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

Hey, I like certain varieties of Boones Farm. Strawberry Hill was pretty good. I’ve never seen Bali Hai, sounds like some sort of Sangria.

Livingston Farms makes a decent Sangria.

Got it...

Is that your car at the Glasgow airport?

We used to have his records, plus we always watched his show. IIRC, the IRS ruined Red’s life. After they get done with you, I imagine you’d need something stronger than Ripple.

Omg, where did you find that site?!

Probably via the Weird Earl's feature at http://www.straightdope.com. And if not, I don't want to remember where!

Remember that TV show named after the Dems' animule?

"America's Most Wanted?"

Nope.

Rather imagine that, diluted to 522-1 in gasoline (7 ml/gal) and vaporised, that the solvent effect you describe is either not anywhere nearly as potent, even possibly non-existent.

Not that I doubt your word at all, but, after 6 years of running my Nissan Max with this additive, my mechanic (and has been for 20-odd years) indicates no such problem as you describe.

“>>>I was trying to put some pure acetone which I just bought for 5 dollars for 32oz into my car, and i only had about a gallon of gas inside so i was putting about 6 ml worth and i used a medicine measuring cup lil thing ontop of medicine bottles and as i was walkin to the car the acetone started coming out and it had ate through the bottom of the cup thing!. I have a 1994 cadillac fleetwood and it has the 5.7 LT1 engine in it do you think I will get a drastic improvement in mpg efficiency?”

I prefer al baby’s “Need FReeper Help” but that’s just me : )

[Slings and Arrows]

I know. It was a joke. Most Dems should be under sedation or under indictment.

[SAJ]

Apologies, misread your post entirely (backwards, in fact). We’re on the same page — thks for pointing out another benefit.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Troll? Yeah.....but I wanna see the car blow up before the ZOT.

[Lady Jag]

What a thought!

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

Some free advice: Don’t play with matches.

Think of buying a Prius, horribly conventional, but probably safer.

Actually, sugar or beach sand will solve your gas mileage problems just as quickly and even cheaper. The engine will go bye-bye and you can find another means of transportation.

Just in case that you are not trolling, I will answer plainly.

Acetone is a powerful solvent. Unless your vehicle owner's manual states that your engine NEEDS acetone, I would put it back in the bottle so your female relatives can use it as fingernail-polish-remover.

Seriously, are you STONED?

[LibKill]

BTW.

A 1948 Buick will go 160mph on a mixture of avgas and mothballs.

One time.

I think it will evaporate in the tankbefore it gets to the engine.

Have you considered nitromethane? It is available in model airplane shops.

Were you inhaling the acetone before you posted, Anal?

ibtz.
