[@jamesmartin5804]

It is in small amounts! Acetone and Xylene is mixed in to boost octane, At oil refineries! Do you know premium gas smells like paint thinner? I will say this is an alternative to premium fuel carbon deposit fix, causing timing to get pulled Because of higher compression ratio of carbon deposits in cylinder wall! This all comes down to not driving your car correctly. Foot all the way down Foot all the way up cruise control. If you have The traction to do it!

[@OmerTheGreatOne]

easiest simplest things that work without any side-effects on ur vehicle: 1.choose low rolling resistance tires (when buying tires) 2.pump them up higher then suggested psi, even 4 psi more helps a lot (also makes the car feel more responsive) 3.drive at speed limit or just above it, not speeding. 4.accelerate in a way that you can feel your car is shifting gears quickly and not revving the rpms. 5.idle your car for a short while, basically you can drive it as soon as you feel the rpms reducing. Dont put it in gear when rpms are high, it is an indication that the oil has not circulated throughout the engine. 6.remove unnecessary junk from ur trunk. 7.if in dry conditions, drive behind other large vehicles (at a safe distance).

[@hondacustom]

starting stopping your engine , wears out your starter and ignition switch, it is a non saver, it increases cost

[@johnmoore1495]

Indrid Cold there’s still plenty of residual oil and there’s immediate oil once the car is on, it’s the whole point of the anti-drain back valve in the oil filter. The damage usually talked about when starting the car is in reference to when the engine is cold (aka not up to operating temperature, doesn’t mean -30F.) Heat cycles are what really kill an engine over time. There’s no way to stop micro cracks from forming during the expansion and contraction.

Acetone doesn't increase your mileage. Snopes and NPR's Car Talk agree that while it does nothing to increase mileage, it can cause significant damage to your rubber engine components. Don't use it. Kipkay, do better research next time.

[@HelloDahling1]

yes, very true. I'm glad to see someone makes sense of this crap.

[@TheDVM1]

lol snopes lololol

[@passedhighschoolphysics6010]

An even better way to increase gas mileage is to use diesel fuel. After a tank you'll be pushing your car and getting more miles per gallon.

[@passedhighschoolphysics6010]

That's because there's more energy in a gallon of diesel fuel than in a gallon of gas. The US government changed the pricing structure for fuel so you were paying for the amount of energy per gallon. Remember when diesel was less expensive than gas?

[@passedhighschoolphysics6010]

I found another way to increase gas millage is to only drive downhill. The gas millage is fantastic.

[@passedhighschoolphysics6010]

Thanks for confirming it will increase the gas mileage.

[@mudmanz250]

touche'

[@passedhighschoolphysics6010]

Thank you

[@zzzhuh]

Want to improve gas mileage? Buy a manual, less to go wrong and the mileage is easily an extra 2-3 miles. That whole idea about Acetone in the tank is a bad idea.Instead, go to your local car shop and buy 'injector cleaner.' Brands like Lucas have been around forever and they are designed to unclog fuel injectors, valves, and they add octane to the fuel. Replacing a fuel filter is also rather cheap and easy to install.

[@Hppyhppy2]

zzzhuh is a Blogger for big oil companies.

[@zzzhuh]

Hppyhppy2 My man I wish, I wouldn't give two shits about the price of gas if I was paid by people to advertise a product on youtube.

[@ravengsxr]

Not true, Acetone is pretty good stuff. been using it for years on several cars and they work like a charm, been enjoying the extra 4-5 mpgs. Plus it's cheaper than those "injector cleaners/ fuel enhancers". A quart of acetone will be sufficient for 14 fill-ups on a medium car or more.

[@zzzhuh]

ravengsxr It also adds water to the tank which can destroy a car.

[@zzzhuh]

RSH21 Manual's have always had the advantage over automatics when it comes to gas mileage. There can be a difference from 2mpg - 7mpg with the same car model. Don't know about you but that adds up quiet a bit over time in my opinion. Gas today contains ethanol which is a cleaning agent, but low quality gas can still build up deposits over time. Injector cleaner isn't going to "boost performance" or "tune up" your car, but it can stabilize, and help reduce knocks and pings in your engine. Good to see your a certified mechanic, congrats!

[@MadMarker]

Great video kipkay! Thank you for all the valuable tips. And for all those critics who will complain about the damage acetone can do to paint, spilling gasoline will also, over time discolor and even make paint bubble and peel. Try being careful. Use a funnel and do it with a full tank of gas in an area where you are protected from wind. Have a rag or paper towel ready to cover the bottom of the funnel as you remove it. Simply being careful is easy to do.

