Acetone is a solvent, and a strong one at that, for MANY plastics.

I'm not sure I'd try it until somone else has.

myth was busted on mythbusters, they did prove though that you can run a diesel on cooking oil :P

IIRC they got something pathetic like 0.2 mpg loss (remember US gallons are less than ours :) ).

Mind, it doesn't take into account that extra tuning of fuel mixture and ignition timing may or may not get a gain.




Anyhoo sod that.... Kari Byron Mmmm :norty:
