12 : 1 fuel to acetone as an additive?
« on: 17 July 2011, 14:04 »
Because acetone is a clean even burn, has anyone tried it as an additive to increase the octane rating and increase fuel economy? Any thoughts on it?

Thanks I collect tesco points which added up to air miles a lot quicker then shell points do! :)
