From what I read farther down the page in the 'update' section, the
author recently did reverse trials without the acetone and with each
tank filled up from half-full, the mileage dropped accordingly.
Also, Throttle Body Fuel Injection _does_ require vaporisation. Not as
much as a carb, but the throttle body is a long way from the cumbustion
chamber to just throw liquid into it and exect it to vaporise by itself.
I've seen dirty TB injectors in my Chevy 4.3 V6 shoot streams of gas
into the body and the engine ran like crap. Clean out those needles in
the TBI and it can fix it right up. Direct injection of course, just
blows fuel right into the cylinders (or a lot closer to them) than TBI.
I suspect (like the replyer's Dad) that acetone did have something to do
with cleaning the injectors, and that can make a HUGE difference in
mileage, power and everything else the engine puts out.
