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

Sounds to me like someone pimping his Myspace account, and the screen name is a play on “King Anal”.
I’m away from my PING list, but I’d still call Level Two SNIFF with PIMP alert.
Guess he was out of sugar.
And lets not overlook the dreaded “Bones Farm” and “Bali Hai”...;)
In filling up a 15-gallon tank, use 3.54 oz (3.5 is certainly close enough) of 1% acetone. This is approximately 7 tablespoons (use a metal tablespoon, ok?).
On your second full tank and thereafter, you should see something on the order of 3 mpg better fuel mileage.
If you're near a chemical plant, you might inquire about getting some waste trimethylbenzene or even xylene from them. Small amounts of these can bump your mpg another 2-3.
Figure acetone costs about $1.00/4 oz, and much cheaper if one buys a gallon or two (something like $0.26/lb in bulk). Even a 4-oz. bottle will be cost-effective on any gain of 2-3 net mpg, given motor gasoline @ $3.00.
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.
FReegards!
Sorry, typo. For ‘’1%’’ please read ‘’100%’’. Purity is VERY important, btw, or your engine will run rough.
Whoaaah, Annie Green Springs! I think it was already out of production when I discovered cheap wine, so do I still qualify as an old fart :)
I watched someone put a whole tankful of acetone in his car and took this photo when he cranked it up.

Redd Foxx was the best free advertising that brand could have ever had.
Omg, where did you find that site?!
My bf bought me a short bottle of Wild Irish Rose as a joke, and I took a sip. Man, that stuff is gross. Likewise, I will not drink any beer with “Milwaukie” in the name. Natural Ice is as low as I’ll go.

It also dissolves "varnish" deposits in fuel injectors, and on intake valve stems. Valve lifters will accumulate a ring of varnish around the bottom that makes them not want to come out of the hole if you have to replace them. We used to dribble acetone or lacquer thinner down a length of welding rod held at the edge of the lifter and let it run down between the lifter and block to soften it up so they would come out easier.
Spill any on the paint?
