I'm not sure if there are any differences in "grades" of acetone but my brother and I went down to the local hardware store and got some to try in his '02 Dodge diesel 3/4 ton 4x4 and I'll let you know if we see anything new. I don't think it will help but it was worth a try I figure because I don't think it will hurt either. I figure it will take at least two or three tanks for any milage difference to show but we will see.

Well we tried one tank in my brothers Dodge at 1/2gal. per tank and there was no difference in milage BUT during the test my brother ran the thing up to 100mph for a few miles so that didn't help the milage a bit. One thing that does seem to have changed is that it smokes less and it's quieter. I guess it cleaned up the injectors? I don't think one tank full is enough to really know but we are both a little nervous about adding any more.
