BASIC PRINCIPLES 12/08/2005 10:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | More power, not necessarily more milage p/gallon. What we are all after is better EFFICANCY. All our experiments and efforts should begin with this principle. Acceleration(+/-) is affected by weight and drag. Get the weight down, check tyre pressures and avoid Hi Accelerations(+/-). Lean and total burn is product of well tuned motor. Light weight moving [internal] parts. BASIC PRINCIPLES |

WeTFoot 12/08/2005 10:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | User ID: 1281 sorry to bring knowledge to your domain, but sugar dont arm the motor. You would basicly need to fill the tank with sugar for it to have an effect. I did not say it was good for the motor, but you wont kill your engine. I saw it on tv, they tested the mith. (Mythbuster) but i watch them quite often, and might i say that they often forget important variable in their equation. So sugar in tank might be bad. |
Dr P 12/08/2005 10:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you pour hydrogen peroxide into your gas tank, it will immediately decompose into water and oxygen; you´ll actually be doing nothing more than putting water into the tank. If you use concentrated hydrogen peroxide--not the 3% solution you can buy at the drugstore--the decomposition, which is exothermic, would release enough heat to produce an explosion, igniting the gasoline in the process. In short: don´t do it. |

Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 1350 is right. this too would produce all the great effects of acetone... NONE!! If your car is pinging so bad that adding a non-petroleum solvent to your fuel makes it idle smoother you need new rings and/or pistons and/or a valve job. your not prolonging the inevitable, your actually speeding it up by breaking down your oil via contamination. If you think injecting acetone into oil wont change its PH and acidity you´re dead wrong and your car will pay the price. |

I cannot recommend it enough. My tests with peroxide have only acheived half the results that the sugar did. |

Quoting: Dr P 0In short: don´t do it. I don't know if it would break down to its singular chemical composition BUT it would most certainly begin to foam up, the pressure would likely be to swift and strong for the fuel tank vent causing the tank to explode OP don't ever believe what you hear on this board, people here are so whacked.

Peroxide has explosive properties and to give you an idea just HOW explosive it can be, it must be duly noted that the Russian sub that sank beneath the ice in the arctic was actually destroyed by an internal explosion caused by none othe than peroxide used to propel their torpedoes. If you want to boost your mileage and power, then you may want to look into HHO tech... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 918275 United States 06/01/2010 12:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually acetone works great because it cleans the fuel system as good or better than those cleaners for 5 - 10 bucks. I believe around 3 oz per 10 gallons of gas will clean the fuel system and restore power and therefore increase mpg. I ran acetone for two years and never had a problem. I have since switched to filling up with a 50/50 mix of ethanol and regular gas. While mpg may actually decrease a little, the cost of e85 is .70 to 1.00 cheaper than gas where I am. It burns cleaner and the acceleration is VERY noticeable probably due to the 110 octane. I have been running it this way for about a year and a half. The engine definitely runs smoother and more power. I drive a 97 f-150 and it works well for me plus it smells like a bar. Your mileage may vary. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 988567 Australia 06/01/2010 02:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Driving smoothly and keeping your engine tuned, air filter clean and tires at correct pressure are the only certain ways to optimize mileage. Acetone MAY do something but I've yet to see any hard evidence. Peroxide is big no no. This device looks interesting but once again I've yet to see any hard evidence. [link to www.fuelsaver.com.au] |

You basically are diluting your gas with water because the H2O2 will become H2O and O2 before ever reaching the engine. What I have known some people to do is install a controlled release oxygen tank to their engine. Pretty badass thing to do if you ask me. |
