I know there was a post about this a while back, but I just discovered the following article, and it appears to be non-marketing related, unless the author has a bunch of acetone manufacturer stock.

My concern is that acetone could damage the seals in the fuel system (lift pump (on the PD), feed pump/injection pump) or unit PD injectors. Acetone is a powerful oraganic solvent.
Have any of you that tried acetone addition to fuel noticed any difference in mileage? If it acts like the article states, you would think the benefit would be much greater in gasoline fueled vehicles, since unburned hydrocarbon emission (before the catalyst) is greater.
This article claims the few ounces of acetone per tank of fuel increases the effeciency of the burn and lowers HC emissions.
