    2. Two ounces of acetone per ten gallons of diesel fuel will greatly reduce soot and improve fuel mileage an average of 10-25 percent. You notice a gain in smoothness and performance. Acetone does help to make alcohol fuels more combustible by absorbing the water content that inevitably accompanies alcohol. In cold weather you may encounter wax or icy crystals of paraffin in your diesel fuel that can stop your engine. Acetone helps to keep the wax suspended in solution. See the graph on acetone use. Never use clear plastic bottles to hold gasoline or acetone. Use the ONYX 16 oz. pure acetone bottles from Walgreens or CVS. But never use acetone that contains benzoate, an ester that inhibits vaporization.

    I get it from the Web...