[@frankgonzalez24]

This is as legit as a tree dollar bill.

[@tacoman864]

@vijay surendran ahhhhh south park lol

[@argenthellion]

Yep, sure thing Kipkay, just remove the spare tire... What you spare in mileage, you will pay for fines. In most countries the spare tire is MANDATORY!

[@simtitan1]

Like any police officer will go through your trunk looking for the spare.

[@argenthellion]

simtitan1 Oh yea, when they are in the mood to write you a ticket, they will check everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, the tow rope, the car-jack, and EVEN the fluorescent vest...

[@simtitan1]

Why is it that new cars don't come with spares then? I don't drive yet so I really think I need to learn, as i'm getting my permit next year.

[@argenthellion]

simtitan1 The main issue is the traffic law. Each country independently forms it's own, so it's advisable to research them for your country, and the immediate neighborhood. At least in Europe, as far as I can understand, the laws are flexible. If the car in question was manufactured before the new laws were made, those laws do not completely apply to them. The greatest example is the EURO HOOK. I do not know when the law was made for it, but the point is that cars manufactured before that law are allowed to keep their factory-setup hook on all the time, while newer cars have to dismantle the hook when not in use.

[@SeanFrankovitch]

Nikola Silvers You realize there is a thing called consent to search right? Unless you've already broken a law, they won't know you don't have a spare unless you're the kind of moron that lets police search your car for no reason. Maybe if you knew your rights it wouldn't matter.

[@mcpetersjohn]

my experience with acetone has been great, in a 1969GMC with a 305 and 2 brl carburetor. but you need to be careful with it in newer cars. it can soften rubber seals and gaskets. it DOES raise the octane of the gas, meaning cleaner combustion and better mpg

[@superbros1690]

I got more mpg when i sold all my organs. The doctor said they were excess weight!

[@dirkdiggler9482]

Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that pure acetone will actually destroy a car engine?

[@piffman9559]

Dirk Diggler because it can, it eats at plastic and rubber parts like o-rings in your injectors and even the rubber hosing

[@dirkdiggler9482]

piffman 95 Thanks for the confirmation. I knew I had to be onto something.

[@MrSupercar55]

He said "Acetone aids in the vapourisation of gasoline, increasing fuel efficiency, *engine longevity* and performance" at 1:28. How bad can it be?

[@dirkdiggler9482]

MrSupercar55 Yes, I know what he said. I still can't help suspecting that he doesn't really know what he's talking about. If the stuff is that great, why doesn't everybody use it in their car?

[@MrSupercar55]

Dirk Diggler It "aids in the vapourisation". As a nerd, I am enjoying this. Gasoline (we call it petrol here in England btw) gives off vapours. The vapours are flammable, not the liquid itself. Spark plugs at the top of an engine's cylinders ignite the vapours. Gasoline is given an octane rating, which is the percentage of octane present in the fuel. Regular "unleaded" has an octane rating of 95, while premium has an octane rating of 97-98. Putting acetone in the fuel will only have the same effect as using 97/98 RON.

[@danekeeper1]

Acetone can and does attack O-rings and other neo rubber fittings, the biggest problem with acetone are the O-rings on your fuel injectors if so equipped. to test this get a 10cent o-ring and place it in a small amount of acetone, remove and set it on a secure place. in just a few hours of exposure it will make the oring swell and it will develop check marks then you will have an unmetered air condition that will tell your o2 sensors that you are running lean, your car will pump more fuel actually making your car run rich then your cat(s) will overheat and fail.....

[@Templarfreak]

+danekeeper1 Many people are making the point that the amount he said to put in should cause no damage at all.

[@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat]

+danekeeper1 who talks here about pure acetone fueling? Put ratio which is advised and then test your comment :)

[@Templarfreak]

Tomas Av. You might want to try that again but not drunk. XD

[@Joefabricator]

+danekeeper1 It does not matter in the slightest what happens with pure acetone. I agree that it's not the greatest idea, but isn't going to do much of anything at all. This is complete and utter BS though. While acetone mixed at the mentioned ratio's with gasoline isn't going to damage your engine, it isn't going to give you better mileage, or any increase performance either. His numbers are straight up lies, and I am shamed that I contributed to this prick's income by viewing this garbage.

