I would be very skeptical. Remember Acetone is a solvent
and many rubber/poly parts in the fuel system are only
designed to resist gasoline and known additives. Some additives
can dissolve the seals. This is especially true for carbureted
vehicles. A few bucks saved on a fillup might cost you a thousand
in repairs.

Acetone will decrease the octane rating and can lead to detonation
in high compression engines. It's also more volatile than gasoline
and will evaporate, get sucked into the canister system and be burned
off.

That and any of it gets on your plastic body parts or paint and
it's buh buy paint. Acetone is also known as paint solvent and is
great for removing road tar from chrome bumpers and knocking down
oils before painting bare metal.

I have used this chemical Acetone Lab grade in air sample analysis, using a
microscope. Sample prep using this chemical, it burns quite slow and very
clean. You can put it on a flat surface light it on fire and after burning
out no residue is left, so it might be true.
