    • The Fuel Cleaner at the Store!

      That stuff you buy at the store, the gas saver and clog remover in the bottle has small amounts of acetone or xylene in them. The concentration he is recommending is about the max you would want to use. Any more could mess with the ratio so that the fuel does not function properly. Just like when you buy household cleaner they have small amounts of ammonia etc but pure ammonia works better.

    • I wouldnt do it

      I don't recommend that...It will cause rusting

    • Won't Rust!

      Rust is caused by moisture/water being left on steel that has not been coated with enamel. Xylene and Acetone burn with the fuel. Fuel burns and those additives prevent excess moisture. The results are efficiency and it also cleans the valves that get clogged with pollution.

  • QUESTION

    Both the Acetone and Xylene together?
    I've been doing it with Acetone for 5 months and it really helps.

  • This is interesting...

    I've heard of the acetone, but not the Xylene. I did read a few Octane boosters though, and they DO contain Xylene. Nice work!

    • try it now

      we tried it on my dad's volvo S60, my mom's Audi A6, did no damage. im sure it wont hurt your car :] ethonal will though, ethonal [like E85] directly damages your engine. oh, by the way, this wont work if there is ethonal in your gas.

  • No more spilling stuff

    I used a spray bottle top and stuck the tube in the can and streamed out the liquid into the cup so it doesn't spill everywhere. Xylene is a skin irritant.

  • No more spilling!

    Hey man I figured out by using a spray bottle top you can syphon out the liquid into the cup. Just use it on stream instead of spray! It works great. 10-12 squirts and you got four ounces with no mess.

  • The question is,

    will the money you save for gas cover the costs of acetone and xylene?

    By KTrace 1201226758 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Calculate

      The average price for 64 ounces EACH of xylene and acetone is 17 USD so thats 34 USD. Together the ounces are 138. 138 divided by 2 is 69. So you will use the mixture 69 times. If your gas tank burns 30 miles per a gallon and it saves you two gallons you are saving that much 69 times versus the cost which initially was 34 USD. 69 X 3 = 207. 207-34 = 163. I might be off a little because I did it in my head but looks like about 160-170 dollars in savings with the subtraction of the initial cost of the product.

  • I Don't Think So!

    Acetone is the primary ingredient in nail-polish remover. And while it will burn and is a high-octane material, it's also a very powerful solvent. So while it's in your fuel system, it'll be dissolving all of your rubber components ... like gaskets and O-rings.
    Some cars have a rubber hose in the fuel line that goes between the fuel-cap assembly and the tank. When you add your acetone, pouring 100 percent, undiluted rubber-eater right onto that tube, you'll be eating through it in no time.
    It dissolves paint. So if you slip and spill a little bit outside your fuel filler door, you'll have a nice, unpainted line running down to the bottom edge of your rear quarter panel.

    • Expiriment on your own...

      Try to stick an o-ring in a cup with the four ounce mixture and leave it in there for about three days. Tell us what happens. I don't have any o-rings. Also paint on vehicle has several layers of enamel. You have to rub it on really good for a long time while grinding it off. I have done some work on my paint before and even laquer thinner has little effect unless it is rubbed on there really hard.

  • Scam...

    Acetone and Xylene are solvents and will destroy your engine. Louis Enricht attempted to pawn of acetone as a cheap fuel additive in 1916 and even coerced Henry Ford into making him an offer for the secret.
    P.S. Ethanol will not inflict any harm to your engine as long as it is anhydrous and used only as a additive >10%

    • Ford the original gas hog....

      Henry Ford had a lot of money invested in oil and he was slightly nuts. He actually had a civilization or village called Ford Land or something like that built in South America and lost millions of dollars because everybody went crazy. That would be equivilent to trillions now. He wanted people to use oil because he made money that way. Thats why!