[@danekeeper1]

Some of you gentlemen might be confused about organic chemistry, concentrations are important at any level. Heat and turbulence also contribute to reactions in chemistry. CH3 is used as a reagent to dissolve plastics and epoxies and will change most O'ring structures at any concentration.

[@mr.dahliaking.202]

My grandpa tried pure acetone on his 60 yo soviet moskwich, and after start-up the black as coal very stinky fumes started to rush from the exhaust pipe and after a few minutes smokes stopped coming out and black scales started to fly out from the exhaust pipe, After few minutes the sound in the engine normalized and became more silence than ever and almost no fumes were coming out from the exhaust pipe. After a test-run around the city, the car suddantly stopped, and we heard a loud bang and a lot of smoke from the front of the car. After repair it turned out that acetone forced all the black scales from the bad cheap gas in soviet times to build up into the air filter and into the exhaust pipe filters, thus preventing the fumes form coming out. After a thural cleaning of the exhaust pipes and the engine and the gas pipes, the engine worked so smoothly and so quietly, therefor showing the brilliant quality of the vintage car, when they weren't sawing material, that my grandpa was really amazed, and after using pure acetone with good quality gasoline, and after changing the sparkplugs, the oil and the bad damaged drive-chains and engine belts, the mileage increased from 26 kilometers per liter, to 58 kilometers per liter. If soviet 70 yo engine can handle it with no problem, your cars will handle it without any worries and complains. . .

[@rudyjrhinojosa1424]

Glad I found ur posting 7hanxx.

[@Bobtnelis1]

WARNING! This test is highly inaccurate. First always run your tires at the pressure recommended in your vehicle (normally inside the driver's front door or on the gas tank for, unless you are not running the recommended tire size then consult your tire dealership for the correct pressure). Second, NEVER use fix-a-flat (or anything similar) in a vehicle tire. It will destroy the tire and your TPMS sensor. Next, remember that once you switch to the higher prices synthetic motor oil you cannot go back. Last of all, acetone will destroy your fuel lines and gaskets, not to mention paint if you spill any on your vehicle. Oh, and all that starting and stopping will likely damage your starter and your battery. In order to accurately claim these are safe and effective much more testing should be done in a controlled environment. This is bad advice.

[@Bobtnelis1]

***** No. That's not bad advice. I worked in the tire industry for many years and have been certified by the 3 largest tire manufacturers in the US. Anytime you alter the pressure from the recommended levels you are potentially putting your life and the lives of those riding with you at risk. It's simple physics.

[@johnbroskey2547]

I hope you know you can switch from synthetic to regular oil any time you want. Once you go to synthetic you can switch back.

[@RETIREMESOON]

He's in an institution . Your car doesn't get addicted to synthetic they use 50/00 . I checked with my mechanic and he laughed.

[@unleashedrider4309]

My tires rate at 44psi but I always put them and 35psi it gives you more traction on turns running them lower. The highest I'd ever go on max psi is 40psi bc I live in az and it bubble a tire quick putting them at the max psi of 44psi

[@markducharme9518]

Just kidding , that's funny...I think..

[@ThatDRW]

What you forget to mention is that Acetone is polar, thus attracts water from the air whenever it is exposed to it. Each time you pour it, or even when that bottle isn't sealed 100% airtight, a small part of the acetone gets polluted with water. That water starts building up inside your gas-tank below the gasoline (gasoline floats ontop of water) and after a few times when your gas is running low, your engine will be sucking up an increasingly higher dose of water.

[@baddoggie101]

More likely it will remove the water from the tank as it is burned with the fuel.

[@ThatDRW]

baddoggie101 Not really. It doesn't bind to the water, it just likes to have it around. More and more water will build up inside your tank and after a year or two when you have to use your last gallon of 'fuel' to reach the gasstation you'll stop dead in track because your petrol engine does not run quite well on water. Not even starting on how well even the slightest amount of water helps corroding any part it comes across.

[@rbeck3200tb40]

Thats why youre supposed to put in the acetone in a full tank of gas that doesnt have any air or moisture in the gas tank.Dont put acetone in when it is half full of gas

[@funnypranker34]

[@rompn4x]

Biggest thigs that affect mileage is tire pressure and excess weight in the car. Most cars no longer have plug wires and have 100k mile plugs so they're not as critical... One thing you should do after 100k miles is change your oxygen sensors. Did this in my F150 and instantly picked up 3 mpg.

