I was trying to put some pure acetone which I just bought for 5 dollars for 32oz into my car

Are you kidding?

Greatest date car in the world!

Front seat backs reclined level with the rear seats seat section. One huge bed!

I heard nitroglycerin with Mexican jumping beans works well, too.

[kidd]

If I understand you correctly, the acetone ate through the container you were using as a measuring cup. Which sounds like you didn’t add any acetone to your tank at all.

Which means you will see no change in your mpg efficiency at all.

Don’t add acetone to your gas.

[Bullish]

Why not drink some while you’re at it?

You should not have said that. He might just be that stupid.

Can't help you with Ripple, but...

Slings, that was an absolutely fascinating academic foray into the seedy underside of American homeless culture and their low-budget beverages of choice.

Imagine tuning into Cops one night and they're arresting Dems all over the place. What a show that would be!

The ultimate in feel-good TV.

Like Pythagoras, I cherish knowledge for its own sake.

"...do you think I will get a drastic improvement in mpg efficiency?"

Yeah, bud. Go 50/50 and it will be a jet.

[Darksheare]

Now I see it.
I think I just laughed something out my nose.

[America needs to wakeup]

"it had ate through the bottom of the cup thing!"

This is a joke right?

Why not try some nitro mixed with gas and tell me how it works out.

[Darksheare]

Acetone, and rubber gastank top fuel lines, plastic gastank, and rubber fuel lines under the hood do not mix.
Not unless you LIKE having gummy taffy like hoses that blow out under minimal pressure when you need power the most.
Not to mention the gastank turning to ooze beneath your car, slowly, drop by drop.

This looks more your speed, newbie:

[Yardstick]

One trick: has to be pure. Contaminants, as from waste acetone, must be filtered out or stripped or else the engine can run VERY rough.

So is the acetone sold at Home Depot or wherever pure enough for use in a car?

[Freedom4US]

I heard about the “mothball trick”. Supposed to increase octane. But then, it’s abrasive as hell and will ruin the engine RIGHT AWAY....?

[SAJ]

I would assume so. Purity should be stated on the can.

If it isn't, I think I'd shop elsewhere, as for instance a chemical supply store (probably cheaper there anyway).

Acetone is not an expensive chemical, as such things go. I shold prefer strongly to buy a bit more quantity than to pay a substantially higher price for a small, 1-fill-up quantity.

Also -- very important -- OBEY the storage instructions! Acetone is highly volatile under certain circumstances. You don't want any part of that game, m'friend, not at ALL!

FReegards!

Mucho thanks for the info & advice!

Hey, I've got a dumb idea!

I'll put some acetone into this container and.....

FReepers, Please delay zotting this poster. He's too funny!

Thanks to Professional Engineer for the new home suggestion.

Not exactly a zot thread at this time, but funny.

And with this I am away until tomorrow night at the soonest. Enjoy the new home.

[rottndog]

Well, shucks, do I have to be the first one (excepting sionnsar) to pave over the latest troll....

[rottndog]

Guess so....

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. What’s with this, then? I liked the other place!

I’ll have to find some penguins later, start making this look like home. Right now I need more coffee and some food and vitamins.

[Tax-chick]

This is just the scout. The others are waiting to see how things go.

[television is just wrong]

lol, the govt will come after you for the fuel taxes if you advertise.

[Tax-chick]

Well, at least the thread has some fish ...

[Tijeras_Slim]

I suggest you add all the acetone, but only when you’re on final approach to Glasgow Airport.

[Tax-chick]

Oh, you just want to get him in trouble!

I’d suggest he inhale the acetone :-).

[Trteamer]

I used to be in the Taxidermy business. I used a solution we mixed up to wash bird skins. It was comprised of 5 gallons unleaded gasoline, a quart of solvent alcholol, and a pint of turpentine.
I kept in in a jerry can on the back of my truck. On night we all went out to the bar. When I came out of the bar after midnight, the gas can top was off and the can was drained. There were motorcycle tracks on the ground. I’ll bet their chopper didn’t run too smoothly on my mixture. LOL!

Have no fear...we’ve taken over this thread and made it our home for the month of July. You’re welcome to join us!

Next time... try Drano.

[Tax-chick]

LOL! Walrus humor!

[SandyInSeattle]

Hi, everyone!

Just back from vacation to Colorado... it was wonderful! We needed an extra week to see everything, so we’ll have to go back.

[Aloysius88]

I found you.

Good morning Mr. & Mrs. Undead Thread and all the ships at sea.

Watch out for the penguins. We’ll be here all month.

[Monkey Face]

Your shop is looking good, DC!

Fantastic! We'll be back!

[Tax-chick]

Good morning!

[Monkey Face]

Kewl!

This thread now has no topic except the one we’re on at the moment!

Great looking VK! Is that yours?

[Monkey Face]

Morning, folks.

I kinda thought we’d stick with the other one, but this is OK.

It’s got a certain amount of...um...er...”class.”

[Tax-chick]

Howya! I need to go sweep some more ...

[fanfan]

Thanks Sis!

It’s cold and windy here today, so I don’t know how much sailing we’ll get in.

Meanwhile I need a shower.

Have a great day if I don’t see you again!

*Smootch*

[Monkey Face]

You sweep...I’m still trying to wake up.
