Thank you Mr. Jain, for the encouraging infmn. I will premix the acetone with
some petrol before putting it into the tank.
Will keep in touch after 2 months of regular use in petrol driven car.

Dear Mr. Subramanian,

Dear Mr. Subramanian,
I tried commercial acetone (the one commonly available in India with chemists
and used as nail polish remover) in my diesel car @ 0.2% with ordinary diesel.
The result as noticed by me under identical conditions of daily commuting was
increase in kmpl from 17 to 19.5 .
These reports of better economy with an admixture of acetone in diesel
fuel are extremely interesting. I surmise that something is going on
besides reducing unburned fuel, and that the acetone is improving the
speed of combustion, resulting in more energy being released close to top
dead centre,
Acetone is a perfectly good motor fuel ingredient, all other things being
equal. Sir Harry Ricardo and colleagues used it in Castrol R motor
racing fuel in the early 1920's, a mixture designed to have extreme heat
of vapourization and charge density with high knock resistance. They used

Thank you Doug,
The experiment is for on the road driving under normal driving conditions
for two months and only to see whether there is a mileage increase or not.
I'll certainly keep an eye on plastic and rubber parts.
Thank you Keith for yr encouragement and infmn that comml acetone is

If it worked, somebody small would have bought a 55 gallon drum of the stuff
and repackaged it as the newest miracle. The label wouldn't say what the
active ingredient is probably. Heck, if it works, I'll do it.
Selling fuel is a stable low risk business. The independent retailers
don't generally see radical change as part of their business model.
Otherwise why aren't they all selling B20?

Hi ,
Gasolene( petrol ) costs in India about 95 cents a liter, roughly twice of its
price in U.S. And is edging up towards a dollar and more. The possibility of
getting more mileage by mixing with a small dose of acetone came up from a mail

The acetone post is very interesting. will it harm catalytic converter ,oxygen

Except that the petro industry doesn't really have any interest in you getting
better mileage. They certainly aren't telling us any ways to send them less
money.

Hi Bob,
Everything you're saying sounds very reasonable. But, sometimes the conspiracy
theorist in me keeps coming out. Do you think that the oil industry has enough
political horsepower to influence the possibility of this happening -- even if
it works? Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself and
