    NO! Acetone is corrosive and will eat up rubber and some plastics that are in the fuel plumbing. no no no... not worth it.
    Sold the VX 11-21-07. It was fun while I had it!
    Thanks for all the help.

    Ah, that was the reason I didn't try it. Dino thanks for the reminder.

    As of 1996 all vehicles produced have fuel lines that are strong enough to withstand such cleaners and chemicals.

    I plan to try this next time my tank is low.

    I will not be double. But about 3-5 mpg increase. I have been talking with a number of professors and engineers concerning this.

    Better your VX as the guinea pig than mine.

    Don't think the hazards of putting acetone in your fuel system are worth the dubious claims of mpg improvement, but hey go for it-- and let us know your results:bwgr:
