution: Acetone will dissolve most plastics, resins1 and rubber."

"Anyone who knows anything at all about what acetone can do would surely realize that if it can loosen dried solvent based paint (finger nail polish) or disolve oil stains on cement would easily figure out that it could eat away at fuel injector seals, fuel rail pressure regulator diaphragms, and possibly the strainer assembly on the fuel pump (plastic).

Old wives tail, it don't work, and it will mess up your fuel system.
Stop using acetone in your cars.

using it in a tank won't make a difference. You'll ned to use it in repeated tanks one after another to see any benefit/affects it *might* have (good or bad)