Joey D Depends on how many cats you have. Your V8 probably has two, one on each bank and there is always an O2 sensor before the cat and after. Some V6s and V8s merge the two banks into one skinny little pipe and only use a single cat. This is usually done on FWD cars and really kills the power output.

I'm actually doing the acetone thing right now and I am noticing a significant difference. I already do a number of things to try to save gas and adding acetone really helped increase my gas savings. I plan on uploading a video of my experience and results from it soon.

[@ronbrown2770]

I hate to spoil your fun but this is BS.Any increase in mileage is most likely due to the cleaning effect of the added solvent. The air to fuel ratio is controlled by the ECM when you plug in a scanner you can see real time air fuel trim. With the scanner hooked up go for a drive taking notes on outside air temp and engine load and TPS. Do the same test with additives you will not see a difference that would make any cost savings or added fuel mileage. There's not such thing as a mechanic in a can. The internal combustion engine is fairly simple so are it's requirements and thinning the mix is better of left to racers and chemical engineers. If you have an older carbureted car Acetone will trash the foam floats or loosen accumulated varnish in the fuel lines thus plugging up the system. Anyhow there's no magic to better fuel mileage it all comes down to driver habits or loss nut behind the wheel. .

As fuel consultant I have to comment here - firstly Acetone has been known for sometime but there is a reason it is not in many fuel additives. While acetone will burn with fuel it is a solvent which will attach internal components and dry out rubber seals. On top of all of this, acetone will also break down oil faster then normal wear and tear. Do not used acetone in your car or truck unless you can afford the cost to repair your engine.

[@ninbri64]

Used excel to log mpg results so it must be legit. Acetone it is!

[@pedrammaelstorm7051]

As a car guy, done many mods, I can see you're not a car guy, but had your genius approach on this matter. The mods you mentioned were easy to do, plug and play. However, we car guys sacrifice mileage for performance. One of the ways is to increase the efficiency. You can have better mileage by knowing your engine characteristics and the transmission attached to it. I strongly disagree with the acetone thing. We may mess with contents of our gas tank for a drag race or a weekend or to baby sit an engine. But we may oversee the harmful by-products of these chemicals can cost.

[@snookysnax]

more harmful than ethanol?

[@JA-rn5qv]

@@snookysnax Or gasoline for that matter. The thing is, that whole myth was disproved long ago. People have taken common fuel system components (seals, gaskets, fuel line, etc) and left them soaking in acetone/gasoline mixture for days, weeks, months, and a year time, with no significant negative results, and documented the results. I personally know of one gentleman that has been using the correct acetone/gasoline fuel ratio in his Mercedes for over 25 years now, and no negative effect on fuel system components, because they are precisely designed to be chemical resistant. Keep in mind that some of the most popular fuel system cleaners are 50% or greater acetone!

[@LordSandwichII]

***** Yeah, but it's probably not enough to eat through the seals and destroy the fuel system. Also, you're not supposed to use it every day.

[@crustyHO]

mackat4ck Neither is the amount he used. If you have a flex fuel vehicle, it equipped to handle ethanol which has the similar affects to plastics as acetone. It's no different than filling up with mostly ethanol fuel. If you don't have a flex fuel or older vehicle then yes acetone will make the rubber fuel lines and fuel pump brittle and crack if used in too high of a concentration, as with anything in life it's all in moderation. Also on newer vehicles they are designed to adjust fuel, valve timing, and spark. Which you will not see that much of an effect, however older vehicles especially carburetors you can see a huge difference in decreasing the flash point of 87 octane, especially at lower rpms.

[@user-ew8mx1vn5m]

you can burn hydrogen peroxide too!!

[@martomcuser]

It depends on the vehicle. It could be the case, like you say, for newer cars, but if you drive an older car that may not be the case. Newer cars with automatic transmissions "learn" the way you drive. On older cars without that learning feature of the PCM, regarding transmission shifts, if you push the accelerator further your shifts will be delayed, because your computer thinks you need more power. And, the longer you are in lower gears - the worse the fuel economy.

Acetone also eats the parts in the fuel delivery system too. When the hoses leading to the fuel pump or the gasket in your throttle body or carb start leaking it will cost money to fix. But hey it could help to do the acetone trick temporarily if you are in a financial bind.

[@jdscrips2759]

why are we running on gas when we should be running on gas fumes 70% of the gas we put in our tank goes out the tailpipe! Something is wrong!

