[Keelynet] mothballs & acetone in the car

[Phillip Mark]

Hello.  Acetone will affect rubber gaskets and seals... if you use too much. 
 I only use 1oz per 10 gallons.  Just a drop in the bucket.  Remember, the 
acetone is not used as a fuel but as a surface tension release to the 
gasoline.  Everything I've read about mothballs in all the searches online 
that I've performed do state that they increase MPG.  I'm happy with 4 balls 
to a gallon.  That's 1 ball per quart, which doesn't seem excessive.  I used 
some of my mothball gasoline with the 4 balls to 1 gallon mixture in my lawn 
mower and dang!  I did the entire lawn and then some.  Usually my mower will 
only do 3/4 of my yard before going dry.  The important thing here is 
experimentation and results.  Just like you, I've increased mileage and 
performance dramatically!  My old Edsel 6 cylinder purrs like a kitten and 
has lots of pep with my additives.  I've yet to use toulene but I believe 
the results would be the same.  Reduced surface tension makes for easier 
vaporization in the carb/intake manifold.  My next big experiment is placing 
a piece of wire (not plastic) window screen between the carb and intake 
manifold.  From what I've read, the gasoline, in passing through the wire 
screen mesh, will break up into smaller droplets than what I'm getting now 
without the screen.  My only concern is that the screen may reduce airflow a 
bit.  Once installed, I'll do a 1 gallon real-time road test and check for 
any increased/decreased mileage.  Finally, I had said that the tail gate in 
the up position on a pickup truck decreases air flow and increases drag.  
The tail gate should be down (or install a net, as you've done).  Yours in 
KN, Phillip W. Mark, Florida

Hola Dave et al!

NEVER USE ACETONE in an engine...it will mess up the seals, gaskets,
etc...it has been outlawed in the Phillipines...refer to the recent news
article on KeelyNet about it DESTROYING engines.

Toluene, yes...

Mothballs, YES if you don't use too many...I have been using 1:4 in my
1996 Ranger for nearly 4 months now....was getting from 18-22mpg, with
mothballs, I get around 30-35mpg!!!  And it runs better than ever, has
more power and I can climb the mountains on my weekly trips to nearby
towns.  Been to Goodyear twice and they said the motor is in very good
condition for a 1996.

The problem is some people use WAY TOO MANY mothballs....the original
recommendation was 1 ball for 4 gallons...thats what I've been using.

They will carbonize the engine if you use too many and require repairs.

I think you have that wrong about the tailgate DOWN degrading
mileage..its running your pickup with the tailgate UP that produces the
resistance to lower your mpg...

Thats why they have the NET gate that lets air pass through it, but
tonneau cover is even better.  Living in central Mexico, I just load it
up with Mexicans wanting a lift and let them be the airfoil....<lol>....

Nos vemos!

Hey Mark,

Dude...  DUDE...  Skip the mothballs.  Naphtha will eventually screw up 
your engine.

Try adding 1-2 more oz of acetone per 10 gallons.  The sweet spot seems to 
be 3 oz, some people do better w/a little more or less.

Also try 7-10 ounces of toluene or xylene and advancing the timing 
(toluene is used commercially as an octane booster, xylene is very 
similar, and both are 50-75% cheaper if you add them in yourself as 
opposed to paying for the 'pre-blended' mix at the pump).

Try the Mobil 15k synthetic oil.  You change it less and it costs the same 
as running cheapo oil.
Add 4 oz of Torco MZP engine assembly lube to your gearbox.

Also, try a chin spoiler.  This will block air from your undercarriage.

Do all that and you'll probably have a 33MPG 59 Edsel.

PS running your truck with the tailgate down degrades MPGs.  Running a 
tonneau cover (even a 1/2 cover from the cab back) increases MPGs.
