    I think I'm erring on the side of caution with a pre oxygenated fuel introduction era vehicle but it (acetone) is interesting. Supposed to raise octane and increase combustion efficiency and give a faster flamefront.

    When running 118 C-16 the soup gets turned up to tune 3, around 20psi of boost. The C-16 allows aggressive tuning and helps with detonation, it's just rough on O2's.

    I just do the practice for better MPG and zero fuel injection and top-end maintenance. I was prepared to have a Walnut shell shot procedure done to the intake of the Tucson, but the valves were almost as clean as the piston tops.

    That's an interesting aspect.....valve and injector cleaning. I wonder how much better it might be compared to Techron or SeaFoam or Run-Rite.

    I'll post a photo so I'm not off topic lol. I wonder what those unidentified components are. Are there any commercially available fuel system cleaners that contain acetone?

    On my GDI engines, 2012 Elantra included, the best top end cleaner I found had PEA compound. Id do the intake every 15k/3 oil changes. Still it didnt beat the daily acetone infusion.

    In the past I've stopped at a Goodwill near me maybe once a month. I used to go more years ago, when you would still find some good media. I bought a couple media items in Dec. for 59¢ each.

    On Friday, I stopped for a few minutes as I was at the post office next door, I saw two mint Bartok RCA Red Seal records. I had them in my arm ready to head out. Then I noticed their new media prices sign. I wasn't paying $3.99 each for something that I could easily do without. I didn't buy anything. Records were 59¢ in December.

    Geez... I really hate these prices on gas!
    Can we please go back to Biden-Nomics when everything was really awesome.

    We just went under 2 a gallon in Laramie too.

    Speaking of, what ever happened to that kinjit, flex, fix, kix person?
    Can't remember the name... sorry bout that but, couldn't resist.

    Many of my most trusted mechanics over the years have insisted it does not do an engine good. My vehicles have gotten better fuel mileage with 100% gas.
    I believe the fuel lines, in particular, can be damaged by the more corrosive nature of ethanol. It also retains moisture more readily than petroleum fuel, so that's no beuno as well...for obvious reasons.

    Ethanol is hygroscopic by nature, but at 10% conc. in petrol it won't absorb much H2O. The problem with leaving in engines stagnant over long periods is it contributes to the formation of organic acids that eat at everything, especially pot alloy carbeurator bowls.

    A lot of the fellows on the snowblower forum I'm a member of also get uptight about ethanol gas for whatever reason. In my case I buy 50 gallons of my small engine gas once every 18 months-2 years. It's 87 octane and probably has ethanol; I'm not sure as I don't check but it is the cheapest grade of gas I can get. I treat each 5 gallon can with an ounce to a gallon of seafoam or walmart's version which is about half the price as soon as I get home. All my small engines (boat, lawnmower, pressure washer, generator, snowblower) start right up settle into a normal idle and I've never once drained a carb or had any issues in the 15-20 years I've been doing this. I did have the bowl off the blower last year to change the main jet and there's no corrosion in there after 11 years. Nope; I don't buy the ethanol gas is bad nonsense.

    My snowblower's engine warranty would have been void if it needed engine service under warranty and was found to have used ethanol infused gasoline.

    Ethanol IMO should be illegal. Buying gas should only involve pure gasoline.