[@JoeyC-ss2tl]

Nope, close to 100% of the fuel is burned. Usually around 30% of the energy from that combustion process is harnessed, the rest is lost as heat, not as unburnt fuel. Vaporizing the fuel could possibly increase efficiency by increasing the rate of flame travel in the fuel air charge, but the same effect could be achieved by making the intake charge more turbulent once it enters the cylinder.

[@Jerrythenerdful]

In the 1980's we dyno'ed plenty of engines. I designed OEM and aftermarket electronics. Spark plugs and wires won't change crap unless they are really bad. Any change, unless you have a dropped cylinder from misfiring, is immeasurable. Also, his acetone suggestion is total malarkey. The suggestion of using acetone and the rational behind it is absolute total rubbish. Do not do it.

[@Jerrythenerdful]

Ambrosius Malachai Your statement demonstrates the danger of understanding part of what goes on, but not how that part affects the system. Your comment is typical of half-truths and factoids used to justify false claims in many areas. In this case, the fuel is already atomized adequately. Atomizing it more is meaningless, because atomization is not a limiting factor in efficiency. Articles or videos like this are based on false claims supported by half-truths, and mislead people into wasting money or damaging things.

[@SeanFrankovitch]

MightyMouse1222 The problem with the grease monkey opinion here is that you're implying that someone drives something worth keeping in good shape. I personalize drive a shit mobile. It's to the point that I don't bother fixing anything because it isn't worth the cost. Past regular service the machine is garbage and not worth worrying about. From my stand point, long term effects is a moot point. For all i can my car could exploded in my works parking lot.

[@MightyMouse1222]

***** While your vehicle may be a heap of shit, some of us have vehicles that we'd like to keep around as long as possible. I'm quite attached to both of mine and am not looking to replace either of them until I absolutely have to. The main point here is why put all of this effort into fuel economy if you're going to have to buy a new car because half of the 'tips' here are going to destroy the vehicle, and don't really do much in the way of fuel economy - not enough to make a difference anyways.

[@Jerrythenerdful]

***** The truth is adding acetone does NOT increase fuel mileage. Fuel efficiency would not be improved by increased atomization (if it happened) because lack of full atomization is not affecting VE. The claim is pure BS. Making it worse, acetone and other similar hydrocarbons are harmful to fuel system components and cost more per gallon than gasoline. Acetone is about $10-20 a gallon.

Most of those are just maintenance things you should already know you need to keep a check on. Taking out your tire iron and spare is a pretty stupid idea even if you do have an assistance provider. Constantly stopping amd starting your car every time you stop for more than 30 seconds is a good way to put unneeded wear on your starter and will cause it to wear out faster.

[@ihatekate08]

To all the people talking about acetone being bad for the car, I've been putting acetone in my 77 Granada with 302 for about ten years, swap all the rubber/silicone gaskets for cork and you'll be fine. As far as burning hotter, it does, but with a non fouler on all the plugs and some minor engine mods, that turned out alright as well.

[@PaulOosterhof]

You can also put water in your tires so your car can Roll out longer. Some say that Toyota has done that with The Prius and other hybrid cars.

[@WorkHardPlayHardTV-1]

The short term as it will not take long is that Acetone will dry out rubber seals and damage fuel systems. It's a solvent or better known as a Aromatic that will save you money on fuel at the cost of engine parts and the environment. Kipkay's advise to remove junk from the truck and to make sure engine parts of fresh are keys to saving money on fuel cost. To take it even further, fuel needs to be enhanced but not by an Acetone as it will do a lot more damage after all the savings.

Hyper-mile! (coast in neutral down hills) allowed me to almost double my MPG; I was getting 46 MPG on my 1993 Subaru Legacy AWD just by coasting whenever possible.

[@leepeffers9331]

The absolute best way to increase mileage is going to cost money up front. Increase the air intake of your vehicle, not necessarily going all the way up to cold air intake but it WILL help and opening up the exhaust. It may be costly up front but you WILL see a difference and it WILL pay for itself in gas. That's assuming you don't floor it all the time with all that extra horsepower you freed up LOL.

[@GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

Do you add the acetone on a full, empty or half-full tank? Also, how often should you pour the acetone in the fuel tank?

[@Voivrenetwork]

I'm thankful my car has idle auto stop when I put it in neutral and is capable of lean burn. It still helps to take the rest of his advice in this video, it's just good maintenance in general, but I think I'll keep my spare in, it's tiny anyway. Also helps if your car is aerodynamic.
