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. Regards, DVS

The result as noticed by me under identical conditions of daily commuting was increase in kmpl from 17 to 19.5 . Additional effect noticed was cooler running of the engine and reduction in noise. During highway driving, while overtaking vehicles, I noticed better pick-up (the diesel cars are a bit sluggish as compared to gasoline cars) similar to gasoline cars. A quantitative check could, however be made only in laboratory conditions. A tip here: the acetone may be premixed with fuel to, say, a 5% or 10% mixture so that while it is being added to the fuel tank, it does not damage the tank hose as it flows down; it does not emit fumes that could be inhaled; the measurement accuracy is better (the quantity to be measured and added to the fuel tank does not remain too small to cause appreciable error) and the possibility of damage to car paint by its accidental spillage is reduced. The 0.2 % addition to fuel is not expected to do any damage to the rubber hoses. However, the risk perception and risk taking is personal in nature and, here also, laboratory tests would be required to establish long term effects. Anyway, I am already proceeding with acetone doped fuel for my car. Y. K. Jain > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Plan great trips with Yahoo!
